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.

Bel accueil, service relativement long, j'ai eu le temps de manger mon smoked meat avant que les frites arrivent, 1 seul pickle pour une assiette de smoked meat, le pain était température pièce & le sandwich non assemblé...70$ à deux ! Excellent repas, mais la barre était trop haute, un peu attrape touriste comme endroit.

This place is great don't get me wrong, the prices are getting a little insane though. 25$ for a sandwich & fries? I'm sorry but that's too much.

Wow I am so glad we decided to visit Snowden Deli on our trip to Montreal. That absolute best meal we have had on this trip. Had family from UK with us & they were in awe. Special thanks to Elizabeth who made us feel so welcome & made sure we were taken care of. The best experience ever!!

I really love this location because it has a huge assortment of selections for us. No matter who you are, you will find a great option that works for you here. The general vibe is highly positive, friendly, & sociable. The help is quick. I will certainly be back in the future to see what else is left to experience around here.

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.

Overpriced small servings. The size of the smoked meat sandwich was a joke
