Yan's Deli feels like an elevated yet comforting Montreal deli, blending classic pastrami and brisket with bold modern twists and a bright, playful space with custom Lego decor. The food earns praise for quality and generous portions, from perfectly brined pickles and house challah to deeply savory brisket, standout pastrami, latkes, and thick, rich milkshakes, with cocktails and celery soda adding a contemporary edge. Flavors come through as honest and well executed, and much of the menu is made in house, highlighting freshness and depth. Service is typically friendly and attentive, helping create a welcoming vibe, though a few visits note occasional hiccups or longer waits and some items can feel pricey for the portion and context. The concept blends comfort food with elevated technique, making brunch, lunch, and dinner viable options, and the overall impression is that Yan's Deli is a place with heart, personality, and staying power, likely to draw locals back despite cost considerations.

The staff is very friendly & the food was simply amazing. We got the Mixed Deli which was more food than the two of us could eat. We were happy to take the rest home!! Definitely try the Papanasi dessert if you leave a little room. There was light music playing & it made for a nice brunch vibe. What a wonderful experience.

Amazing food & amazing ambiance. Each dish was so unique & clearly had thought & effort put into every single aspect. We especially loved the smoked salmon sandwich on the most amazing homemade English muffin.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated, warm & welcoming.
Now we need to come back a few more times to taste the entire menu!

Brent

An elevated brunch & deli, with a homey but modern environment.
The smoked salmon sandwich in the fresh English Muffin, deviled egg, & crispy potato was sooo delicious!!
