Les avis présentent Snowdon Deli comme une institution montréalienne au charme old school, où la smoked meat tient la vedette et où le sandwich smoked meat, tendre et généreux, s'appuie sur d'autres classiques comme le brisket, le corned beef, la soupe au matzo ball et les latkes; l'ambiance conviviale et authentique, le service chaleureux et efficace, ainsi que la possibilité de prendre à emporter ou sur place, ressortent régulièrement comme des points forts, tout comme les cornichons et la salade qui accompagnent les plats; les portions et les prix font parfois débat, certains trouvant les portions plus modestes ou les tarifs élevés, mais la majorité s'accorde à dire que la nourriture est réconfortante et bien préparée; la soupe est souvent louée pour sa clarté et son goût, les knishes et les pickles restent des incontournables et le deli est recommandé comme une expérience culinaire montréalaine à ne pas manquer; au final Snowdon Deli offre une expérience traditionnelle et satisfaisante pour les amateurs de smoked meat, malgré quelques aléas de service en période de forte affluence et de variabilité dans les portions et les frites.
If you have a car skip Schwartz's & come to Snowdon instead. No long tourist lines, & you don't feel rushed. This has all the benefits of one of Montreal's best smoked meat sandwich experience without the lines. The staff are all very friendly & many locals come here.
Not for everyone but they have amazing chopped liver here! I always get a pound of it to go whenever I'm in Montreal.
What an iconic staple of Montreal history, it is like a walk back in time with it's older decor & family based atmosphere. The food is quite affordable but very delicious, we got the smoke meat sandwiches with their fries. Our server was very funny, friendly & provided great recommendations to us first timers. It is very different from Schwartz but just as delicious in a different manner, their smoke meat is very tender & juicy! Worth a visit & the servers are worth tipping ✨?

Iconic Deli that has been around for decades! I had it when I was a little kid (that's like …. A long time ago!😉) & decided to go back in time to try their famous smoked meat & corn beef! I ordered a smoked meat sandwich (medium fat) & a corn beef platter ( corn beef, fries & pickles) at the take out counter. The staff was friendly & service was quick. They even gave me a few complimentary pastries.
The sandwich was really moist & melt in your mouth. A very good old fashioned smoked meat sandwich. Not as smoky flavour as other establishments but very delicious. The corn beef was just as I remembered. Boiled instead of smoked & the texture is a little more firm.
Deli seats about 50, service is friendly & knowledgeable. Good variety on the menu. 6am-6pm, Parking may be a challenge as only metered parking.
Reasonably priced. Worth the visit!
ubereated a smoked meat sandwich (medium) & a few other things that made the fries free. The sandwich was smaller & more expensive than lester's say, & I did not see any fat. The free fries were not included & uber will not reimburse a free item. So, they advertise free fries after $50, but whether they include them or not, there are no consequences (except my disappointment)
It is with a heavy heart to have to update my recent experiences at Snowdon Deli.
During the first recent lunch visit, I ordered a clubroll with fries & a soft drink. The clubroll was exceedingly dry & the fries were not edible. Prior to this visit I would have described the fries as the very best in all of Montreal.
Convinced by friends to return, I ordered a smoked meat sandwich with fries & a cherry coke. The meat in the sandwich was as dry as saw dust, the bread fell apart. The fries were not edible tasting like frozen fries & not like the hand cut fries that used to be unbelievably delicious. When leaving, I asked one of the owners what was going on with the fries. He insisted that nothing had changed. That statement was nowhere near the truth. I then googled seeking other comments & found a significant number of diners who agreed with me on the fries. Whatever is going on, I for one will not return any time soon for a third visit.
We found this restaurant online & we enjoyed the food a lot.
We went at around 5pm on a Tuesday, we were able to order directly from the takeout section & still have our meal in the dining area, even though it was already closed. The lady at the cash register was very friendly, so were the gentlemen who took my order at the takeout counter.
We ordered a smoked meat sandwich & onion rings for the two of us to start. The onion rings had a light batter that was crispy but not crunchy, which we enjoyed very much. The smoked meat sandwich was amazing - it literally falls apart easily, so tender & juicy. Its a small sandwich, & comparatively, it is lacking the flavour you'd expect from smoked meat, but it was so good that we ordered smoked meat poutine after devouring the sandwich. The smoked meat poutine was fine, & in hindsight we should've expected that the tender meat was gonna be lost in the poutine, but it was still delicious.

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.
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.

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.
I ordered the tongue sandwich with fries & was not impressed. The sandwich was served cold & lacked seasoning, which made it quite underwhelming. The fries, however, were good

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.
