2026 January 3★
An old school deli serving smoked brisket & other deli & non deli options.
SMOKE MEAT sandwich $15.95
The smoked meat was ok. Typical rye bread with mustard.
HOT BRISKET sandwich $15.95
The brisket with the gravy itself isn't bad. Soft. Very tender & easy to eat.
DAILY SOUP (pea soup) $7.00
Noodles in. Was ok.
Overall. Portions are a bit smaller & considering the price. Understand that beef prices have gone up, but seems a bit expensive for the portions given no other sides are included.
Paid Street parking at $3/hr.
Edit.: the girls that serve you are amazing, shout out to Kirsty!!! Came here with my kids to honour my dad, as this was one of our go-to places as a kid. Smoked meat platters & the Club sandwich was delish. The takeout menu is stuff of Jewish childhood dreams, latkes, knishes, party sandwiches & danishes...do yourself a favour & go. You'll love the old school deli vibe, all the wonderful food & make new memories with your kids.
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 food & atmosphere, & most importantly, lots of seating to accommodate our big group. The server seemed a bit frustrated with the indecisiveness of our group, but that's understandable. Glad I came here instead of going to Schwartz's for Montreal smoked meat.
I've had better smoked meat in Montreal but Snowdon Deli's sandwich is always consistant. I've never left disappointed unlike some other legendary delis in town.
