Snowdon Déli

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.

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.

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.

All I can say is it was overrated. The service was good & I love the old school feel of the place but the smoked meat was bland, the latkes were okay, & the hot brisket was like lunch meat quality & flavorless. Katz in New York is about 100x better than this place & that was disappointing given the reputation.

When I visit Montreal, I try to visit a new smoked meat destination, & on my most recent stayover, I went to Snowdon Deli for lunch. I got the smoked meat sandwich platter which comes with fries & pickles. The smoked meat was flavorful, tender, & nicely seasoned. I also appreciated the friendly staff & the old school diner atmosphere. The price for my meal did seem fairly high, compared to similar joints in the city.

Snowden Deli is a great alternative to some of the flashier names in the delicatessen game. It's not in a trendy area & it's got an inauspicious exterior, but the inside looks unchanged since the late eighties in a good way. The smoked meat was amazing. We had it medium & it was rich, sweet, & not too greasy or heavy. The platter w/fries & pickles is absolutely massive, it's probably better suited to share than to eat alone. The place is very hectic & full at mealtimes & the service can be a bit hard to flag down, though the food comes out quickly once ordered. We saw plenty of regulars & folks really enjoying their meals. Strong recommend!

Hard to believe that in all my years in Montreal I was going here for the first time. This is a typical deli, with booths & a deli counter. We shared a smoke meat sandwich & some sides & it was very good. The prices were great also, still a place where you can have a solid lunch for around $20.

Best smoke meat in Montreal with the best old school deli atmosphere. Breakfast & lunch are top notch. Catering & to-go counter as well. No one does it better.

Literally One (1) of the Best Deli's in North America; holding to the traditions of the brothers who founded it. Smoked Meat unlike what you can find in any other cities spawned the term "Montreal Smoked Meat". Spicier than Pastrami & offered in three (3) different cuts with Lean & Regular most popular. Traditional Sides are offered & for those diners who wish to partake of non-meat products, their assorted salad offerings are served on a platter & are enough for two to share. Never a disappointment & arrive early for lunch to avoid a wait... or frequent their take-out counter than is also always busy.

I've been going here since I was a teenager with my Dad. It's one of our favourite lunch spots for smoke meat. They are honestly all so friendly here & the food is unbeatable. We leave satisfied every time.
