Overall, Solomos is widely praised for its smoked salmon and bagels, with fresh, high quality ingredients and a range of products that many reviewers call among the best in Montreal. Customers describe the smoked salmon as outstanding and melt in your mouth, and the bagels as perfectly soft, making it a reliable choice for a quick flavorful bite. There are frequent compliments about the variety and freshness of the smoked salmon and related items like taramosolata and cream cheese with green onions. Several reviews highlight warm, attentive service from the team, while others note that friendliness can be inconsistent and service can feel brisk when asking questions. A few critiques mention slicing inconsistencies with the salmon and one review reports food poisoning from a salmon salad. Overall the consensus points to a standout smoked salmon experience and strong bagels, with a caveat that service and prep quality can vary.
Excellent experience at Solomos Queen Mary. Andy & his colleague were genuinely welcoming, friendly, & attentive from the moment I arrived. I ordered the smoked salmon with capers, & it was outstanding. Fresh, perfectly prepared, & easily some of the best smoked salmon you can find anywhere. The warmth & professionalism of the team made the visit even better. Wishing Andy & the entire team a Happy New Year & continued success. Anyone considering this place can expect exceptional products & truly great service!
This is the best salmon in all of Montreal!! But please 🙏🏻 they need to learn how to slice it, I've traveled all over Europe... & I've never seen anything like it, A disaster ! One small slice, then a tiny one, then a huge one, & one round, then one square, showed it to a chef & he was laughing his head off... How can you butcher such a beautiful product like that ?

Listen, the staff could be friendlier (we were the only ones there, & visiting for the first time - so we had some questions & were looking for some recommendations which the man helping us was a bit short about when answering lol), but they offer one of the best smoked salmon bagels I have ever had. Truly delicious, Will be thinking of it for months to come…
Never been disappointed with Solomos. Best & freshest salmon you'll ever have in town. Melts in your mouth & the taste is unmatched. 10/10 would recommend 😋
Went for the first time today after searching for a quick lunch. AMAZING smoked salmon sandwiches. We also picked up a taramosolata, & it is by far the best best I've had in the city. Highly suggest checking this place out & it will definitely become a regular spot for us!
Solomos, my favorite place !!!
They have the best smoked salmon in Montreal, the best bagel, is soft, tasty! 👌🏻it's perfect, the ingredients always fresh!!
Costumer service amazing, all the guys every single time whit an smile 😊
They have a lot of products, oils, jams, chips, everything whit the quality!!
If you are in Montreal & you want to try the best smoked sandwich that's the place 🐟🥯
This place has hands down the best smoked salmon & my style bagels in town-absolutely fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared. It's my go-to spot for an unbeatable breakfast.
However, the service doesn't quite match the quality of the food. The staff is efficient, but they lack warmth & friendliness. A smile or a little more enthusiasm would go a long way in enhancing the experience.
If you're here for the food, you won't be disappointed. Just don't expect much in terms of a warm welcome!
Delicious food, but the service could use a smile!

Solomos has a beautiful variety of smoked salmon. They sell high end products that are always fresh & tasty. I particularly love their feta cheese. They are very efficient at serving their customers but they are very unfriendly. A little smile or a nice exchange of words would go a long way.

Amazing place. Fast service. I recommend the cheese cream & the cream cheese with green oignons! The smoked salmon is the best quality ever! I will go back 100%.
Absolute best smoked salmon I had in Montreal. Melts in your mouth & perfectly smoked (which for me means not too smoked), really let's the salmon shine. Will definitely come back.
