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.
What an iconic staple of Montreal history, it is like a walk back in time with it's older decor & family based atmosphere. The food is quite affordable but very delicious, we got the smoke meat sandwiches with their fries. Our server was very funny, friendly & provided great recommendations to us first timers. It is very different from Schwartz but just as delicious in a different manner, their smoke meat is very tender & juicy! Worth a visit & the servers are worth tipping ✨?
Born & raised in Montreal & I have driven by Snowdon Deli probably 1000 times yet never tried this historic restaurant. Let me tell you families!!! RUN TO THIS PLACE!!! What a warm welcome I received from the ENTIRE staff as I walked in. Greeted which smiles & hellos from left, right & far in back. A BIG shout out to Heart; your energy & hospitality is rare to find these days! That smoke meat sandwich was melt in your mouth tender & delicious! I find a lot of smoke meat restaurants in Mtl have lost the soul that made Montreal one of the smoke meat capitals of the world but Snowdon deli has EVERYTHING on point!
From the hostess, to the waitresses, to the folks behind the counter & the brotha slicing & dicing that iconic smoked meat sandwich in back!!! THANK YOU ALL !!!

Iconic Deli that has been around for decades! I had it when I was a little kid (that's like …. A long time ago!😉) & decided to go back in time to try their famous smoked meat & corn beef! I ordered a smoked meat sandwich (medium fat) & a corn beef platter ( corn beef, fries & pickles) at the take out counter. The staff was friendly & service was quick. They even gave me a few complimentary pastries.
The sandwich was really moist & melt in your mouth. A very good old fashioned smoked meat sandwich. Not as smoky flavour as other establishments but very delicious. The corn beef was just as I remembered. Boiled instead of smoked & the texture is a little more firm.
Deli seats about 50, service is friendly & knowledgeable. Good variety on the menu. 6am-6pm, Parking may be a challenge as only metered parking.
Reasonably priced. Worth the visit!
Not the biggest fan of this place. A deli that closes at 6pm... I don't know, it's weird. The food is ok. Some will say it is the best smoked meat, but I disagree.

If you are looking for an authentic smoked meat experience this is the place to go. There may be more famous places, but Snowdon Deli is not to be missed!
ubereated a smoked meat sandwich (medium) & a few other things that made the fries free. The sandwich was smaller & more expensive than lester's say, & I did not see any fat. The free fries were not included & uber will not reimburse a free item. So, they advertise free fries after $50, but whether they include them or not, there are no consequences (except my disappointment)
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.
