Montreal Delicatessen & Family Restaurant

Well worth the trip. We were staying out by the airport and I had a craving for a Ruben. Came across this place and was not disappointed at all. The food is awesome and it’s very affordable. Would recommend this place to friends and family, so I guess you guys are my Unilocal friends. Good Eats to all.

I used to love this place several years ago, but now it is very sub par. Smoked meat sandwiches are not like they used to be. Place is also dirty and run down. Not sure if they have a new owner but I will not be back.

Worst food ever, the bread was so bad maybe from last week. Service was excellent to bad the food wasn’t the same

We are moving from Scarborough to the Etobicoke/​Airport region within the next couple of months, so we decided to start scouting and surveying the area when we have free time. We came down to the area on the weekend to do some more looking around and decided to come in and grab something to eat. We decided to share a pizza and it was absolutely great. I didn’t get to sample a deli sandwich, but they looked great. Can’t wait to go back there. Pretty sure my family and I will become regulars.

LOVE IT! The was a spur of the moment decision considering the bad experience we had at another restaurant prior to ending up here. Really liked this place and will go back. There’s even an out door patio.
My friends ordered the pizza. I had a taste of it and was totally blown away. Talk about amazing full of taste and no lack of meat and cheese. I had a club sandwich which was also great. Another friend had roast beef on a kaiser and there as so much roast beef you couldn’t put your mouth around the bun.
Great food for your money and well worth another trip to try other items on there menu!!!

This is my go-​to spot for lunch. Fast, affordable and delicious. A real home-​made taste.

Pretty bad place. The fries where horrid, done in super old oil where your fries come dark and you can taste the oil. The coleslaw was ok, but was very watery. I got the roast beef, but to be honest it tasted like pastrami and was super salty. He wasn’t very generous with the mustard, had to ask for more.

Just here yesterday, nothing but praise for excellent food at a great price! Portions are above average, and the best smoked meat and ham combination I have ever had.

Was in the mood for some Montréal style smoked meat. Given that I travel between Toronto and Ottawa frequently we (wife and I) always try to make it to Montréal for the smoked meat at our regular spot.
On this occasion we were searching for a similar experience although we had no expectations that it would be of the same calibre as Schwartz’s.
We decided on the Reuben and Smoked meat sandwich with the coleslaw and fries. A Few things to mention:
The sandwiches tasted great! The smoked meat sandwich is not as juicy or fatty (or as good) when compared with Schwartz’s but was certainly a great sandwich. The Reuben however stole the show with its flavour. They were both large sandwiches packed with meat and the coleslaw and fries went well with it. Go for the larger sandwich that comes with the slaw and fries — a great deal.
Our server was friendly and helped with suggestions for us and also suggested I try the «old style» Reuben next time which I’m looking forward to.
Ambiance is nice enough — no frills or fancy décor but then that’s not what you’re there for. It’s clean, the service is great, and the meal won’t burn a hole in your wallet! We made it halfway through our sandwiches before we were full and will definitely go back.
Anticipate spending 15 – 20 per head and having a very filling and great tasting sandwich.

It’s not posh, but it’s not supposed to be.
I almost gave them four stars because the service isn’t as rude as Schwartz’s or Ben’s in Montréal — but this is pretty much the real thing.
They even have black cherry soda, without which the whole thing would be a complete fail.
Great sandwiches, probably the closed thing to Smoke Meat Pete (my choice in Montréal) that I’ve found in the GTA. Came with an old friend who used to frequent the place years ago, she noted that other than not allowing smoking anymore it hadn’t changed even a little bit.

My Montréal buddies all about smoked meats and poutine, Since in town many times a month had to try out… glad I did. Asked Waitress about Reuben or smoked meat, she said Reuben for sure that day. still stuffed. tender and great taste. had fries and coleslaw. My issue is I gained too much weight! I will go back on way to airport but might split sandwich next time.

This was our go to place when we don’t want to cook. Their reubens are so satisfyingly good, the house special pizza with the Montréal Smoked meat was crave-​inducing and the pie tower was slobberingly good! Most of all, I miss the friendly and helpful staff and most importantly… Habs fans! It’s only been less than a month since we left Ontario and we already miss you.

It has been over a decade I’m pretty sure since I’ve been to this place. It’s been so long I honestly didn’t even remember what the building looked like on the inside or out. The place has a real 80’s-90’s feel to it. It’s really not easy to explain. It almost feels like I went back in time coming here even though I didn’t really have a good recollection of ever being here, I have been here a good number of times. The inside sort of looks like it’s been around for a while, not to say it’s not clean or worn down but rather it just has a nostalgic feel to it, kind of how I felt going into La Belle Province in Montréal for the first time.
Anyway the menus looked like they haven’t been changed in a while either. Why bother changing anything if you have a good thing going right? I had brought my friends who had never been as well as my wife and we had ordered each different sandwiches while my friends ended up splitting a super corned beef. I had ordered the super pastrami and my wife had the super Montréal smoked meat. Super is basically a larger sandwich with cole slaw and fries (I think). Either way the plates were only 13 bucks a piece which is not bad considering you are eating a huge sandwich.
While I had plenty to eat already my wife as usual couldn’t finish hers and I was more than happy to oblige. The food was good and the prices were reasonable as well. While they also have Montréal style pizza here I think if I return I’m always coming back for the sandwiches though.

This is our go-​to place for Montréal Smoked Meat, quick breakfasts and casual meals. Food quality is good for value and wait staff are attentive. Portions are decent size.

I had a sandwich here more than 14 years ago and I have been thinking about it ever since. I came back today hoping to find that mystical sandwich not sure exactly what kind it was.
The décor and ambiance is an old fashion homey feeling. It feels like the kitchens of my childhood. The servers are very sweet and add to the home like atmosphere.
The food comes out promptly. And the portions are huge! The corned beef was bursting out between the bread. It was awesome, and so were the sides of fries, and coleslaw.
The apple pie is awesome too! Again it feels like old fashioned apple pie A LA mode. It was the proper portion and plenty of ice cream. It wasn’t overly sweet or too big like the diabetes inducing portions at Demetries.
I don’t think the sandwich I tried so long ago was the corner beef so I will be back to try them all!

This place is awesome! The place is packed with elderly people at lunch, and I think that’s just because they know what’s good and what isn’t.
It’s a great diner type place, very casual, very quick service with a great selection of deli sandwiches and more.
If you’re not in the mood for a sandwich, try the souvlaki. This is one of my favorite places to eat, I love it and would recommend it to everyone.

I love to come here for lunch, the portions are very generous! Delicous Smoked meat sandwiches, I cant say comparable to the real deal at Shwarts in Montréal of course, but this place comes close. I always get one of their sandwiches, but their spaghetti is great too. Cherry Coke? Hells yes baby. Oh, and fantastic service too!

Hubby had hankering for smoked meat. I tried the house specialty chicken souvlaki. Service fast and friendly. Place is quiet at 7pm.
The super smoked meat (yes that’s the name!) was a ginormous sandwich with generous slaw and a pickle wedge. Smoked meat was really good.
Chicken souvlaki came with a generous starter Greek salad and fries and rice and tzatziki.
I would come back for the smoked meat, definitely.

Fast service and hefty portions.
Nice find, as good as you will find outside of Montréal.

Been coming here for the past 10 years for my smoked meat fix. The meat is very tasty and they are very generous with the portions. I suggest getting a «Super» sandwich which comes with fries, coleslaw and pickle. If you can’t finish it just box it up and save it for later. I usually go for the Super old fashioned or a Reuben. They really pile on the meat in these sandwiches! I prefer my meat sliced thicker with a bit more fat… but the thinner, leaner meat here still tastes good and is tender. Adding hot mustard is a must. FYI The takeout menu is cheaper than the dine in menu.
