Review Summary

Wilensky's is widely described as a Montreal institution where simple comfort food and a retro soda fountain create a timeless neighborhood vibe; the star is the Wilensky special, a grilled bologna and salami sandwich with mustard and cheese on a Kaiser roll, often paired with house cherry cola and pickles, all offered at affordable prices with fast, friendly service; reviewers emphasize the place's history, the wall of old photos, and the sense of community that makes it feel like a small town deli in the heart of the city, drawing both locals and visitors who return for the experience as much as the food.

What more can I say about this place that has not already been said. Truly an iconic spot in Montréal for a quick bite.

Un petit restaurant qui vaut le détour. Le personnel est très sympathique. Service rapide. Ouvert depuis 1932.....on se retrouve dans le temps. Le sandwich, un classique! Simple & délicieux! On a accompagné des pickles sur & demi-sur! Leurs boissons gazeuses sont faites a l'ancienne avec plusieurs choix de sirop! Je recommande!

Food is delishhhhh! So cheap for the quality! Just weirded out by the people working there & how they speak to customers. I would say something like missing some "savoir-vivre". Everything else was amazing.

Ca faisait un moment que je voulais aller a cet institution. J'ai bien aimer le sandwich, mais ce n'était rien d'extraordinaire, ca reste un sandwich a la bologne & au salami. Je recommande quand même d'aller y goûter, mais personnellement je ne referai pas de grand détour pour y retourner.

Speedy service, great people & such a perfect sandwich! Could've eaten like 5 of them in a sitting. Also love the old style carbonation machine for drinks.

Un incontournable a MTL mais la relève va devoir rafraîchir le menu quelque peu.

Seems like a nice place. Very friendly....that is until I pulled out my Bank Of America credit/debit card. Now I'm from outer space? In 2023?
