Unfortunately this was not a great experience:(. The service was fine but the brunch was not great. The beef bacon was so salty it was almost inedible…we ordered two standard breakfasts (fried eggs, bacon, home fries) swapped out toast for bagels & had coffee (refills aren't free after 11 am?). The bill came out to over $80, for breakfast (2 people).

First time staying in the Decarie area after many other Montreal visits in other areas of town, so I finally made it to Snowdon Deli. I've tried (& enjoyed) so many others…Schwartz (of course), Dunn's, Lester's, SM Pete, Le Roi. Sadly, Snowdon was a let down. The smoked meat was tender & tasty enough, but it was poorly cut & honestly just meh. I made it a combo with their recommended smoked turkey, which was also a disappointment. This review would have this been a 2/5, but I returned for breakfast & had a superb bagel with lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, & capers. It was perfectly balanced & on point. The service both visits was friendly & attentive. So, overall a cumulative 4/5.

update: I just had it again today & it really tastes just like everybody else's smoked meat, also, I ordered grilled karnatsils & they were taking a long time to come so ask the waitress. she went to check & brought them to me burnt like charcoal. I couldn't believe it.

I enjoy almost all the food there I love the smoked meat I love their breakfasts, last time I picked up an order they forgot the grilled Karnatsles (don't know how to spell it) which I paid for.

I like this old school deli. the portion of smoked meat with my breakfast plate was a little light, sad cause it's sooo good. Next time I will gladly pay for extra meat.
We were lucky to be there while it was quiet for a minute after breakfast, the butcher John was super nice & had the time to give us a tour of all the meats & pastries . Of which we bought a few boxes, very good 👍

My family & I love coming here. The vibe is old school, & nostalgic. The bagel & lox is a absolutely delicious. The home potatoes & pancakes are excellent. We always enjoy our meals when we come regardless of what we order. The service is warm & friendly. Definitely one of our top breakfast places.

Snowden Deli is probably the last authentic deli left in Montreal.
Form old timers to newbies , this is a must visit in montreal for smoke meat sandwich, Or pick ups from their deli counter: amazing white fish salad?, Chopped liver, & a variety of other deli classics. Expect long lines on weekends for breakfast.

Went way out of our way to grab a smoked meat sandwich on our last day in Montreal & it was sooo worth it. Not only did they hook us up during breakfast time with a togo sandwich, they told us about the history of the spot & it was probably the warmest welcome we had in all of Canada.

& the sandwich was DELICIOUS!
