Les avis présentent Wilensky comme une véritable institution montréalaise : un endroit simple et chargé d’histoire où l’on vient pour un sandwich emblématique et des sodas faits maison, dans une ambiance rétro et conviviale. Le Wilensky Special, composé de salami et de Bologna avec fromage et moutarde sur un petit pain à la semoule, est régulièrement salué pour sa saveur et sa simplicité, tout comme les variantes avec Swiss ou cheddar. Les accompagnements tels que les cornichons à l'aigre et les sodas artisanaux, notamment le cherry cola préparé sous les yeux, font partie intégrante de l’expérience. Le cadre est minimaliste et partage un esprit de quartier, avec un service rapide et chaleureux malgré un espace limité et une décoration qui rappelle les années passées. Plusieurs commentaires soulignent les prix raisonnables et la constance du goût au fil des années, tout en évoquant le caractère unique et nostalgique du lieu, parfois décrit comme un musée vivant et comme un lieu de rencontre communautaire qui résiste à la gentrification et au piège à touristes.
Lightning fast, super friendly service! Gnocci tastes delicious! Where else can you find such a good portion of a tasty meal for 6$? I was so full, I almost couldn't finish it!

Semplicemente delizioso! Un panino che viene fatto così dal 1932. Ne abbiamo ordinato uno a testa, poi subito altri due. Non si fanno modifiche (giustamente). Location storica con quel fascino passato che da sola vale la strada da percorrere per raggiungerlo. Le bibite vengono assemblate al momento, davanti al bancone. Cetrioli sotto aceto buonissimi. Il personale è gentile e sorridente. Si paga solo in contanti o con circuito canadese, che noi, dall'Italia non avevamo. Ma la ragazza al bancone ci ha spiegato dove prelevare e abbiamo risolto in un attimo. Consigliatissimo! Panino perfetto, bibite perfette, atmosfera perfetta!

We are always greeted with kindness & courtesy. It may seem simple, but it's a place where we enjoy the world's most delicious sandwiches. Thank goodness you exist.
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!
