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.

Nice Montreal Deli with above average smoked meat & really good fries. Prices are a tad high for the amount of food you get as I wouldn't mind paying it if the sandwiches were a bit larger. Service was good & quick so I'd probably give them another try someday if I ventured into that area of Montreal. 8.4/10

For $17 (after tax) I wish this sandwich was bigger. While the taste was excellent, I ate this in 6 bites.

Hard to believe that in all my years in Montreal I was going here for the first time. This is a typical deli, with booths & a deli counter. We shared a smoke meat sandwich & some sides & it was very good. The prices were great also, still a place where you can have a solid lunch for around $20.

The smoked meat sandwich was delicious, but for $15 it is pretty small. I got some poutine as well which was run of the mill, & at $15 was also overpriced.
