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.
Great hot brisket platter. Brisket was juicy & gravy was good. Order first then find a seat. Portions were good size & price is decent. Will definitely be back again.

Great diner with lots of Jewish culinary classics. Service was incredible & the smoked meat sandwich is a contender for best in the city, get it with the spicy mustard & make your best judgement.
Authentic Jewish deli that makes me want to ripen to old age & be a regular here! As recommended by various blogs & reviews, I had the full fat smoked meat plate. Delicious & decadent. The smoked meat was not too salty & melt in your mouth! The brisket was also recommended & it was very good but pales in comparison to the smoked meat. The coleslaw is also refreshing & not mayo based. I would pass on the potato pancake next time, it was heavy & denser than I expected. I would definitely recommend & will be back again. P.S. we did compare this to Schwartz's but not clear cut. I preferred Snowden but husband preferred Schwartz either way, both excellent!
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.
I had an amazing smoked meat plate & tried their latkes, which were simply perfect. The staff was welcoming, & the ambiance was exactly what you'd hope for in a classic deli experience.
What's better? Friendly staff or the food? Both amazing. Walked in at 6:30 & they sat me down even though they closed in 15 min.... My buddies have been going here for almost 2 decades, we will probably be going here for another 4-5 decades? God willing of course.
Had a decent Jewish smoked meat meal here. Service was great. Atmosphere is not much. A real old timer that looks it. Should be in a movie set in the 1950's.

Some say the smoked meat is better than Schwartz's Deli but I would say it's equal. Make sure to ask fatty when ordering the smoke meat sandwich. Pickle is extra $ 3,50 which should come with the sandwich IMO. I really enjoyed the brisket sandwich, it has lots of flavors but the only drawback is that I wish there was more meat.
The smoked meat tastes cheap & rubbery, kind of like what you'd find pre-packaged in a grocery store. The fries were also bad, they were soggy & burnt at the same time. Service was great though. Food is not worth it. There are better options in Montreal
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!
