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.

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?

Bel accueil, service relativement long, j'ai eu le temps de manger mon smoked meat avant que les frites arrivent, 1 seul pickle pour une assiette de smoked meat, le pain était température pièce & le sandwich non assemblé...70$ à deux ! Excellent repas, mais la barre était trop haute, un peu attrape touriste comme endroit.

This place is great don't get me wrong, the prices are getting a little insane though. 25$ for a sandwich & fries? I'm sorry but that's too much.
