Review Summary

Reviewers describe Yans Deli as a warm, bright, and welcoming spot with a cozy vibe and attentive service that helps create a homey yet elevated dining experience. The menu shines with pastrami, latkes, brisket and other deli staples, plus comforting soups, smoked salmon, and creative specials, with bread and challah earning frequent praise. Brunch and lunch are highlighted for generous portions and standout items like the latke sandwiches, eggs, and specialty breads, along with a beloved celery soda and a decadent dessert. The atmosphere, decor, and friendly team contribute to a feel like a neighborhood favorite that many visitors plan to return to again and again. On a few visits, there were hiccups such as overcooked meat or mixed up orders, but these moments are rare and do not overshadow the overall impression of quality, warmth, and value that makes Yans Deli a standout in Montreal.

Yans Deli is consistently excellent. Chef Benji, formerly head chef at Joe Beef, brings a creative but approachable menu that works just as well for brunch, lunch, or dinner. There's a good range of options across price points, & the space suits everything from family meals to business lunches or dates. Easily one of the better spots around.

I think the word Deli fooled me. This is much much more. From soup to dessert every bite was an explosion of flavors. I need to go back again & probably again to make sure that I was right the first time & chose other things on the menu! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My favourite Pastrami in town. I ordered takeout from here a few times before I checked out the menu online & decided that it would be a great place to sit at a table with a handful of friends. Family style or individual meals, the portions are generous & the flavours are phenomenal. Coffees, cocktails, & soft drinks also phenomenal. Open space with plenty of seating but busy enough to recommend reserving a table in advance. Kid & senior-friendly. Free parking on the street or in the lot over to the side.

I was there today & wanted to tell Yan myself, but he was busy with other patrons & it was close to closing time, so I'll share this here.

I've been here about half a dozen times, & beyond the food being excellent (I haven't tried everything yet, but the chicken soup is to die for, a true umami bomb, & the celeri soda… who knew?), the staff is absolutely stellar.

Every single visit, they've been efficient, engaged, & genuinely friendly with every table & customer I could observe, regardless of age, gender, or what was ordered. In any dining establishment, that level of consistency is pure gold.

I truly hope that in these difficult times for the food industry, Yan's vision results in success equal to the quality of the product being offered. This place deserves to be a mainstay on the Montreal culinary scene.

An absolute amazing experience! From the friendly greeting, to the comfortable atmosphere, delicious food, everything was perfect. Even the music was great. This is better than any deli I've been to. For dinner, we tried a variety of dishes, including soup, steak, chicken & pastrami. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to return!

From best to average.

We first visited just a few days after the opening & it was sensational. The pastrami was juicy, the bread warm, soft, & thick. Hands down the best pastrami sandwich we've ever had. It melted in our mouth. The party sandwich was just as impressive.

We returned today &, unfortunately, everything was off. The meat was overcooked & dry, the breads weren't warm & moist enough, & the overall flavour was lacking. A disappointment compared to our first visit.

Had an amazing brunch. Would highly recommend their 3 course tasting menu but be warned there will be lots of leftovers for dinner.

Came last night for dinner for a friend's birthday & had an incredible experience! From the relaxed & warm atmosphere, to the attentive & caring staff, & the food being absolutely fantastic - every dish was full of flavour. I would recommend this restaurant time & time again. By far my favourite establishment in Montreal! The Yan's team is so accommodating & truly cares about providing a 10/10 experience for every guest. Can't wait to go back!

Great food , Benji served up an authentic & delicious Jewish style brunch. The latke was HUGE , eggs & salami delicious , salmon plate decadent. Service was friendly. I very much enjoyed the dish-ware too.

I also went there for dinner service.
-We ordered the chopped liver to start. It was a pate style chopped liver. It came with pickles , challah roles & a delicious everything bagel seasoned compound butter. Yum.
-for main I had the chicken noodle soup. Awesome ! Top tier matzo ball & kreplach (don't tell bubby)
-we ordered the steak frites which consisted of a specially prepared brisket & fries in a decadent mushroom sauce. Wonderful! & great sauces to go with the fries.
-we ordered the special of the day which was a latke sandwich of steak tartare , topped with a devilled egg & caviar??? Delicious innovative haute cuisine that we've never tasted before & loved.
-throw in the home made celery soda to drink & the very friendly & attentive service & you're in for a great experience.

It's a deli except everything is different, more creative & better. Think the best challah you have had, the biggest richest bowl of chicken soup & potato latkes with beef tartare & caviar. Insanely delicious.
