Snowdon Deli is an absolute classic in Montreal & a must visit for anyone who loves authentic deli food. Their smoked meat sandwich is legendary, stacked high with perfectly spiced & tender meat that practically melts in your mouth. The old school diner atmosphere adds so much charm to the dining experience. The waitstaff are incredibly friendly & efficient, even when the place is packed. Always a highly satisfying meal.

Very disappointing experience. I paid nearly $20 for a turkey sandwich that contained only a tiny sliver of turkey & was nowhere near filling enough for the price. To make matters worse, I was charged extra for the roll, & this was never disclosed when ordering.

The service was also poor. The waitress was snappy & rude when we asked questions, which made us feel unwelcome. In addition, the floor appeared unclean, which did not leave a good impression of the restaurant's cleanliness.

Between the overpriced food, extremely small portion size, unexpected extra charges, rude service, & cleanliness concerns, I left feeling frustrated & disappointed. I will not be returning.

One of the best deli sandwiches I have ever had. The staff are amazing & super sweet. Will definitely be back!!
Update- went back for the smoked meat which was great but the showstopper was their hot brisket sandwich. Loved it so much that I bought it again for dinner.

I was told to go here by the team at joe beef. I was going to schwartzs but they said I would be queing for ages… everytime I walked by schwartzs there was a que. If you've been to a kosher deli in london, this is exactly like that. The smoked meat was delicious. Distinct from londons salt beef & new yorks pastrami. Well worth it. The fries looked amazing but I wanted Knisch as we dont get those in London.

update: I just had it again today & it really tastes just like everybody else's smoked meat, also, I ordered grilled karnatsils & they were taking a long time to come so ask the waitress. she went to check & brought them to me burnt like charcoal. I couldn't believe it.

I enjoy almost all the food there I love the smoked meat I love their breakfasts, last time I picked up an order they forgot the grilled Karnatsles (don't know how to spell it) which I paid for.

Un incontournable à Montréal. Nourriture excellente! Prévoir un peu d'attente avant d'avoir une table, il y a souvent une file.

Smoked meat sandwich & a Matza ball soup was a fantastic first meat in Montreal.
