Hidden gem in Montreal. The steaks were honestly some of the best we've had - perfectly cooked, flavorful, & served sizzling hot. The pastrami was fresh & packed with flavor, & you can tell everything is made with real care & attention.
The atmosphere is casual & welcoming, but the food feels upscale without being pretentious. Service was friendly, attentive, & made us feel right at home.
If you're looking for a spot that combines authentic deli comfort food with incredible steakhouse quality, Yans Deli is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back.
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.

Kept hearing people talk about Yans Deli & finally decided to try it for dinner. Honestly, everything was ridiculously good. The steak was juicy & full of flavor, the burger tasted homemade in the best way possible, & even the fries stood out.
The place itself isn't trying too hard - it's just good food done properly. You can tell there's real effort behind the menu & the quality of the ingredients. Service was super warm & welcoming too.
Definitely one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit. Looking forward to trying brunch next time!
Had an amazing brunch experience at Yan's Deli! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, & welcoming. The restaurant has such a great vibe - perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch with friends or family.
The food was honestly outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh & flavorful, & you can tell that a lot of care goes into each dish. The portions were generous, beautifully presented, & absolutely delicious. The coffee & drinks were also excellent & paired perfectly with the meal.
What really made the experience stand out was the service. The staff were so kind, attentive, & friendly throughout the entire visit. Even though the place was busy, everything came out quickly & the team made us feel very well taken care of.
We loved it, my parents loved it, my kids loved it! That's a rare gem of a restaurant. I wish my grandparents were still around, because we'd come here every weekend, & they'd love it too. Everything was beyond expectation, & you could feel the craft & attention to detail behind each dish. Everything was fresh & full of flavours…equally nostalgic & modern. Can't recommend Yans more.
We had a delicious dinner & the staff were so friendly. Food was so good - we couldn't eat it all so we took some home. We were blown away by how good it was & will definitely be going back!
Had the most amazing service! The atmosphere is amazing especially for a hockey game! The food was unreal & drinks were amazing! I would 100 percent recommend:)
Yans Deli is an absolute hidden gem. The food was fresh, delicious, & clearly made with care. Everything tasted authentic & well seasoned, with generous portions & great quality ingredients. The staff was welcoming, polite, & provided excellent service from the moment I walked in. The restaurant was clean, organized, & had a comfortable atmosphere that made the experience even better. It's hard to find a place this consistent in both food & customer service. I'll definitely be returning & highly recommend Yans Deli to anyone looking for a satisfying meal.

OMG, the pastrami, a house specialty, is to die for. It literally melts in your mouth. It is the best I have ever had. From Ottawa, I was able to bring a significant vacuum sealed amount back home to enjoy for the next few days. Only a few minutes away from the new Royalmount mall & close to Decary, it's the perfect place to stop before hitting the highway home or after shopping at the mall. Another bonus, the owner is a former chef from the famous Joe Beef restaurant.
We had the pleasure of trying the catering from Yan's. It was all very delicious. High praise for the club sandwich & the latkes. Everything tasted very fresh, salad, salmon, smoked meat, sausage, deli sandwiches, the portions & prices were excellent. I would certainly recommend it for the catering & will have to try a meal there soon.
We love Yana. Best food, great quality & care goes into each dish!! Their BLT is the best I've tasted! & how sweet is it that all meals are served on Ben's ( the owner) grandmother's dishes! Definitely recommend trying out Yans. You won't be disappointed!!

This deli is not just any ordinary deli. Therefore if you're looking for something unique this is the place for you.The Mac & Cheese is just amazing, their Smoke Meat is one of a kind. You will just want to keep on coming back
best food. even items i didn't think id like I LOVED!!! craziest part is the food is just as delicious when you do takeout or delivery which is super hard to find. amazing overall
Came for the pastrami, & was not disappointed. The meat was divine, perfectly tender & flavourful. Complemented nicely w a mustard that took nothing away from the meat. Truly masterful. Can't wait to come back & try other offerings. Now THIS is what a deli is all about. GREAT JOB
Went for lunch with my bestie. Had the best smoked salmon & latke I've had in a long time. Super friendly & very attentive service. Amazing experience. Will be back again & again
