the turf n turf is every carnivores paradise: a mountain of tender, juicy, flavourful brisket & pastrami sandwiched between two fluffy, slightly toasted buns. where most sandwiches would've suffered from the ridiculous meatiness of the dish, the challah bread did an AMAZING job of containing it. it was thick & bready enough so that it doesn't get soggy & the meat didn't fall out, & the sweetness of the challah balanced the heavy, smoky flavours. the most special part was surprisingly not the melting, dripping meats, but the creamy, alfredo-like emulsions of swiss cheese & sauce smothered on top.

Maybe it's just Uber Eats pricing but everything was overpriced, even before the delivery fees. I really wanted to try this place since it was getting hyped & it was local business & cuisine, but too far to get to in person.

Unfortunately everything was underwhelming. The pastrami sandwich & the big cheeseburger were typical portion & average flavours for a major markup. The beef bacon side was alright but a small portion.

Saw a review on ig that the team at Yans Deli had a smoker out back cooking up some meat ??… so I work not too far so you guessed it… Ya boy Jay had to try!! When I tell you tender, succulent, juicy, packed with flavour, I mean… The meat is TENDER, SUCCULENT, JUICY & DAMMIT !!! PACKED WITH FLAVOUR!!! Ya grandmother doesn't even need to have her teeth in her head to bite into that pistrammi sandwich. Really, really good & will definitely be back to try the rest of your menu!

Hit em' up & tell em'
Jay sent ya!

Yans Deli is one of those places where you can taste the history & heritage in every bite. The menu stays true to classic deli traditions while bringing bold, memorable flavours to the table. Everything we tried was packed with character & clearly made with care.

My recommendation: come with a friend, share the chicken soup & a few party sandwiches to start, then split a main. It's the perfect way to experience a bit of everything & appreciate what makes this place special.

The value is great, & it's even better during the World Cup, when they're offering a burger, fries, & a beer or soft drink for $25 while the games are on.

A true Montreal institution that proves great traditions never go out of style. Highly recommended. 🍽?⭐

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.

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

Beautiful, minimalist space with food that is extraordinary. I had the chicken soup (which was the best I've ever eaten), & simply had to bring one home. Also had the pastrami omelette - don't let the simple name fool you -this was an elevated, delicious egg frittata; juicy & bursting with flavour. Can't wait to come back to try so many other tempting dishes...

Everything about this place is excellent. The food is top notch with extremely high quality ingredients & flavour. Everything is made in house & you can truly taste the difference. The service is great, everyone is so nice. Will be back soon

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.

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.
