Each serving features brisket rubbed with a signature blend of spices and slow-smoked until tender. This establishment maintains a straightforward menu centered on the core product alongside essential sides like fresh coleslaw and yellow mustard. The interior environment reflects a functional, high-traffic aesthetic defined by tight seating arrangements and utilitarian decor meant for efficient service. Patrons receive portions of cured beef hand-sliced to order to ensure the specific texture and temperature required by local standards. The culinary experience relies on this consistent method of preparation that has defined the establishment for decades while focusing entirely on the quality of the primary protein.

Well this is a historic place for the smoked meat in whole Canada & I tried the smoked meat sandwich. It was genuinely very juicy & tasty. The quantity was huge in the $17 overall bill. It can satisfy one person appetite for sure. It is a must try for lasting memories if you come to Montreal. I had also ordered their French fries 🍟 but those were not very classic & had gone through over deep frying I felt. To be noted part is that there is no parking available on that busy place, but we all know whole Montreal has limited parking spaces.

Le meilleur smoke meat de montreal,du quebec ,du Canada ,d'Amérique du nord .
Prenez le médium, du gras mais pas trop .
Gros bémol le cornichon à l'aneth vraiment pas terrible.
Armez vous de patience généralement il y'a un line up
À l'interieur on remonte dans le temps & c'est vraiment ça qui crée un ambiance aussi cool .
Les serveurs ......ouais bon on vas dire pour être smart qu'ils sont désabusés
Quant aux tarifs ils sont ce qu'ils sont c'est à dire cher ,même très chzr pour un sandwich un cheery coke & une frite mais bon ont le sait avant même de rentrer !

I was worried this place wouldn't live up to the hype, but I was wrong. Ordered both the sandwich & poutine & both were amazing. I'll be dreaming about this place for a long time. It was busy but the lineup moved fast & we were happy to be seated at the counter where they were busy serving to hungry diners. Highly recommended.

Very sad to write this review. My first time back in 20 years was extremely disappointing. While waiting in the takeout line on the sidewalk, a very rude employee put his hand in my face, closed the door & said not to come inside until there was more room. The smoked meat was not prepared properly, all I tasted was tons of salt, & the bread pieces were so small - the slices of rye looked like they'd been halved - it was impossible to pick as a sandwich. I paid $17 for that. One of the framed articles at the back said the latest owner tried to make improvements, encouraging employees to be more friendly, to not put off tourists. It's not working. I won't be back. Fix your recipe & your attitude please.
