Went for lunch & had the smoked meat plate. Food was delicious & service amazing. Fastest service I have ever seen in a sit down restaurant. I ordered & literally 2 mins later I had my food & drinks!

Authentic Montréal diner has been here since 1946 & serves classic deli fare. Smoked meat FTW. Great place for a casual lunch.

Very friendly service, nice environment. Delicious smoked meat but poutine was cold & the portions for price are small. Overall it is really pricey for what you get.

Le rapport qualité-prix à ce déli laisse à désirer. La taille du sandwich est beaucoup trop petite pour son prix de plus de 16$. La viande est bonne, sans être exceptionnelle ni justifier ce prix.

Pour un petit sandwich au smoked meat, une frite & une canette de boisson gazeuse, il faut compter autour de 30$, sans compter de pourboire.

La salle à manger est propre mais l'ambiance est assez neutre & manque de cachet & de chaleur. Par contre, le service est très sympathique.

Un endroit bien, sans être l'incontournable que certains décrivent.

Comically overpriced. $20 for pancakes & then they charge you extra for maple syrup. Quite possibly the most expensive yet most basic pancakes with syrup in north America.

The cornbeef hash was way overpriced & worse than waffle house with only a couple bites of beef… I felt like I was being punked or something. How in god's name is this place still open?
