I've had better smoked meat in Montreal but Snowdon Deli's sandwich is always consistant. I've never left disappointed unlike some other legendary delis in town.

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 👍

Being at Snowdon Deli in the morning just feels perfect. This place has one of the best smoked meat sandwiches in the city. As good as the food was the service; Being called'dear' by an older, sweetheart of a waitress just does something to my soul. ❤

Meilleur smoked meat en ville, service & ambiance à l'ancienne mais de qualité. Je recommande, c'est une institution.

I liked Snowdon Deli!

Tried the matzo ball soup which was delicious with a nice clear broth, an old fashioned style meat sandwich with a mix of fatty & lean, & a side of pickles. The sandwich was stuffed with meat that fell apart & was well seasoned but slightly too salted for my taste. I liked the pickle, you could tell they were nicely done but not crispy enough for me.

It was a a good experience & the servers were super awesome & happy. Definitely a Montreal staple.

I like this place better than Schwartz for the food & homestyle vibe. Amazing poutine & corned beef. Outstanding.

Un des meilleurs smoked-meat a Montréal. Dommage qu'ils ferment si tôt.
