Snowdon Déli assoit sa réputation sur une viande fumée de style montréalais authentique grâce à des méthodes de préparation traditionnelles et un assaisonnement rigoureux. Le menu met l'accent sur une poitrine de bœuf tranchée à la main, épaisse et généreuse, servie sur du pain de seigle avec une moutarde jaune classique. Outre les sandwichs emblématiques, la cuisine propose des spécialités maison telles que la poutine, des frites dorées croustillantes et diverses salades de style charcuterie. L'aménagement intérieur adopte une esthétique fonctionnelle et directe, privilégiant l'efficacité ainsi qu'une concentration totale sur le produit. La clientèle découvre un environnement dynamique où la priorité demeure une qualité constante et des portions copieuses de viandes séchées. Cet établissement maintient un engagement envers des techniques éprouvées qui définissent les traditions culinaires locales. Chaque plat reflète l'approche standard des épiceries fines, garantissant un repas copieux et savoureux.
Snowdon Deli est largement reconnu comme une véritable institution montréalaise, apprécié pour son atmosphère nostalgique de diner classique et son expérience authentique. De nombreux clients louent les sandwichs à la viande fumée pour leur tendreté et leur saveur, les considérant parmi les meilleurs de la ville, tout en privilégiant cet établissement pour son service chaleureux et l'absence des longues files d'attente touristiques observées ailleurs. Bien que le menu propose une variété de classiques appréciés tels que la poitrine de bœuf, la soupe aux boulettes de matza et les latkes, les avis sur la taille des portions et les prix sont partagés. Malgré une clientèle qui valorise généralement l'ambiance conviviale et le personnel dévoué, certains commentaires récents font état d'incohérences concernant la qualité des plats et l'efficacité du service pendant les heures de pointe.
Went for lunch & had the smoked meat plate. Food was delicious & service amazing. Fastest service I have ever seen in a sit down restaurant. I ordered & literally 2 mins later I had my food & drinks!
Great smoked meat. Came here for the 1st time, yummy. Loud atmosphere, very busy at lunch! I will come back!! Luckily found parking on the street, had to walk a bit, but not too far (1 block).

Amazing juicy smoked meat & fries & so much more, old school ambiance & iconic location. The mini danish, party sandwiches & knishes are a must for take out. We have been coming here for years. Was my father's go to for special father/daughter lunches. Now I bring my boys here.
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.
Smoked meat & Lox are very good lunch options. Always love picking up the party sandwiches. Usually fresh & tasty Jewish food with quick service. Also the eggplant 🍆 salad is amazing.
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)!
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.
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!
