As a Montrealer, Mile End Deli truly delivered -- authentic, flavorful, and unmistakably true to form. The smoked meat was sliced a bit thicker than I prefer, but the taste was incredible -- honestly better than most places in Montreal in my opinion. Every bite was rich, savory, and satisfying. This hidden gem sits in a charming, walkable vintage shopping district, making it a perfect spot to combine food and exploration. It does get busy, but the patio is fantastic on sunny days. Would I recommend it? 100,000% yes. If you love smoked meat, it's absolutely worth going out of your way to experience Mile End Deli -- a true Brooklyn treasure. read more

It's good... I've been back 3 times in the last two weeks for breakfast. Everything I've had is stellar, but I have to recommend the Smoked Meat Hash, it's hearty potatoes and meat with a side of over easy eggs - the hash has the perfect hint of crunch from burnt edges. Safta's Pancakes are a classic, thin and yummy. It comes with the syrup already on the pancake, so I'd personally ask to hold the syrup on the side so you can control the drizzle and sweetness. Great chill indoor service. read more

A great Deli, with fresh made food, small but they seem to move customers through on a timely basis, small out front patio. Everything from the Matzo Ball Soup, to waffles, pancakes were excellent. CS was good, staff was running around trying to stay on top of all customers. Coffee was okay, I would return on my next visit to Brooklyn. read more

I had the Mont Royal (lox over potato pancakes with sour cream) and enjoyed it but nothing mind blowing. My wife's whitefish salad bagel was not very good at all though. The poutine is legit. Nice location and friendly staff. Good if you're in the area but don't go out of your way for it. read more

Small place located near the subway. We had a small wait with reservations during prime time lunch over a weekend Our service was friendly and good. I got a cold brew with oat milk and simple syrup. The poutine was really good. The white fish salad sandwich was just ok, I got it without cream cheese. I ended up bringing it home and adding mayo to it. read more

It's a simple place, serving window at late night. Canadian dishes and Jewish treats combined from the grandmother's history. Eli Reuben was fantastic - greasy smoked meat, corned beef, slaw, and a delicious (albeit small) pickle. Heavy but delicious. Potato salad, coleslaw, and cucumber salad was all good. Will have to try the poutine next time! read more

Have you ever visited a restaurant and loved the food, ambience and service that you just can't wait to go back? In the same week? Well.. that's what happened with me and Mile End. I came here for a Yelp event earlier in the week and decided that my mom, who saw the photos of the Yelp event and wanted a piece of the action! As luck would have it, we were in the neighborhood and voila! We were welcomed by Allie and Manager Angie, who remembered me from the Yelp event. The menu has so many delicious options from schnitzel, to Zaa' tar chicken, Reuben sandwich latkes ... a Jewish feast! I knew exactly what I wanted; the pickled brine fried chicken with a side of their delicious fries. My mom chose the hamburger with fries. The chicken wasn't on the menu but the kitchen made it for me! The chicken's portion came with four pieces and the fries were plentiful and delicious. I was in Jewish paradise! The chicken once again, perfectly cooked, tender and the coating was scrumptious. I ordered the Canadian beer, Labat. My mom's burger was also delicious and she loved the fries. I asked to try the Jewish BBQ sauce and Allie brought it out; good taste but needs to be thicker. I asked Angie to show me the Shabbat Dinner Menu ( see pic). I'm impressed with the options: choice of schnitzel, brisket, Zatar chicken or salmon served with noodle kugel, matzoh ball soup and babka for $45. We also ordered Matzoh ball soup, knish and latkes to go. I forgot to ask them to divide the soup into two containers so mom lucked out with that and the knish and I took home the latkes We also received chocolate babka on the house. My mom complimented the vibe " We're guests in a nice Jewish home". Well now we have two Jew-cy Judas who love Mile End! read more

So I saw their limited "Olympic poutines" on instagram and really wanted to try one of them out. I went on Uber Eats but there was no option for it so called to place the delivery instead. I was told I had to order online. When I told him there is no option for the Olympic poutines, he said to order a different one and put in the notes the one I wanted. So I did what he said and ended up getting the wrong one...the Olympic poutine was the main reason I placed the order so I was super disappointed. I wouldn't have minded if the food was good but the spicy schnitzel sandwich I got was so disappointing. The Schnitzel was nice and crispy, but had ZERO flavor. I felt like I was eating a tomato, lettuce sandwich on a hard dry brioche..it needed more sauce or something to add flavor and moisture to it. Even the pickle couldn't salvage it, it wasn't a vinegar brine pickle that I was expecting but more like a plain salted cucumber. It seems like everything just needed more salt and flavors. read more

I thought the service was great - attentive and polite details on the food: Loved that the knish came with some sauce. would be a bit plain without. the crust of the knish was excellent. Flaky and crispy with soft potato inside. reuben's are probably one of my favorites and this one was quite good. they toasted the bread well and had good proportions of corned beef to sauerkraut. The latke, egg, and cheese was a great breakfast item. A little light on the flavor, but overall good read more

I'm a big foodie for brisket, pastrami, and corned beef -- give me all of it! My go-to is the Reuben, and they've got a double-meat version called the "Eli Reuben" that's an absolute must if you go. The ambience is cozy and classic diner-style. Their breakfast menu looks top-tier, too. Service can be a bit on the slower side, but with this Montreal-style smoked meat deli, it's absolutely worth the stop. read more

Mile End Deli - Large smoked meat sandwich on rye with mustard - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Montreal Jewish deli = dinner at bubbie's plus poutine. What's not to like? The place is small on the inside but has a mix of indoor and outdoor tables. It was a hard decision but I decided on the Smoked meat hash and was not disappointed. The brisket, potatoes, onion, and over easy egg was savory and salty. Fortunately the staff was quick with the water refills. Had a taste of my friend's Mont Royal. While the smoked salmon was on point, the latkes were not for me. They were crispy on the outside, but had more of a blended/mashed potato interior as opposed to a coarsely grated potato texture that I love. read more

Very chill spot with a some classics on the menu. Small diner-esque and clean! Went with a group for our friends birthday and there were many mixed reviews. No standout dishes, but all food is cool for a meal....you know what your getting. Staff had an awesome breakdown of the menu - well done! We had the Matzo Ball Soup, Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich, Cicken Schnitzel BLT, Pharoah Bowl, Poutine, and the Pu Pu Platter. Latkes and pierogies were a bit of a let down, but everything else was pretty solid. Give it a try on a regular night! read more

This place far surpasses the 3.5 rating it has on here. The inside seating is a little tight but there are 3 booths that are fantastic to sit in, which is where we were for this trip. Service was fantastic, fast and attentive. Can't do better than that. Food was delicious. We all go a variety of items. Personally I loved the brisket and egg sandwich on an everything bagel. read more

This is not what a Montreal brisket sandwich should taste like. No brisket should be this way. Wish it was similar to what I had in Montreal. Very dry and hard to even bite into the meat. Fries were oily and burnt. Gravy tasted like it was melted butter instead of brown gravy. I'm sorry but this was not it. read more

Cute little deli/diner in downtown. I didn't realize it was a sit-down restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere; it was very bright and welcoming. We were seated pretty quickly, and our server was very friendly. I got the Mont-Royal for brunch. I had never had latkes before, and wanted to try it. I felt that the latkes lacked some flavour, and I kinda wished I got a salmon bagel instead. I can't really compare how the latkes were overall, but they weren't my cup of tea (at this location anyways). My partner got the Reuben, and he said that was really good. read more

The coffee is always good but I've had soup that was tepid and a BLT with chopped liver that was haphazardly constructed w. the chopped liver too cold as if slopped on from a refrigerated container. I noticed also that their health dept. rating was under reviews. The service is good but my feeling is that the kitchen is not adequately supervised. read more

Oy vey Mile End! Before I venture off to Montreal, I had to give this Montreal-Jewish deli a try, as it has been on my list for a while and finally had a purpose to try it. The service is friendly, but the food comes up a bit short. The matzo ball soup is a nice portion but it is bland in every way. It needs more salt and a bit more seasoning. Throw in some noodles or some more chicken! Unfortunately even the vegetables in the soup taste pretty bland. The smoked meat sandwich is pretty good. It has the perfect amount of meat and a nice portion of mustard in the sandwich so not to get overpower the sandwich. It is literally building blocks of meat built into a meal. The pickles and slaw side are alright, but I am more a mayo-based slaw fan than a vinegar based one. At least the brine makes it all go down in one piece. For an extra fee, you can get poutine with it. Of course I had to get it. It is decent, a good amount of cheese curds and the fries are crispy, especially on the ends, but the gravy tasted pretty bland. A little disappointing considering the dish I something I aim to try when I plan to visit Montreal. The restaurant gets pretty busy early as they also have breakfast items for people who want something along those lines. One last thing, the sandwich comes on seeded rye bread. They do not offer seedless rye. Offer seedless rye! It is easier on the stomach for those who have trouble digesting seeds. Otherwise you will have you settle for their seedless pumpernickel, like I did. The rating is perfect as a solid 3.5/5. read more

We stopped by this cute little deli for a Sunday family dinner. The staff were lovely. There was a good assortment of primarily Canadian beer. The food was OK. The best dish on the menu was the poutine. The latkes were OK. the Wilensky sandwich, while not totally faithful to the original, was solid. The brisket was good. I tried smoked meat for the first time. It was corned beef adjacent. I don't love corned beef so someone else probably would have enjoyed the thick cut sandwich more than I did. My wife was unenthusiastic about her fried eggplant sandwich. It's a nice place with a nice vibe, but I would prefer a regular NY deli. Would be happy to stop by for a Labatts and poutine. read more

Not sure if this place changed hands in the last year, but their standards have gone out the window. Items are totally inconsistent from day to day. I went with a friend a few weeks ago and was excited to share my favorite dish - the bubbies poutine, usually loaded up with tender brisket and a rich dark jus. This time, the just was light and watery, and the brisket was flavorless. We had a chicken salad sandwich which was good, and came on rye. I just ordered delivery and got a few items I've ordered many times - the chicken salad sandwich, which for some reason came on thick crusty white bread. I had a burger which arrived completely cold, and a plate of latkes that were terrible, completely unseasoned. It's a shame because I love this place as a Canadian ex-pat, but I've had enough bad experiences I'll think twice before ordering again. Shame. read more

Came here with out looking at the reviews and glad we didn't. They were wrong. I'm not sure for the low stars but I want to double down on the fact that our food was DELICIOUS.

The owner responded to my review saying that three stars is, essentially a D rating, so I'll say it again: The meat was dry, the bread fell apart so I had to use a fork to eat my sandwich and charging $2 for a pickle is an insult to every New York deli lover. That, to me, is three stars and a D rating. read more

I really wanted to like this place but found it disappointing. I got some take out for Rosh Hashanah & was looking forward to having some traditional deli foods with a Montreal twist. I enjoyed only the matzo ball soup, potato latke, & (non traditional) nanaimo. The brisket which is quite pricey, was salty & dry, noodle kugel tasted weird & cole slaw was way too heavy handed with vinegar to the point of making me cough. I'm not sorry I finally gave it a try and wish them luck, but not returning any time soon. read more

One of my goals while I was in New York was to find a classic NYC deli, getting an excellent sandwich while probably also getting treated at least a little rudely by a gruff man behind the counter. At the Mile End, I got one out of two of those things - but it was an altogether delightful experience. I happened to walk by the Mile End on my way to visit my daughter, and one peek at the menu told me I had to stop. Not one, but THREE varieties of Reuben (my favorite sandwich in the world), plus brisket and salami and pretty much every variety of "meat on bread" you can imagine. I didn't go inside but I was greeted at a walk-up window with (surprise!) a smile and a patient demeanor while I pored over all the options on the menu. There was outdoor seating that looked quite inviting - had I not been on my way somewhere else I would have gladly stopped to take in the Brooklyn vibe. When my sandwich was ready it was brought out to me with another smile and even a "Have a great day!" to see me off. No brusque attitude to be found at the Mile End, apparently. I opted for the Eli Reuben - the added twist of slaw and mustard had me intrigued. When I opened it up and took a bite I was immediately hit with a rich mix of flavors and a healthy helping of corned beef - not so much sliced as chopped into generous hunks of tender deliciousness. The sweet-and-spicy blend of Russian dressing and mustard confirmed that I'd made the right choice. Readers, I ate the whole thing and it was good to the last bite. So the Mile End didn't quite offer that classic NYC deli experience I'd been looking for. The sandwich was indeed delightful, but the service was shockingly welcoming and friendly. It wasn't the New York experience I'd expected, but I'd go back in a heartbeat - and next time, I'll sit outdoors and stay for a while. read more

I recently attended a Yelp event here. I went because I remember back about 15 years ago when there were no good places to meet up in the area for a good beer after work, so I wanted to check it out. Things have changed! Management and staff at this place are welcoming and the service is terrific. The food was a tasty and fun treat. I especially liked the pickle brined fried chicken and the poulette poutine. it was also amazing to find a good, plentiful smoked meat on rye without having to go into the city.

i remember when i moved into the neighborhood 8 years ago mile end was "overpriced" for their sandwiches but since inflation and cost of living has skyrocketed and mile end's prices have generally stayed the same, their sandwich prices are now considered fair. i've only eaten here a handful of times, this past weekend being the most recent and first time dining in and since their restaurant expansion. the food here is good but not amazing. it's classic jewish comfort food - meaning, don't come here if you're on a diet - with influence from montreal. the service was fast and friendly but nothing noteworthy. i came here with 3 couples (6 adults) and 2 kids under the age of 3 and though it was a tight squeeze, we fit into a booth, 3 on each side with a baby in a toddler being passed around. each couple got their own thing but we got 2 classic poutines for the table which were great. i'd recommend getting a poutine - it's a popular pick! my bf and i shared the bubbie's brisket, turkey rueben and the jewlius caesar. bubbie's brisket: 4/5, tender and juicy but there wasn't much flavor turkey reuben: 4/5 tasted like a good turkey sandwich with sauerkraut jewlius: 3/5 really nothing to write home about between taste of kat'z and mile end, there isn't a shortage of good meats but i don't think either are must-visit places. read more
