Yans Deli s'affirme comme une destination de choix pour une cuisine juive authentique de type deli, proposant une carte riche et ancrée dans la tradition. Les clients peuvent s'attendre à une gamme complète de sandwichs classiques, généreusement garnis de viandes tranchées à la main comme le corned-beef et le pastrami, accompagnés de garnitures copieuses telles que la salade de chou crémeuse et les cornichons à l'aneth. L'établissement est réputé pour ses viandes fumées signatures, préparées avec un soin méticuleux, et son éventail de soupes traditionnelles, dont la soupe aux boulettes de matza, qui offrent des saveurs réconfortantes et familières. Le pain de seigle fraîchement cuit et les desserts exquis, comme le cheesecake, complètent cette expérience de deli par excellence, garantissant que chaque visite est une immersion savoureuse dans des classiques culinaires appréciés.
Yans Deli s'est rapidement imposé comme une destination incontournable à Montréal, reconnu pour sa vision moderne et raffinée de la cuisine réconfortante des épiceries fines traditionnelles. Les clients louent régulièrement la qualité exceptionnelle des viandes fumées maison, notamment le pastrami et la poitrine de bœuf, ainsi que des incontournables comme la soupe au poulet, les latkes et le saumon fumé frais. L'ambiance est systématiquement décrite comme chaleureuse, accueillante et élégante, faisant de cet établissement un lieu polyvalent pour les rendez-vous, les brunchs en famille ou les déjeuners d'affaires. Bien que la grande majorité des convives souligne la gentillesse et l'attention du personnel, quelques visiteurs ont rapporté des incohérences concernant la rapidité du service ou la préparation des plats. Dans l'ensemble, l'endroit est largement considéré comme un véritable joyau culinaire qui équilibre la nostalgie des classiques avec des ingrédients innovants et de grande qualité, ce qui lui vaut une clientèle fidèle et de nombreuses recommandations.
We went there on a Saturday morning for Brunch.
They did not have much options on the menu already & we were told that they are out of Salmon & pastrami which basically are the 2 main dishes on their menu. We end up ordering 2 sandwiches with salads on the side. The lettuces in the salad looked old; it changed color to brownish color. & they charged a menu that we never ordered which they end up refunding. I am not sure why their rate is so high.
Every dish we ordered was a standout. The coffees were excellent, the service warm & genuinely friendly, & the whole place had an inviting family?brunch vibe. The Nova salmon plate was unbelievably good, & the brisket & pastrami sandwiches were on another level. The omelette of the day-mushroom & Swiss-was perfectly done. Every plate felt thoughtfully crafted, with flavors & presentation that were truly elevated. Everything is smoked & cured in?house, & you can taste the freshness in every bite.
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.
Le tout était PARFAIT ! Apartir de l'accueil jusqu'au désert, tout était délicieux. Brunch avec mon époux & sortie qui se répète bientôt c'est certain !!
Brunch on Sunday. Was a wonderful experience. I had the Shakshuka. It was delicious!!! The party sandwiches were next level of amazing. Device was great. Can't wait to go back!!
Yans Deli es excelente a cualquier hora del día.
El brunch es generoso y lleno de sabor, el almuerzo es ideal tanto para una comida relajada como de trabajo, y la cena es siempre de gran calidad. La comida es excelente, el servicio es atento y cálido, y la experiencia es impecable en cada visita. Muy recomendado.
Yans Deli is great. Whether you go for brunch or dinner, there's a good mix of options, including healthier stuff if that's what you're looking for. The green salad & the wedge salad are really good, & they also have different fish like trout - everything is consistently delicious. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.
We felt very comfortable walking into the Deli & realizing that what we were smelling wasn't a marketing strategy. It's brisket. It's pastrami. It's onions softening on a flat top somewhere behind the counter. It's the honest, homey aroma of a deli that understands exactly what it is.
This isn't a place trying to manufacture nostalgia with Edison bulbs & ironic menu fonts. The nostalgia here is incidental. Accidental, even. It comes from real food made by real people, served without theatrics. All the good things a deli should have? They have them. Pastrami that respects your appetite. Beef bacon that doesn't apologize for itself. & the pickles. Perfectly brined, crunchy, & just sour enough to make you sit up straighter.
Behind the counter, the vibe isn't some corporate'brand story.' It's plastered across the walls in art, photos, random decorations, & a delightful custom Lego set of the building itself. We loved that detail! It tells you everything: they care, but they're also having fun.
About the food.
🥪 The tuna melt. Generous tuna salad, not gloopy, layered thick between golden, griddled bread that had that perfect crunch.
🍔 The onion brisket sandwich. Deeply savory, tender brisket piled high, carrying that slow-cooked richness. It was bold & hearty.
🥤& then, the milkshakes.'Powerful' feels like the right word. These are not polite, airy shakes. They are THICK. The Biscoff one was bliss in a cup. The baby Guinness frappé-absolutely delicious-balanced sweetness & depth.
The menu doesn't stop there. Brunch items? Check. Specials? Of course. Alcoholic drinks menu? Yes, because sometimes your pastrami wants a proper pairing. Snacks, things to go, comfort food staples-they have it all.
A deli that stretches into modern territory without losing its roots.
& here's the part where I speak plainly: I pay for my meals. No comps, no influencer hush money. Just me, my wallet, & my honest opinion. We absolutely loved everything we had here. Truly.
But.
My meal-tuna melt, one milkshake, & three cows in a blanket-came out to $40 plus tax & tip, totaling $53. That's not cheap. The food was very, very good. But there's a point where the price-to-quality ratio starts to wobble. At a certain number, it doesn't matter how delicious the brisket is or how perfectly the pickles snap. It just feels like a lot.
Would we go back? Yes.
Would we go back casually, on a whim, without checking our bank balance first? Maybe not.
This is a excellent place. It's heartfelt. It's delicious. It's doing a lot right. But like their milkshakes, it packs a financial punch. & sometimes, no matter how good the food is, the bill has the final word.
