Montreal institution. As a person who can't eat pork, it's just nice to go in & be able to order everything. Got the Wilensky special & a hot dog with cheddar on an onion bun. Perfection.View more

You can't walk past this place twice without stopping in for a soda & then let the nice people behind the counter convince you that you need to order a sandwich & a pickle. Very simple place with stools & standing room. Super friendly staff. Delicious sandwich & very tasty beverages.View more

Stopped by here as part of a food tour. We each got a sandwich as part of the tour with either Swiss or cheddar cheese. The sandwiches were phenomenal, from the bread to the meat. Must stop for a quick bite to eat.View more

I learned about this place after watching No Reservations. Great sandwich. Very cool to see them make cola the old fashioned way. It's a quick 10 minute stop.View more

Je n'avais jamais visité cette institution montréalaise & c'est hier que j'ai fait le saut. Partie de la Rive-Sud pour me rendre à cette endroit. J'ai pris une chance car nous connaissons tous le bordel qu'est la ville pour les automobilistes. Première impression en entrant, c'est que tu retournes dans le temps. Quelques places assises seulement. La personne qui a pris ma commande était super gentille. J'ai pris un spécial avec fromage suisse & un crème soda. 7$. Probablement la seule place de nos jours avec un prix raisonnable. Le sandwich était vraiment bon. Si je restait dans ce quartier, je serais client régulier.View more

One of the classic Mile End institutions- a real gem on Fairmount street. The service is always friendly & accommodating, the restaurant is adorable- a total throwback in time. "Light lunch" is definetely the key words here though- classic cold cut sandwich- no substitutions!! But do expect to be hungry within an hour especially if you are touring this gorgeous neighborhood. Will always come back for a quick bite, thank you guys!View more

L'un des restaurants incontournables à Montréal. Ne vous attendez pas à ce que vos papilles soient bouleversées mais plutôt à être amplement satisfait, à goûter un morceau d'histoire de la cuisine juive à Montréal. En plus de quoi le service est très rapide, l'ambiance est d'époque & les prix sont imbattables. Évidemment je conseille le Special Wilensky, avec supplément pickles. A faire si vous passer par le Mile End.View more

The vibe is very unique & so is the food. We got the egg sandwich, meat sandwich & a chocolate milkshake. They were quite tasty for the price point! The staff were very friendly.View more

If you're looking for a cheap meal, I guess this is an ok place to stop. For about $5 you can get a sandwich. If I were to describe the sandwich I would say it tastes like a hot dog.View more

it's been 7 years I go there once or twice a month & noticed never left a comment, it is a classic, it is good, it is genuine, every bite is a comforting hmmmmmm in itself, every scent feels like home, every voice you here in that restaurant is reminiscing of the simpler time. I personally take 2 specials + pickles + cherry soda & take 30 minutes to enjoy every bit of it. taking time to take time is very important.View more
