Les critiques s'accordent à décrire Yans Deli comme une adresse moderne et chaleureuse où la nourriture est exceptionnelle: pastrami et brisket remarquables, latkes croustillants, soupes riches et plats faits maison, servis dans une ambiance conviviale et un cadre soigné. Le service est généralement décrit comme attentif et sympathique, et la carte, qui va du brunch aux plats à emporter en passant par des boissons maison, offre une grande variété pour toutes les occasions. Si les prix peuvent sembler élevés et certains repas ont connu des ratés, l'ensemble est perçu comme une expérience culinaire mémorable qui donne envie de revenir pour explorer d'autres plats.
Brought some friends from Europe. We had a wonderful time! Thank-you. I had a pastrami sandwich, huge latkes & a huuuuuuuuge carrot cake. Cherry soda was nice too. It's like going to heaven. Here is a picture of a huge black & white cookie my friend ordered.
Delicious matza balls & soup but 40$
For 2 soups & 5 matza balls? Bit expensive but so good might be back anyway…
Soup was indeed stacked with stuff not just broth so maybe thats Y
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.
Came in from Toronto & checked this place out-really glad I did! The food was amazing, everything tasted fresh & super flavorful. The vibe was great too, really chill & welcoming. Staff were awesome-friendly & made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back next time I'm around!
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.
It is so nice to have spots in Montreal with seriously good food that are also baby friendly (with easy parking & changing table in the bathroom...)!!! I have been to Yans many times for breakfast since I became a mom. I could order the Yans Club every time... 🥪🫶 Their cakes & rugalach are yummy as well as their milkshakes. They also offer great options for lunch & dinner which makes it very repeatable for us!

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...
I went in with an open mind to try this'bougie' Deli (that juxtaposes Bubby's latkes & expensive Wagyu steak)
Service for 2 took almost 30 minutes, the side of'fruit' that I was supposed to receive was a single slice of melon, the coffee is literally made in a commercial Nespresso machine (with the pods) & tasted awful, & the latke is closer to a cake than the latkes we're used to. You may like it, but I didn't. & the coffee is a dealbreaker for me.
Definitely cashing in on nostalgia here, but I doubt we'll be seeing many old-timers coming in as this faux'deli' caters to the Instagram generation instead.
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.
The food is really incredible!! I highly recommend the sandwiches. The latke was also insane! Everything was better than I expected. Though the steak was quite expensive for what it was. Nevertheless, I would definitely come back.
I was not expecting to fall in love with a Montreal deli today. I was eating delicious food before I even noticed the delightful Lego decorations. The Pastrami was one of the best i've ever eaten in this city, & that fish platter was easily one of the highlights of this resto visit.
I don't often go out, but this was well worth it. 10/10
