A must-try for locals and tourists. Aylwin BBQ has consistently been serving the best brisket in Montreal for years. Adding deli options like Montreal smoked meat through a year-round location indoors is an awesome move. They put the smoke in smoked meat.

Great barbecue, burgers and smoked meat. Equally good pancakes and breakfast sandwich. Becoming my go to breakfast place.

I like Aylwin Deli. I just have no idea what it is supposed to be. It's laid out like a cafe. It's called a Deli. But the menu is not a deli menu except for a few items...and it's listed as a BBQ restaurant. Despite the conceptual confusion, the food here is pretty good and well priced. I had the ricotta pancakes, which isn't a common item and this was the least I recall paying for the dish in Montreal. The guy behind the counter provided amazing service. All of the seating is hightop counter seating, which I don't love but since I was alone this time anyways it was fine.

Super chill staff and the food is amazing The reuben sandwich is to die for 🤤 It has medium fat meat, melted cheese and choucroute. The brisket is not bad but the Reuben really stole the show and i’ll be back for more. Their fries are very good as well. I’ll be back for more and I will have to try their poutine as both the meat and the fries are amazing! I recommend this spot. They also have breakfast items which I did not get a chance to try but seemed very good from what I saw in people’s plates.

This is where you go when you want something quick without settling for something forgettable. It works just as well for breakfast as it does for a midday stop, thoughtfully made rather than rushed. Everything we tried was filling, well-priced, and clearly handled with care. The brisket sandwich—tender, juicy, and balanced, with nothing overpowering the meat. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was just as impressive, easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had so far, satisfying without being heavy. After this visit, it’s hard not to want to come back and work through the rest of it—because if these sandwiches are any indication, the rest is worth the time.

This place is just so good. The food is always delicious (the hot-dog, the poutine and the turkey sandwich are personal favourites). Somehow, the service is better than food - the staff is always smiling!

Could straight up be the best Reuben sandwich in Montreal. Really high-quality ingredients, nice cut of meat, cool ambience, super friendly staff, and of course, the location can’t be beat. Considering the quality and service and the fact that they had five full grown men working there in the middle of the day, $20 after tax and tip for this sandwich was well worth it
