Les critiques décrivent Snowdon Deli comme une institution chaleureuse et à l'ancienne à Montréal, avec une ambiance de deli classique et un personnel amical et attentif; la viande fumée est souvent louée pour sa tendreté, son jus et sa saveur, et est considérée par beaucoup comme l'une des meilleures de la ville, et les accompagnements comme les frites, la soupe de matzo ball, les cornichons et les knishes reçoivent aussi des éloges. L'ambiance est accueillante et locale, parfois nostalgique, parfois animée, avec le brunch et les plats à emporter mentionnés; les portions peuvent varier et les prix sont jugés raisonnables pour la qualité mais parfois un peu élevés, et le service peut être lent en période d'affluence. Dans l'ensemble, les visiteurs repartent satisfaits et désirent revenir pour le sandwich emblématique de viande fumée et les autres classiques, faisant de Snowdon Deli une destination priseée pour une expérience de deli montréalaises authentique.
Great spot to get the Montreal smoked meat sandwich. The sandwich is solid & the combination of smoked meat, bread, & mustard is delicious. My brother & I also tried poutine from here which was pretty solid too. Service was excellent, our waitress was super friendly & did a great job with anything that was needed on our end, I would give six stars if I could for the service. The atmosphere was pretty nice, felt like a classic spot that you could tell was loved by the community. Definitely would recommend coming here.

I recently bought aged Karnatzel as I have done for many years & it seems obvious to me that Snowdon Deli has changed their supplier. It was alwsys my favorite treat & now it tastes like rubber with no depth of taste whatsoever.. sad as Karnatzel is such a staple in deli purchases
My family & I love coming here. The vibe is old school, & nostalgic. The bagel & lox is a absolutely delicious. The home potatoes & pancakes are excellent. We always enjoy our meals when we come regardless of what we order. The service is warm & friendly. Definitely one of our top breakfast places.
I'd say that this is the best smoked meat sandwich that I ever had. It was extremely moist, tender, & had a ton of flavor. Their pickles were also excellent & true fermented deli pickles. If you're from NY or NJ, you'd love this place.
Classic deli with a great smoked meat sandwich. Was smaller than I was expecting, but full of flavour. The meat was so tender. The matzo ball soup & potato salad were also great.

Today in Montreal .
I'd spent a considerable amount of time researching kosher delis in Montréal. I settled on Snowdons. Far enough off the track to lose the tourist lines & it had cred 🤷🏼?♂?.
Walked to the metro to find the system was locked out due to the strike . But the train wasn't. So we took the train to Lachine ? No busses. The deli was 2.9 km away . On foot. A pilgrimage with KA . We pushed on ! 😄
Snowdons didn't disappoint. Smoked meat sandwiches, kniches , half sour pickles , coleslaw , cucumber salad .
All the Jewish greatest hits . But, the surprise turned out to be the meat balls in sauce with fries. Jewtine we called it. Unbeatable . Oh, & Karneatzel . & Flieschers cherry coke !
The staff were so accommodating. We were inquisitive & clueless . We were given chopped liver on rye to see if we liked it & ended up buying a bunch of stuff for the hotel ❤?
What an experience .
Our second favorite of the three smoked meat spots we tried. The sandwich was tasty, meat was well done & lovely peppery flavor, & the matzo ball soup was delicious. The service was on the slow side, the staff's friendliness made up for it.

Delicious smoked meat sandwich, I loved that it was not salty & rye bread was so fresh. Nice down to earth people. I will crave this sandwich when Im back in Ontario for sure & I'm not a sandwich or deli fan. Well done!
Le brisket du Snowdon Deli est tout simplement incroyable ! Tendre, juteux & plein de saveur, c'est le meilleur que j'aie mangé à Montréal. Portion généreuse, service rapide & ambiance classique qui donne envie de revenir. Un vrai incontournable !
Whilst most tourists opt for the Montreal Smoked Meat at the iconic' Schwartz'. We decided to follow the recommendations of a few local chefs & head over to another Montreal institution,' Snowdon Deli' instead. In our opinion, in addition to equally if not better tasting Smoked meat, Corn Beef & Brisket, Snowdon also offers a bigger & more varied menu.
The result? A most enjoyable casual lunch with stand-out sandwiches, Jewish deli fare & a mindbogglingly good Chicken soup with dumplings( kreplach)!

Amazing smoked meat, easily as good or better than Schwartz. But the warm atmosphere & pride of craft is really on display. The deli staff shared stories about the food, & made sure we tried all the best stuff. Get the medium fat sliced hot sandwich of course, but also make sure you get a bag of pastries - especially the Hamantaschen - on your way out.
Snowdon Deli is a Jewish deli serving Montréal classics. We came here for brunch during our stay in Canada.
We were keen to try the smoked meat deli sandwich, as we had heard it's one of Montréal's delicacies. We were not disappointed as the sandwich was fulfilling & delicious.
The Potato Latkes was heavy on the stomach, & went well with the accompanying apple sauce & sour cream.
Snowdon Deli remains a staple for those craving classic smoked meat & other satisfying lunch staples. The atmosphere evokes a traditional diner feel - casual, unpretentious, & steeped in local character. The food is consistently well-prepared, delivering on both flavor.
Service is generally courteous & efficient, though it can slow during peak times, particularly on weekends when the restaurant is at capacity. Pricing is on the higher side, & the lack of combo options may leave some patrons wanting more value. Still, for an authentic Montreal deli experience, Snowdon Deli continues to hold its place as a beloved institution.
Excellent Classic Smoked Meat Sandwich.
Had the smoked meat sandwich'medium' & old-fashioned spiced, just as recommended-absolutely excellent. Tender, juicy, & full of flavour. The fries were tasty too, though most pieces were too short /small for my liking. Still enjoyable. Added a cherry Coke for the full throwback deli experience. All around, a great visit.
