Snowdon Déli

One of the Lost great places in Montreal if you want to go for a quick nosh. It's been doing something the right for the last 80 years & it's always been a pleasure to stop by here. Whenever I'm in town. Just remember to go for something medium or fatty in terms of the smoke meat cuts & it's one of the last places in town where you can also get a classic tongue sandwich or a good piece of brisket. I've got friends who go out of their way to bring back a ton of their favorites from the chopped liver & onwards all the way back to Israel or for the snowbirds to stock up just before the winter on the way to Florida.

We ordered the hot brisket sandwich, a smoked meat sandwich & latkes. The hot brisket was hands down the best thing on the menu. Tasted like a beautiful french dip sandwich. The smoked meat sandwich was decent but we had better elsewhere in Montreal. Latkes were also solid.

One of the best deli sandwiches I have ever had. The staff are amazing & super sweet. Will definitely be back!!
Update- went back for the smoked meat which was great but the showstopper was their hot brisket sandwich. Loved it so much that I bought it again for dinner.

An old school deli serving smoked brisket & other deli & non deli options.

SMOKE MEAT sandwich $15.95
The smoked meat was ok. Typical rye bread with mustard.
HOT BRISKET sandwich $15.95
The brisket with the gravy itself isn't bad. Soft. Very tender & easy to eat.
DAILY SOUP (pea soup) $7.00
Noodles in. Was ok.

Overall. Portions are a bit smaller & considering the price. Understand that beef prices have gone up, but seems a bit expensive for the portions given no other sides are included.
Paid Street parking at $3/hr.

Ordered twice for takeout:

First time, smoke meat poutine was great. Second time, there was barely any smoke meat, very disappointing.

Smoke Meat platter was good, Beef Brisket was even better. Definitely in the top of our list of good eats in Montreal.

Service was great, the gentleman taking our order was helpful & straightforward.

We'll definitely be back, but maybe we'll just stick to the platters.

Really good dining experience.

Love this place it is my go to for smoked meat in the city! It is not salty but simply tasty, texture wise is very good too

Their brisket is very good too as well as the fries & coslaw

Their matzo ball soup is also my favorite go to in Montreal, best matzo ball soup I have had so far!

Special thanks to Sherri (sorry if mispelled) for being such a tentative professional & kind waitress!

Le brisket du Snowdon Deli est tout simplement incroyable ! Tendre, juteux & plein de saveur, c'est le meilleur que j'aie mangé à Montréal. Portion généreuse, service rapide & ambiance classique qui donne envie de revenir. Un vrai incontournable !

Whilst most tourists opt for the Montreal Smoked Meat at the iconic' Schwartz'. We decided to follow the recommendations of a few local chefs & head over to another Montreal institution,' Snowdon Deli' instead. In our opinion, in addition to equally if not better tasting Smoked meat, Corn Beef & Brisket, Snowdon also offers a bigger & more varied menu.
The result? A most enjoyable casual lunch with stand-out sandwiches, Jewish deli fare & a mindbogglingly good Chicken soup with dumplings( kreplach)!

Heard so much about this place , finally grabbed a smoked meat sandwich to go. Looked small , but packed with meat, just the right combination of fat & flavour. I had a busy day in the city & it is July now, next time I will grab some brisket by the pound

This is a must-stop for us, becoming a tradition to eat brunch here before heading back to Ontario. Fatty brisket sandwich is my favourite. I took home bagel, cream cheese & lox. While I was waiting for my dine-in food, I asked the counter to prepare take-home food to feed my family. They had a package waiting for me at exit. Inside, it looks like time has stood still - love the diner feel, & it's popular with the locals.
