Les avis convergent pour dire que Yans Deli propose une cuisine réconfortante et inventive qui marie des classiques juifs revisités avec des touches modernes, avec des plats emblématiques tels que la soupe au poulet, le pastrami juteux et des latkes croustillants, le tout accompagné d'une challah moelleuse et d'une soda au céleri surprenante. L'accueil et le service sont généralement décrits comme chaleureux et attentifs, dans une ambiance cosy et conviviale qui donne envie de revenir; le cadre lumineux et la présentation soignée renforcent le plaisir du repas, particulièrement au brunch et lors des dégustations. La qualité est largement saluée et les portions généreuses, mais certains retours évoquent des cuissons inégales ou des moments de service moins fluide d'une visite à l'autre. Dans l'ensemble, Yans Deli est perçu comme une pépite montréalaise à tester, avec une offre variée et accessible qui pourrait devenir un incontournable de la scène culinaire locale.
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
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.

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.
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.
Overall, a clear sense of poor hospitality. We had a reservation & arrived on time, yet no table was available & no apology was offered. We were flexible & accommodating, squeezing into a small table, but received no acknowledgment - no eye contact, no water. After waiting 20 minutes, we quietly left.
This place came highly recommended, which makes the experience even more disappointing, especially as it was meant to be a special family outing.
Great new place in the area with an excellent selection of meats that are charcoal grilled, which is something you don't find a lot in the city. Service was impeccable & extremely friendly. Highly recommend the place with or without kids. You'll find a little bit of everything for everyone here.
Dinner at Yan's Deli is comfort food done with precision & soul. Beautifully grilled meats, perfect sandwiches, & a sense that every detail actually matters. At the heart of it is Benji Greenberg, cooking with confidence, respect for the craft, & a genuine love for feeding & making people happy.
Highly recommend! Been to Yan's Deli for Brunch & the food, service & atmosphere were all excellent! Both my daughter & I had a great time - very family friendly!
We also ordered their superbowl package this year - everything was top notch & fairly priced! The package even came with a full set of clear & easy to follow instructions to properly reheat each item. Will definitely be a mainstay for our future superbowl parties!
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.

I think the word Deli fooled me. This is much much more. From soup to dessert every bite was an explosion of flavors. I need to go back again & probably again to make sure that I was right the first time & chose other things on the menu! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
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.
I was there today & wanted to tell Yan myself, but he was busy with other patrons & it was close to closing time, so I'll share this here.
I've been here about half a dozen times, & beyond the food being excellent (I haven't tried everything yet, but the chicken soup is to die for, a true umami bomb, & the celeri soda… who knew?), the staff is absolutely stellar.
Every single visit, they've been efficient, engaged, & genuinely friendly with every table & customer I could observe, regardless of age, gender, or what was ordered. In any dining establishment, that level of consistency is pure gold.
I truly hope that in these difficult times for the food industry, Yan's vision results in success equal to the quality of the product being offered. This place deserves to be a mainstay on the Montreal culinary scene.

An absolute amazing experience! From the friendly greeting, to the comfortable atmosphere, delicious food, everything was perfect. Even the music was great. This is better than any deli I've been to. For dinner, we tried a variety of dishes, including soup, steak, chicken & pastrami. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to return!
The Sunday brunch is delicious. Even better is the service. Everyone's so attentive & kind. Special shout-out to our server Jenny was made our experience so special!
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.
