Restaurant Wilensky's has been a Montréal tradition since 1932, known for its grilled-meat sandwiches. The food selections are limited to a few sandwiches at very low price: Salami sandwiches, hot-dog sandwiches... This place serves drinks typical of the old-time soda fountain. Talk about tradition
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.
As great spot for a quick & tasty bite. Classic place to stop by when touring Montreal, & even as a local! Don't ask them to adapt the sandwich as it's a winning recipe, they won't change it 😅
Saw a tiktok about this place & thought it would be a nice place to try. For the price you are getting an amazing sandwich, if you go get at least 2 to start. Old time sodas that are well worth the price, get an egg cream or a cherry coke & you will be very happy.
First timing eating at Wilensky's in many years & the food hasn't changed. Would highly recommend the special with swiss, pickles are very good too. Seating is limid & can get very busy at lunch & bit cramped & hectic, but I guess that's part of the charm.
Wilensky est un petit resto super sympa, mignon & bien dans ce jus avec des produits à prix raisonnables. Les sodas sont faits à l'ancienne ; c'est extra !
Endroit mythique & intemporel de Montréal, faut y aller au moins une fois dans sa vie. Service rapide & personnel accueillant . Manger le spécial Wilensky avec fromage suisse. 4.8⭐
We had attempted to get here during our last trip to Montreal, & just wow, it was so worth the wait. What an amazing institution in Montreal. The family working there are just incredibly friendly & accommodating & welcoming. We had no clue what we were doing, & they simply usher you through the process like you are a member of their family. Although we were originally not going to be able to sit a the counter, they encouraged us to use one of the stands or even the chest freezer if necessary (fortunately the stool bar opened up). We each had a classic & the Chocolate Egg Cream to drink...& simply could not have had a better lunch. The price is just stupidly inexpensive, but apparently where they think it should be because it is a constant stream of regulars & newbies like us. So happy we were able to get there this time...loved every bit of the experience; this will definitely be a regular place to visit when coming to Montreal. Incredible - & if you haven't been...you simply must go!

C'est simple mais efficace, leurs sandwichs ne sont pas très gros mais ils sont très bons & finalement c'est suffisant avec un soda maison, c'est parfait pour un en-cas le midi & du coup le prix est raisonnable !La boutique a du charme & l'accueil est sympathique !
