Open since 1949 & the food & service are just as good. Smoked meat was superb & our waitress was fantastic.

One of the Lost great places in Montreal if you want to go for a quick nosh. It's been doing something the right for the last 80 years & it's always been a pleasure to stop by here. Whenever I'm in town. Just remember to go for something medium or fatty in terms of the smoke meat cuts & it's one of the last places in town where you can also get a classic tongue sandwich or a good piece of brisket. I've got friends who go out of their way to bring back a ton of their favorites from the chopped liver & onwards all the way back to Israel or for the snowbirds to stock up just before the winter on the way to Florida.

Best'smoked meat,' a Montreal Jewish culinary variation on pastrami (?) that has entered the local cuisine, along with bagels. It melts in your mouth.

First time staying in the Decarie area after many other Montreal visits in other areas of town, so I finally made it to Snowdon Deli. I've tried (& enjoyed) so many others…Schwartz (of course), Dunn's, Lester's, SM Pete, Le Roi. Sadly, Snowdon was a let down. The smoked meat was tender & tasty enough, but it was poorly cut & honestly just meh. I made it a combo with their recommended smoked turkey, which was also a disappointment. This review would have this been a 2/5, but I returned for breakfast & had a superb bagel with lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, & capers. It was perfectly balanced & on point. The service both visits was friendly & attentive. So, overall a cumulative 4/5.
