Born and raised in Montreal and I have driven by Snowdon Deli probably 1000 times yet never tried this historic restaurant. Let me tell you families!!! RUN TO THIS PLACE!!! What a warm welcome I received from the ENTIRE staff as I walked in. Greeted which smiles and hellos from left, right & far in back. A BIG shout out to Heart; your energy and hospitality is rare to find these days! That smoke meat sandwich was melt in your mouth tender and delicious! I find a lot of smoke meat restaurants in Mtl have lost the soul that made Montreal one of the smoke meat capitals of the world but Snowdon deli has EVERYTHING on point! From the hostess, to the waitresses, to the folks behind the counter & the brotha slicing & dicing that iconic smoked meat sandwich in back!!! THANK YOU ALL !!! I definitely have found y go to place when I am craving a smoked meat sandwich!!! See you on the 10th Heart!! Hit em' up PPL!! Tell em' Jay sent ya!!

One of the best chopped liver sandwiches still available in Montreal. Don't forget the club roll. One of the best items on the menu.

Iconic Deli that has been around for decades! I had it when I was a little kid (that’s like …. A long time ago!😉) and decided to go back in time to try their famous smoked meat and corn beef! I ordered a smoked meat sandwich (medium fat) and a corn beef platter ( corn beef, fries and pickles) at the take out counter. The staff was friendly and service was quick. They even gave me a few complimentary pastries. The sandwich was really moist and melt in your mouth. A very good old fashioned smoked meat sandwich. Not as smoky flavour as other establishments but very delicious. The corn beef was just as I remembered. Boiled instead of smoked and the texture is a little more firm. Deli seats about 50, service is friendly and knowledgeable. Good variety on the menu. 6am-6pm, Parking may be a challenge as only metered parking. Reasonably priced. Worth the visit!

Not the biggest fan of this place. A deli that closes at 6pm... I don't know, it's weird. The food is ok. Some will say it is the best smoked meat, but I disagree.

I like it lots and it's a great, real deli. I find their smoked meat okay, not world ending. The babka and the ensemble of options though make this a great choice regardless.

ubereated a smoked meat sandwich (medium) and a few other things that made the fries free. The sandwich was smaller and more expensive than lester's say, and I did not see any fat. The free fries were not included and uber will not reimburse a free item. So, they advertise free fries after $50, but whether they include them or not, there are no consequences (except my disappointment)

It is with a heavy heart to have to update my recent experiences at Snowdon Deli. During the first recent lunch visit, I ordered a clubroll with fries and a soft drink. The clubroll was exceedingly dry and the fries were not edible. Prior to this visit I would have described the fries as the very best in all of Montreal. Convinced by friends to return, I ordered a smoked meat sandwich with fries and a cherry coke. The meat in the sandwich was as dry as saw dust, the bread fell apart. The fries were not edible tasting like frozen fries and not like the hand cut fries that used to be unbelievably delicious. When leaving, I asked one of the owners what was going on with the fries. He insisted that nothing had changed. That statement was nowhere near the truth. I then googled seeking other comments and found a significant number of diners who agreed with me on the fries. Whatever is going on, I for one will not return any time soon for a third visit.

2026 January 3★ An old school deli serving smoked brisket and other deli and non deli options. SMOKE MEAT sandwich $15.95 The smoked meat was ok. Typical rye bread with mustard. HOT BRISKET sandwich $15.95 The brisket with the gravy itself isn't bad. Soft. Very tender and easy to eat. DAILY SOUP (pea soup) $7.00 Noodles in. Was ok. Overall. Portions are a bit smaller and considering the price. Understand that beef prices have gone up, but seems a bit expensive for the portions given no other sides are included. Paid Street parking at $3/hr.

Edit.: the girls that serve you are amazing, shout out to Kirsty!!! Came here with my kids to honour my dad, as this was one of our go-to places as a kid. Smoked meat platters and the Club sandwich was delish. The takeout menu is stuff of Jewish childhood dreams, latkes, knishes, party sandwiches and danishes...do yourself a favour and go. You’ll love the old school deli vibe, all the wonderful food and make new memories with your kids.
