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 atmosphere. Service was good. Food arrived relatively quickly for such a busy place. The food was just passable. Fries were not good. Bread was great but meat was dry. Portions were on the small side Dessert was bland. That said I could see there were a lot of happy regulars & it may be I just ordered the wrong things

Snowdon Deli which is situated on Decarie Boulevard is in my opinion is a real old fashioned delicatessen which is very rare in Montreal nowadays. My wife & I needed our smoked meat fix & decided to visit this Montreal institution for a Smoked Meat on rye. The sandwiches that were served were hot, juicy, & absolutely delicious thus satisfying our craving completely. If you are a Smoked Meat addict then this is the perfect place to stop by.

Best smoked meat in Montreal. The debate will go on, but that's where I stand. The fixings are great as well. Don't forget the club roll, karnatzel, kreplach & holishkes. Get a pound a smoked turkey on your way out!
