Best smoked meat sandwich! We searched around for the best smoked meat in Montreal & this highly rated Deli showed up. & after going, I completely understand, not only is the smoked meat delicious, the atmosphere, friendliness & heart of the deli shines through! Can't wait to come back :) Came in as strangers, left as friends.
The most charming cozy Deli with the most charming lovely lady at the counter, Angel who makes you feel right at home, all the while having the atmosphere & character that makes you feel like you're right in Kiev at the same time, I had the special of the day which was smoked meat & Hungarian sausage with cheese, a delicious charming bite perfect for any students or worker from the areas lunch break with a nice big slice of delicious homemade peach cheesecake that made me understand why the lady at the counter's name is Angel because everything I had from here brought me a little closer to heaven. Would recommend to anyone who has the chance to go & support a local family institution that's been going strong for over half a century! Slava!
Lovely neighborhood delli! Authentic & charming with such a friendly owner! The smoked meat sandwich is one of the best ever tried! There is a wide range of Ukrainian delights not to be missed. Will be back again!
The smoked meat tasted decent but lacked the tender, melt-in-your-mouth quality I was hoping for; instead, it felt chewy & reminded me of a hot dog, which was disappointing. The bread was slightly dry, failing to enhance the sandwich experience. While the deli offers a respectable selection, it doesn't compare to the renowned Schwartz's, which clearly remains the gold standard in the local deli scene.

Il ferme à 16h30 & non 17h. La propriétaire m'a vue devant la porte barrée & elle est quand même venue me reouvrir la porte pour que je puisse avoir du smoked meat. Très bon service!!
What an amazing deli! We had the hot smoked meat sandwich & it was incredible. Great selection of deli meats kolbasa & Ukrainian treats. The woman who served us was delightful. 10/10, we will be back the next time we visit Montreal.

Went in for a smoked meat sandwich & left very satisfied. Probably the best one I've ever had & the egg bread it was served on was delicious. The server was super friendly & a delight to chat to whilst I waited! 100% will return when next here
Probably the best smoked meat sandwich I've had in this city. I devoured it in about 5 minutes on the front steps. Angel who was working at the counter is a lovely woman too, she came outside for a minute to chat & made me feel very welcomed.
