Good, simple food at a good price in an extraordinary setting; what's not to love?

The special sandwich with cheese & pickles with a cherry soda. Incredible.

I highly recommend this spot for a perfectly satisfying lunch, & a trip back in time as you sit at the counter & take it all in.

This sandwich shop has been here since 1932, truly an iconic Montreal food spot. I got the Wilensky Special which is an all-beef salami & bologna sandwich with Swiss cheese. It was simple & delicious. I love how they still do the coco cola from scratch which is a craft that's hardly seen anymore except in old diners.

Authentic 1930s diner.
Don't expect gourmet food, it isn't that sort of place.
Order the Special, I had it with cheddar cheese & loved it.
All the staff very friendly.

The best breakfast sandwich ever in Montreal' the special with Swiss or Cheddar cheese' with a sour pickle & the homemade cherry cola. An experience like nothing else ✨?.

Nestled in the mile-end on the corner of rue Clark & Fairmount West, Wilensky's Light Lunch has been serving grilled sandwiches since it opened in 1932.

As I walked in, I could tell from the friendly banter between the staff & the regulars sitting at the bar that Wilensky's is all about fostering community through food.

I ordered the Wilensky's special, a grilled salami & bologna sandwich with mustard & your choice of cheese (i opted for swiss) served on a kaiser roll. Accompanied by a small bag of house pickles, this really does make for the perfect light lunch.

The sandwich was really good. Perfect for a small & light lunch as promised!
Reasonably priced at 5.19$ for a sandwich with cheese.

Lovely historic deli! I visited Wilensky's as part of a food tour, & it was a very fun peek into Montreal's culinary history. It makes a very cheap, quick lunch if you're in the area, & I appreciate that the deli still feels like a 1920s movie set. The staff is super friendly & feels extremely passionately about their mustard -- so don't try to ask for a sandwich without it -- & it feels like a lovely neighborhood joint. They specialize in the Wilensky special, which includes grilled bologna, salami, cheese, & mustard on a Kaiser roll, which my fellow food tour guests seemed to really enjoy. Their vegetarian alternative had egg salad & mustard on a Kaiser roll, which was tasty, but honestly not my favorite part of the tour; the bread was a little bit too dry, & it felt rather one-note with just the egg salad. Even so, it was a really fun visit, & I'm sure it's better for folks who eat meat.

No trip to Montreal's complete for me without a Wilensky's with Swiss cheese & extra mustard! Absolutely delicious little snack with a proprietary corn meal dusted bun that I have never seen anywhere else makes this the perfect little treat. A MUST eat in Mile End!

Try the hot dogs, onion top, Swiss cheese, with a pickle & a cherry cola. It's heaven!
