Review Summary

Smoke Meat Pete is widely considered a staple destination for authentic Montreal style smoked meat, offering a unique, rustic atmosphere frequently complemented by live blues music. While many patrons praise the tender, flavorful meat, generous portions, and high quality of the sides like fries and coleslaw, the overall experience can be polarized by factors such as fluctuating prices, occasional inconsistencies in meat texture, and a loud environment that may not suit everyone. The ordering process, which involves paying at the counter before being served, is sometimes described as confusing for first time visitors, yet the staff is generally noted for being friendly and efficient. Despite some debates regarding value and volume, the restaurant remains a beloved landmark for those traveling through the area who appreciate a lively, character filled dining experience.

Ambiance très agréable cependant la musique augmenté afin de libérer les places ce n'est pas très professionnel.
Ce qui m'a le plus dérangé c'est que la serveuse a manipulé une poubelle puis a servit nos assiettes sans se laver les mains ce qui laisse à désiré.
En outre je soulignerais le fait que le restaurant a un bon goût de « reviens y »si seulement & seulement si je me présenterais en Woody de Toys Story accompagné de mon crazy horses
Je résumerais cela à un manque de potentiel l'expérience client n'est pas assez appuyé la France s'en souviendra 🇫🇷

7.7/10

I ordered the smoked meat sandwich, & it was quite tasty & unique. They're definitely heavier on the pepper seasoning, & it doesn't have that classic pastrami?like flavour. It's almost closer to corned beef but with a bold & heavy pepper seasoning, it's unique & really enjoyable. If you like smoked meat, this place is worth trying because it's different from the usual. The meat itself is tender. I do wish the sandwich had a bit more fat, but next time I'll just ask for it. I would also recommend to leave it in the steamer for a little longer as well.
