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.
Stopped for lunch & were able to be seated immediately. Ordered smoked meat sandwiches & fries. The fries were decent & the sandwiches were fantastic. We'll be back!
This classic deli serves really one of the best if not the best smoked meat in Montréal. But it is not only their food but the extremely warm & friendly service which has to be mentioned. If you are in Montréal & want to enjoy delicious food with outstanding hospitality you have to go to Snowdon's Deli.
Went to Schwartz the past 2 times until someone recommended me to Snowdon Deli. I highly rate their smoked meat sandwich. We also had the Snowdon special & coleslaw. Both were good. I'd definitely come here over Schwartz. I got the fatty cut & absolutely no regrets. There was no line. Service was quick & friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Came Saturday for lunch! Hard to find parking in the area. Luckily line was not very long. Got the smoked meat sandwich (portion size is small in my opinion). Meat was very soft. Also got an order of fries.
Went today for the first time to get a take out, the service was super friendly & welcoming. We already felt like regulars, & will definitely become so. Got the potato salad & some tuna/egg sandwich, both were good!! I recommend.
Today was my first time at Snowdon Deli & I regret not having it on my radar sooner. Had smoked meat & fries. Probably the best smoked meat I've had. ✨

I ordered take out, they also have a dining room.
This is the real thing.
Their specialties make this deli a rare classic gem.
They have traditional options that most other deli do not carry anymore.
Very kind & friendly service.
Will definitely come back for take out.
This place is 5 stars everytime. Whenever I go to Montreal I make sure to try & stop here. My go to meal is the Brisket in onion gravy. I don't eat onions but I love the flavour of this. Smoked meat is also really good here. The fries are awesome & the house salad dressing is really good. Just a great overall place.

When in Montreal, you have to stop for some smoked meat!
Our large group of 10 selected Snowdon as we anticipated it to be much less busy than Schwartz's Deli & we didn't want to wait or stand to eat. We were seated right away & our server was very nice.
What we got:
- Hot brisket sandwich
- Meatballs
- Smoked meat platter (with fries, pickle, & rye)
- Coleslaw
- Sauerkraut
Final Thoughts:
All our sandwiches & platters were delicious! Soft & tender meat on the sandwich & platters, the meatballs were good but a tad sweet. I found the pickles a little too sour, but I really enjoyed the coleslaw. Would recommend checking out this spot next time you're in Montreal & craving a smoked meat sandwich.
Like bumping into an old friend. Good food, lovely atmosphere, & such nice service. We grabbed a quick bite for lunch before an appointment & service was both fast & lovely.
Smoke meat was ok, but not cut right. It was cut too thick. A real deli cutter knows how to cut it. Poutine was made with old fries that were soggy. We were disappointed & drove from Ontario for this.
When talking about smoked meat sandwiches in Montreal, as I researched, people always recommend Snowdon & Schwartz's. I haven't tried the other one, in my experience in Snowdon, the smoked beef sandwich is definitely top notch. I chose a medium fatty meat which was so tender & juicy with moderate smoky flavor, & I regretted having shared with family Lol. Turkey sandwich is recommended as well, different from our usual turkey ham. Meat balls are great too, just not out of my expectation. Kids love the sauce on meat balls. Others are just average, would not recommend the fries or salad.
Perfect for a quick, easy meal. Not only is their smoked meat /deli selection delicious, but they have fabulous big breakfasts at very reasonable prices. Omelette with salami, homefries & toast is delicious . Great pancakes as well. Very big variety. Great takeout counter, & the staff is efficient & very friendly.
On Luke Martin's (Chopsticks Travel channel) recommendation, I decided to give this place a try with my family & wowwwww... it was as good as advertised!!!! Very juicy smoked meat & brisket sandwiches.... the old lady that served us was really friendly too, giving us the background story of the English-speaking Jewish community. The sandwiches were reasonably priced too at $14.50 for sooooooo much meat!! Will definitely go back next time in Montreal!!!
