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.

Very good smoked meat. Staff is very welcoming. Great place for breakfast. Parking can be challenging, but well-worth the walk.

On Luke Martin's (Chopsticks Travel channel) recommendation, I decided to give this place a try with my family & wowwwww... it was as good as advertised!!!! Very juicy smoked meat & brisket sandwiches.... the old lady that served us was really friendly too, giving us the background story of the English-speaking Jewish community. The sandwiches were reasonably priced too at $14.50 for sooooooo much meat!! Will definitely go back next time in Montreal!!!

Cher & franchement poche. Ambiance déprimante. Si vous pouvez vous déplacer, c'est plus loin mais le roi du smoked meat sur St-Hubert est 1000 fois mieux.

Vraiment excellent, comme je me l'imaginais!!! Le smoked meat est tellement juteux & fondant. Ma copine a prix le sandwich au brisket avec sauce , juste génial. La salade de choux & les cornichons sont aussi très bon. Seul petit bémol serait peut être le prix un peux élevé, 60$ pour deux . Mais au final sa valait le coup.

Went to Snowdon's .on 10-20-24 at 1300. Line was about 3 minutes. Served a Smoked Meat Platter in less than 5 minutes. Excellent! Perfectly cooked. Made two sandwiches. One of the best in the city.

All I can say is it was overrated. The service was good & I love the old school feel of the place but the smoked meat was bland, the latkes were okay, & the hot brisket was like lunch meat quality & flavorless. Katz in New York is about 100x better than this place & that was disappointing given the reputation.
