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!

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.

Everything was beyond incredible!! Came for dinner & started off with warm challah, the best butter I've ever had, & pickles. We then had the wedge salad, chicken & fries. The chicken & sauce were some of the best I've ever had! Everything was delicious & I'll definitely be back soon!

Came to Montreal from Ottawa to meet a client & had to give Yan's Deli a shot & wow, what a gem. I had their special soup & sandwich, & it was absolutely fantastic. The quality is top-tier, & you can tell they put real care into what they serve.
Tried their celery soda too… incredible. You have to try it.
This place is definitely becoming a staple for me whenever I'm in Montreal. Can't wait to work my way through more of the menu. Highly recommend. 🙌

Have now been there 4 times & yes it's a bit pricey but OMG the take on old deli standards are fantastic! There's nothing bad on the menu , so you really can't make a mistake on anything. The staff is very helpful
& will guide you on the specials of the day. The music is perfect along with the volume. The only thing I've noticed every time I've been there were the amount of reserved tables that for the hour that I was there never had anyone come in & use them.

Great vibe, nicest staff, delicious food! First time today at this amaaaaaazing deli & definitely 5 stars 🌟
Matthew is the absolute best & the owner & other team members are awesome as well!
Picked up 6 huge challah rolls, a container of chicken salad, & a container of eggplant with mixed veggies. Everything was so fresh & absolutely delicious 😋
They've only been open for several months & I wish them an abundance of success!
Muchas gracias guyz! ❤?

Exceptional first brunch experience at Yans Deli today. The portions were extremely generous for the price & the attention to detail was evident in everything from the food, ambiance, & cheeky Lego flowers on every table, to the way in which our leftovers were packed meticulously at the end of our meal.
A very special thank you to our server Mike, who was incredibly attentive even though it was the Saturday lunch rush.
Congrats to the entire Yans Deli team! They've created something truly special. :)

Yesterday was one of those rainy Mondays, the kind that makes driving from place to place for work feel even heavier. It was also one of those days when I was missing my mom deeply. She passed away this summer, & rainy days like that used to be the ones where she'd call me in the middle of the day to say,'I made matzo ball soup for you, come pick it up on your way home.'
While driving, I thought maybe I'd stop somewhere for soup. Not just because I wanted something warm, but because I was craving that comforting feeling of being cared for, something that reminded me of her. I went Yan's Deli, & although the door was unlocked & I walked in, they were actually closed.
Benji greeted me kindly & apologized, saying they were closed. I told him I had really been hoping for some soup. He paused, looked at me, & said,'I could probably do that for takeout if that's OK.'
So on a day when it was pouring rain, & the restaurant was closed, this man stopped what he was doing, went into the kitchen, & made me soup.
While I waited, I held back tears because his kindness & generosity were exactly what I needed in that moment. It felt like a small act of love from a stranger, & somehow, a little piece of my mom's warmth shining through.
When he handed me the bag & said,'It really is soup weather,' I smiled & thanked him. Sitting in my car, eating what was probably the best soup I've had in a long time, I cried missing my mom, but so grateful for the compassion of someone who didn't even know me.
It might sound cliché to say that this place & this soup will hold a special place in my heart, but they truly will.
Thank you, Benji, for reminding me that kindness still exists in the simplest moments. I can't wait to come back.

Visited Yan's Deli today & had their chef's special menu as suggested by our very friendly & attentive server Jenni.
The burger was amazing. Served in challah bun with an egg on top of the patty was one of the best I've had in Montreal.
The cheesy tomato soup hit the spot. It was hot, fresh, right amount of cheese on top & hearty. Finished my meal with a decadent, fluffy blueberry French toast. Everything was excellent. The space felt warm & welcoming. A great spot for elevated comfort food in Montreal. Highly recommended.
Pros: Delicious & well priced food paired with great service. Parking available.
Cons: Navigating traffic in Decari

Yans Deli is a must dining experience! Gourmet, modern Jewish Deli. Everything about the food was terrific, & the staff were extremely pleasant. The atmosphere is causal & full of good energy. I only wish I could have eaten more food!
I started with the Yaourt Grec & Miel - Greek Yogurt & Honey. It was topped with roasted mixed nuts, white kiwi, giant gourmet grapes, & plums. I felt a bit silly ordering the yogurt, since I eat Greek Yogurt almost daily at home anyway & felt I should explore other options that sound so very appetizing. However, I heard it was fantastic so I had to try it. It turned out to be phenomenal. A yogurt to end all yogurts ;-). It was by far the smoothest, creamiest Greek yogurt with just that right amount of Greek yogurt tang. The drizzled honey along with the fruits & nuts set it over the edge. It was decadent & went well with both the espresso & cappuccino (complements to the barista). I highly encourage both to accompany these wonderful flavors!!
Next I had the Kartoffelpuffer - Large Potato Latka with Apple Sauce & Quark Cheese. Another exceptional choice. The Latka was perfectly crisp on the outer edges, holding together the finest, tiniest shreds of potato. Not sure how they do it but it looks so fluffy & pretty…like the Greek pastry Kataifi. These Latkas lack that typical excess moisture you might get when making them at home. These were nice & thick, yet not dry at all & full of flavor! The Apple Sauce was so pure & the Quark Cheese like silk. A must try, even as an appetizer to share. Oh did I mention it was finished with a perfect amount of Fleur de Sel to make your tastebuds pop!
It's a good thing I went in hungry because the word on the street is that the Pastrami here is excellent. I agree. It's been a while since I've been to the famous Katz Deli but I certainly do not recall it being as excellent as the Pastrami experience here at Yans. The marbling of the meat is robust & gives it so much flavor that mixes perfectly well with the pepper & spices. After tasting the meat solo to appreciate the amazing flavors, I could not resist loading it onto their house rye bread slathered with their special spiced mustard. Absolutely perfect! Plus, I complemented it with a signature Yans Deli Celery Soda. WOW what a treat. Super Refreshing!
I had to top off my special meal with the Yans Deli signature Black & White Cookie. With the black icing made to be vanilla flavor, the white icing was chocolate. It was a decadent surprise to the flavor pallet, covering a very large, very soft & very fresh buttery cookie. It was like a birthday cake I've never had! Very indulgent!
I look forward to returning to dine at Yans, as there is so much more on the menu to explore.

What a delightful experience! A cozy yet bright & charming place. My wife & I enjoyed a few delicious bites to remember, complemented by an amazing & welcoming team we'll be happy to return to. Thank you for the personal touch & for making our first visit so memorable.

Yan's Deli is excellent! The food is fresh, well-prepared, & full of flavour. It's a great spot, definitely worth a visit & menu to explore.
Paolo
While the food may be good, the prices are out of this world for a self-proclaimed old school inspired'deli'.
A BLT & an espresso will run you $40 with tax & tip.
Capitalizing on nostalgia I guess.
Jase
Yann's deli is incredible. The food is comforting (& quality) staples, we had the lox, pastrami, massive latkes & more… everything amazing. Ambiance was friendly, airy & comfortable.
I wish we would have tried the sandwiches but will definitely be back
Ben
Insane spread. Everything I have had at Yans was delicious & elevated. Give it a try & I promise you will want to go back!!
