At first I was a little surprised to see an old school Kosher butcher and deli in a shopping mall…read morebut as soon as I walked in I realized this place was special. The quality of the meat was second to none and the takeout and deli was delicious. Try the general tsao Chinese chicken and the old fashioned smoked turkey. Out of this world. The knishes are made in-house and they have their own homemade hummus and moroccan salads. The pulled beef was a hit at my Sunday brunch and the kosher bacon was a pleasant surprise! You can't go wrong - there's a reason this place is still around after 60+ years.

I voyaged to canada a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this gem…read more Everything is made/smoked/prepared in house, and all of their meats are top notch. Off the top of my head: Pastrami was amazing. Hot Dogs were really good. Steaks were top notch. Don't be afraid to combine all three of those meats into what I refer to as the Pastramisteakdog... yeah... it's good. I typically don't rate non-restaurant shops, but this deli was out of the ordinary.

Great smoked meat sandwich!…read more Honestly my first thought was to compare this sandwich to the many pastrami sandwiches I've had in NYC but that would be comparing apples to oranges. Even Schwartz will tell you it's not the same product although it is very similar. Both institutions cure, spice, smoke and steam the meat but that's where the similarities end. Although I don't know for sure, I've heard the cut of meat is different. Katz uses a naval cut, which is noticeably fattier and juicy. Schwartz's smoked meat doesn't lack in fattiness but it's far less fatty and juicy. Another fact on the first bite is -the flavor. Katz's flavor profile on the pastrami is a knockout punch while Schwartz delivers a jab. Schwartz's smoked meat delivers a different flavor profile all together. That's not to say Schwartz isn't great because it's half the price on Katz essentially and you don't have to tip your slicer here. That's not to say Schwartz doesn't bring their own brand of chaos. On my way out the slicer shouted he'd serve no one until the line was straightened out to his liking. LOL. It's all good though, that line was a mess and Sometimes tourists need a stern talking to. I'd get in a straight line for sure for this sandwich! I got my sandwich from the takeout next door versus waiting for table service. The line was 20 deep at 3pm and I just didn't have the patience on a drizzling afternoon. I'd revisit for another one of these smoked meat sandwiches.

I'm not sure if my review is going to sway you one way or the other, but let me just say anyone who…read morehas done research on places to eat in Montreal has seen this place pop up, and let me tell you - it's worth it. Their smoked meat sandwich is next level. And while I only had a few places of comparison in Montreal, it was bar none the best smoked meat in Montreal. I dare say they are the Katz's of Montreal. I gotta say, it was a bit of a trek to get here. My wife dropped me off and drove around while I went to get my order. Let me just say, going at 10pm on a Monday night probably played in my favor. Still being that late on a Monday in March, this place was still busy. I could have gotten a table if I was dining in, but that was not my plan. I ran in to grab some take out, and I have to say, in the time it took me to turn around and pay for my sandwich, my sandwich was all ready to go. The anticipation built as we drove back to hotel with my smoked meat sandwich. When I opened it up, I can't say I was overwhelmed by the size of it, but after that first bite, I was hooked. This was the best bite I had on my whole trip, and I am now cursing myself for only getting one sandwich. We almost went back the next morning, but we had to be on the road, so alas, this one sandwich was all we got. OVERALL - if you don't go, it is truly your loss. I would probably try the poutine with the smoked meats on a return trip, to get the full, Montreal experience. CELEBRITY RATING - Ryan Gosling

Love love love this hidden Gem!!! We always knew about this…read moreplace since our families use to get catering and orders from here all the time for the holidays! They are known for jewish and kosher deli products. They've got lots of delicious favourites The staff here is super friendly and caring! They have the best babaganoush in all of Montreal and surrounding areas for realll! They even got Half sour nathan's pickles Everything here is super fresh and yummy I can't recommend them enough. Everytime we call they take the time to answer and make sure what we want is in stock! We call ahead before driving since it's a lil drive but nonetheless they actually answer and call us back to make sure they have what we're looking for. The place is very clean and lots of delicious specialties. It's a mix they got a fresh bakery on one side and then ready to eat meals all over the store ans even packaged items in the middle and throughout the store.

After a morning of shopping, Pooh and I came here for lunch…read more We sat on the terrace since the sun was shining. The atmosphere was very casual and the service was friendly. We wanted a Margarita to start but there was no bar service so we had a pint of Rickard's Red. For lunch I ordered a chicken wrap and Pooh ordered the Moe's burger My wrap was warm; the chicken was tender and the mayonnaise aioli was delicious. The fries were crispy and reminded me of a chip wagon! Pooh's burger was very tasty and juicy; it had a bbq flavour. He enjoyed his fries too I took off one star because there was no cocktails

Good kosher food is hard to find in Canada. It's near impossible in Toronto, let alone Ontario…read more I've found one can find good Kosher food in Ottawa, but Montreal is a whole different ball game. Last time I was at Chez Benny was about 6 years ago and I'm still thinking about their Shawarma in a Laffa. I couldn't finish it and I sure as hell wanted to. Mind you, I did have a fantastic lunch for the next day. I'd put it on par with Doctor Laffa in Toronto. But it is delightful to know that there is a great option the next time I travel to Montreal (which I am severely due for). It seems from their website that they have upgraded since I have been there. Can't wait to go again!

I was dragged here by a friends with dietary restrictions. I was pretty excited to get some falafel…read morebut was unfortunately let down. The highlight was the falafel itself. It was tasty and made with green chickpeas which was nice for a change. Everything else was underwhelming. The pitas come straight from a bag without being warmed up. The salads were put in first and the falafel on top so after a few bites, all you have left is salad. Some of the salads were so salty that I couldn't eat it. Compared to other falafel I've had, it was pretty bad. It is overpriced for what it is but I was explained that this is the norm for kosher restaurants. I would not return to this restaurant.

On our 5 day trip to Montreal, we stopped here twice. The smoked meat sandwiches were great, the…read morerye bread was perfect, and while I'm not usually a mayo on beef fan, the garlic mayo was fantastic. We also got poutine which was just so-so. It's as if they offer it because everyone is supposed to serve it in Montreal. (I need to see if it's on the menu at Tim Hortons.) I also had the chopped liver, which was perhaps the best since my bubba died. For those who complain about the quantity of meat vs price, a couple of things to consider. First, 4 ounces is a perfectly respectable sandwich. If you need more than that, go to the states. Second, this is actually a kosher deli, not just kosher "style." That means prices are going to be higher. Part of that is the mechanics of supply and demand. Part of it is due to the structures of what qualifies as kosher meat. If you don't like it, eat treyf.
