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.
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!
Heard so much about this place , finally grabbed a smoked meat sandwich to go. Looked small , but packed with meat, just the right combination of fat & flavour. I had a busy day in the city & it is July now, next time I will grab some brisket by the pound

Snowden Deli is probably the last authentic deli left in Montreal.
Form old timers to newbies , this is a must visit in montreal for smoke meat sandwich, Or pick ups from their deli counter: amazing white fish salad?, Chopped liver, & a variety of other deli classics. Expect long lines on weekends for breakfast.
This is a must-stop for us, becoming a tradition to eat brunch here before heading back to Ontario. Fatty brisket sandwich is my favourite. I took home bagel, cream cheese & lox. While I was waiting for my dine-in food, I asked the counter to prepare take-home food to feed my family. They had a package waiting for me at exit. Inside, it looks like time has stood still - love the diner feel, & it's popular with the locals.
This is your classic dumpy diner that serves great food. In this case, if you want a great smoked meat sandwich & some potato pancakes, come here. There's real, authentic & delicious. Also, don't be shy about ordering the'fatty' smoked meat - it's still pretty lean but also delicious!
Good sandwich but pricey & totally weird service from the owner. He told us takeout only at 4:15 when they close at 6, but then continued serving other people that were walking in. Clearly a good spot for locals, but do NOT recommend for any tourists.
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!

Went way out of our way to grab a smoked meat sandwich on our last day in Montreal & it was sooo worth it. Not only did they hook us up during breakfast time with a togo sandwich, they told us about the history of the spot & it was probably the warmest welcome we had in all of Canada.
Husband & I were only in Montreal for two days, & most of that time was spent hunting down good food.
Snowdon Deli topped the charts across the board for us on this short weekend break. Great atmosphere, fantastic service, & the food is filling & homey in a way that I think anyone could enjoy.
Not pictured was the chicken soup with matzo ball which we got before the smoked meat sandwich on rye & the smoked meat benny. After that we managed to snag the last bit of coffee cake & a lemon square. Everything was a star in it's own right. It all came out quickly, & was worth every single cent & more.
We haven't tried every food place in the city this weekend, obviously, but I would say that if you're ever around snowdon & you dont come here? Then you're missing out.
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.
Aye tonight at Snowdon deli.
Received the sandwich & the bread fell apart after 2 bites.
The meat was tasteless & was very disappointing.
Very disappointing.
Cool spot, a bit pricey for what they serve, & it can get very busy. Still, the brisket sandwich is great, as is there poutine, smoked meat, & salmon dishes.
Great spot! My favourite spots are now Katz (NYC), Schwartz & now on 3rd Snowdon Deli! Standing with the greats 💪 our favourite was the Smoked meat sandwich medium. The table next to us ordered sausage appetizers & club roll sandwich! We def getting that. The hot brisket was different & delicious! Try it. Corned beef was not our favourite, but everything else was great!we coming again soon.
Average rating. Smoked meat sandwich is ok. No waitress to serve you after 3h00pm. Order your food at the counter go pay in advance & hopefully someone will bring the order to where you are sitting.
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.
