Les critiques décrivent Snowdon Deli comme une institution chaleureuse et à l'ancienne à Montréal, avec une ambiance de deli classique et un personnel amical et attentif; la viande fumée est souvent louée pour sa tendreté, son jus et sa saveur, et est considérée par beaucoup comme l'une des meilleures de la ville, et les accompagnements comme les frites, la soupe de matzo ball, les cornichons et les knishes reçoivent aussi des éloges. L'ambiance est accueillante et locale, parfois nostalgique, parfois animée, avec le brunch et les plats à emporter mentionnés; les portions peuvent varier et les prix sont jugés raisonnables pour la qualité mais parfois un peu élevés, et le service peut être lent en période d'affluence. Dans l'ensemble, les visiteurs repartent satisfaits et désirent revenir pour le sandwich emblématique de viande fumée et les autres classiques, faisant de Snowdon Deli une destination priseée pour une expérience de deli montréalaises authentique.
Snowden is a classic Montreal deli. When people ask about Schwartz's, I tell them to come here. Hart & the team really try to offer the best service possible. We have used them for large catering several times & they always are highly reliable.
If you have a car skip Schwartz's & come to Snowdon instead. No long tourist lines, & you don't feel rushed. This has all the benefits of one of Montreal's best smoked meat sandwich experience without the lines. The staff are all very friendly & many locals come here.
Not for everyone but they have amazing chopped liver here! I always get a pound of it to go whenever I'm in Montreal.

What an iconic staple of Montreal history, it is like a walk back in time with it's older decor & family based atmosphere. The food is quite affordable but very delicious, we got the smoke meat sandwiches with their fries. Our server was very funny, friendly & provided great recommendations to us first timers. It is very different from Schwartz but just as delicious in a different manner, their smoke meat is very tender & juicy! Worth a visit & the servers are worth tipping ✨?
Born & raised in Montreal & I have driven by Snowdon Deli probably 1000 times yet never tried this historic restaurant. Let me tell you families!!! RUN TO THIS PLACE!!! What a warm welcome I received from the ENTIRE staff as I walked in. Greeted which smiles & hellos from left, right & far in back. A BIG shout out to Heart; your energy & hospitality is rare to find these days! That smoke meat sandwich was melt in your mouth tender & delicious! I find a lot of smoke meat restaurants in Mtl have lost the soul that made Montreal one of the smoke meat capitals of the world but Snowdon deli has EVERYTHING on point!
From the hostess, to the waitresses, to the folks behind the counter & the brotha slicing & dicing that iconic smoked meat sandwich in back!!! THANK YOU ALL !!!
I definitely have found y go to place when I am craving a smoked meat sandwich!!! See you on the 10th Heart!!
Iconic Deli that has been around for decades! I had it when I was a little kid (that's like …. A long time ago!😉) & decided to go back in time to try their famous smoked meat & corn beef! I ordered a smoked meat sandwich (medium fat) & a corn beef platter ( corn beef, fries & pickles) at the take out counter. The staff was friendly & service was quick. They even gave me a few complimentary pastries.
The sandwich was really moist & melt in your mouth. A very good old fashioned smoked meat sandwich. Not as smoky flavour as other establishments but very delicious. The corn beef was just as I remembered. Boiled instead of smoked & the texture is a little more firm.
Deli seats about 50, service is friendly & knowledgeable. Good variety on the menu. 6am-6pm, Parking may be a challenge as only metered parking.
Reasonably priced. Worth the visit!
Not the biggest fan of this place. A deli that closes at 6pm... I don't know, it's weird. The food is ok. Some will say it is the best smoked meat, but I disagree.
If you are looking for an authentic smoked meat experience this is the place to go. There may be more famous places, but Snowdon Deli is not to be missed!
