Review Summary

Snowdon Deli is widely regarded as an iconic Montreal institution, celebrated for its nostalgic, old-school diner atmosphere and authentic deli experience. Many visitors praise the smoked meat sandwiches as tender, flavorful, and among the best in the city, often preferring the location for its friendly service and lack of overwhelming tourist queues compared to other famous establishments. While the menu features a variety of well-loved classics such as brisket, matzo ball soup, and latkes, experiences regarding portion sizes and pricing can be mixed. Although most patrons appreciate the welcoming, community-focused vibe and the dedicated staff, some recent reviews have noted inconsistencies in food quality and service efficiency during peak hours.

Our second favorite of the three smoked meat spots we tried. The sandwich was tasty, meat was well done & lovely peppery flavor, & the matzo ball soup was delicious. The service was on the slow side, the staff's friendliness made up for it.

L'endroit est convivial pour les passants. Le smoke meet est très bon. Le service est bien aussi main en anglais la plupart. Les portions ne sont pas généreuses donc ca devient un peut cher à la fin.

I ordered the tongue sandwich with fries & was not impressed. The sandwich was served cold & lacked seasoning, which made it quite underwhelming. The fries, however, were good

Apparently good smoked beef sandwiches but I went for eggs Benedict. They were OK. I won't be back.

Delicious smoked meat sandwich, I loved that it was not salty & rye bread was so fresh. Nice down to earth people. I will crave this sandwich when Im back in Ontario for sure & I'm not a sandwich or deli fan. Well done!
