Review Summary

Snowdon Deli emerges in reviews as a Montreal institution with an old school, welcoming deli vibe where the smoked meat sandwich is consistently praised for tenderness and rich flavor, the brisket earns praise for melt in your mouth texture, and the bagels, matzo ball soup, latkes, knishes, and pickles round out a hearty experience. Many describe the service as friendly and efficient, with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that draws locals and visitors alike, though it can get slow when crowds are large. Takeout and dine in both work well, and portions are often generous, though a few visits note prices are high for the amount of food or that particular items were not up to par on that day, including some disappointing fries or dry meat. Still, the overall sentiment centers on Snowdon Deli as a top spot for authentic Montreal smoked meat and classic Jewish deli fare, a must visit for those seeking a traditional, comforting, and dependable deli experience.

Enjoyed the juicy & decadent old fashioned smoked meat sandwich & chased it with a perfectly seasoned coleslaw.

Really nice place feeling really welcoming with nice servers.. the only problem is that this place is so good that we need to make it bigger!!! Cause me & my family we went & we were 5 & there is only max space for 4 people squizzed!!! So that would be nice but either way the vibes are good like if I was a 90s dine

C'est le meilleur endroit pour le smoke meat & la poutine ( & la tarte au cerise, & la tarte au bleuet, & ... ) Le service est aussi le meilleur.

Old school. Needs a reno, but you don't go here for the ambiance, you go here for the smoked meat. Better than Reubens.

I've been going here since I was a teenager with my Dad. It's one of our favourite lunch spots for smoke meat. They are honestly all so friendly here & the food is unbeatable. We leave satisfied every time.
