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.

I got the pastrami sandwich & it was incredible. The best sandwich I've bet had in my life. The service was amazing & the atmosphere feels like a family kitchen. 10/10 would recommend for anyone.

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.

We had an amazing lunch. They were very accommodating for gluten free food as I am celiac. Also very child friendly. The service was the most sincere & kind I've had in a long time. Go!
