Les avis décrivent Smoke Meat Pete comme une institution légendaire à Montréal, avec des portions généreuses de viande fumée tendre et savoureuse, des frites et une poutine remarquables, et une ambiance blues dynamique portée par des groupes live qui attirent locaux et visiteurs. L'accueil est souvent salué pour sa gentillesse et son service efficace, mais plusieurs commentaires signalent une hausse des prix et, dans certains cas, des portions plus petites ou une qualité de viande inégale, en particulier pour les coupes maigres ou plus grasses. Le cadre peut être bondé et le système de commande au comptoir est fréquent, avec des plats à emporter très populaires; malgré tout, la valeur globale fait débat à mesure que les prix augmentent, tandis que beaucoup affirment que la viande, la fumaison et l'authenticité de l'endroit valent le détour, surtout lors des soirées avec musique live.
Authentic restaurant with friendly service, interesting rustic decor, great live blues music, & amazing food. I tried the ribs plate, which was excellent & came with delicious appetizers like liver & sausages. I also had the smoked meat platter, & it was the best smoked meat I've ever tried. A great discovery! Portions are huge too. I always end up taking leftovers home & getting another meal out of it the next day.

70$ pour deux poutines au smoked meat avec une des deux poutines extra-fromage. Tout le menu est très (trop) cher. La nourriture est bonne, on ne peut pas leur enlever ça. Mais les prix, ça ne fait aucun sens! En plus, les quantités laissent à désirer. À 70$ pour deux poutines, je me serais au moins attendu à des assiettes pleines.
Every local know this is the best smoked meat in Montreal 🔥 the staff is the sweetest & the vibe is 10/10, the food is delicious (my mom loved the liver & she doesn't even like that stuff usually haha)
The smoked meat was great - it's a shame about the bread, though. For $26, one would hope for a better quality rye bread (or a pickle to accompany the sandwich 😅). Would've given 5 stars if it weren't for that 🤷🏻?♀? Poutine was good too - no complaints there. The service was friendly & the band was FANTASTIC (it made for a lively atmosphere!)
The good: I tried their Smoked Meat/Brisket & it was great. It melted in your mouth. The atmosphere was also great with live music. Staff friendly & helpful. The bad: Their appetizer/starter pork ribs seemed dry. Although I ordered this to go, I ate it right away, & the pork ribs were room temperature & fries were not hot or crispy.
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.

Personally, I think it's the best place to eat the smoked meat in Quebec. In first, the meat is very delicious, also the French fries are freshly cut, & it's a plus (other famous place in Montreal, use the frozen ones).
It's a pity there's no service: you have to do a line to order. After ordering they bring the stuff to the table. But if you, then, want something else, you have to do the line again.
I've only eaten in once, so I can only really speak for takeout: it's the absolute best smoked meat. The fries are fantastic too & so is the smoked meat poutine. We tried the roast beef & it's really good, too.
Updated review (March 2026): the food is still great, but this place has definitely become a tourist trap. Its always been pricey but now prices are absurd, just not worth it anymore - might be one of the best smoked meat out there, but there's hundreds of other restaurants in Montreal that will charge half the price for better food.
Original review (5 stars): Consistently great service & food, I'm impressed by how well they are managing the covid regulations compared to other restaurants, well done 👏
Went there based on the hype. Brought my sons & mother. Terrible stringy smoked meat. Full of fat. I related my opinion with the waitress. Showed her the strings. No response.
127 bucks for 4 & we couldn't finish it.
Terrible management. Vying for profits at the detriment of their customers.
