Selection
Michelle F.

Large selection of everything. From baked goods, desserts, to specialty items like smoked salmon and foie Gras. This place had so many quebec local products. I spent at least 15 minutes browsing the store and I spent wayyyyy too much money on food I couldn't possibly finish during my stay in montreal. But darn. It's an experience and I had alittle bit of everything and it all was so delicious. I found the coffees to be mediocre though. So skip that. Bonus. I loved that this place opened up earlier than most. As I was trying to find a spot to eat at in the wee morning when everything for blocks was closed except for this place.

Quick lunch
Nancy H.

Stopped by here for a quick lunch. Service was fairly fast and it wasn't too crowded, but we went on a Sunday afternoon (I can imagine it gets very busy on weekdays). You basically take a number and you can order when you're called. There is a large display of the food available, which is basically premade sandwiches, pastries, pies, quiches, salads, etc. You can get a meal (main dish + salad or soup or desert + coffee/tea) for a decent price, less than $15. Signage is all in French though, although some servers do speak English. Unfortunately when I was ordering there was some miscommunication because my French is terrible and some of the signs for their food is missing. Some items you pay by weight and others you pay per item. There are also plenty of breads and their other products for sale. I got a turkey pie/pastry (unsure of name) and the palm hearts salad. The salad was fresh and crunchy, and the pastry was very rich and buttery. They offer to warm it up for you, and it was delicious, with meaty chunks in the filling and well seasoned. The tables are quite small and it can get a bit noisy, so probably not the best place to stick around and study. There's free water on a counter as well. Altogether a good experience, but it's a bit too expensive for a student budget to go often.

Why hello there croissant fromage

I haven't been to too many bakeries in Montreal just YET, so maybe my standards aren't so high. But I will say that Premiere Moisson is definitely one of my favorite places to get something baked with gluten. I've never been disappointed. I was lucky enough to get their last loaf of sourdough yesterday, and I haven't been able to stop munching on that thing! Soft, complex, textured, flavorful. When I find myself with a decent package of aged cheese, I definitely hit up PM for a baguette. Or if I'm feeling sweet, their almond croissants hit the spot. Luckily for me, this location is a 15-20 min walk away, and the exercise is worth it!

Latte and tisane

Services are really not great particularly during lunch hours. If I come back to this area again, I would definitely choose the other competitors such as Le Pain Doré or Le Brûlerie St-Denis, or even grab a chicken shish taouk sandwich at Kebab, as a much cheaper and more delicious option. Here are our orders: 1. Sandwich with chicken breast, avocado and tomato (with poppy seed white baguette) 2. Quiche stuffed with meat 3. Celery creamy soup I personally found that eaters could easily get a better option in the surrounding areas.

Crêpes aux fraises
Antonio C.

Great place for breakfast! I had the strawberry crêpes and they were absolutely fantastic. Large portions, soft crêpes stuffed to the brim with fresh fruit covered in sweet maple syrup. Slightly pricey for what I got, but well worth it for an occasional meal.

Love their croissants. I always strip by to pick up some for the week. Nice ambiance, amicable staff. And the pastries, oh my, can't go wrong!

Tasty Sandwiches
Kevin W.

This location has a really nice atmosphere to it. The sandwiches, salads and pastries make for plenty of choices to enjoy a wonderful lunch. They have a terrace out front and plenty of seating inside.

Half eaten raisin Croissant
Shero B.

This bakery was one of the highlights of my trip to Montreal. Had either their Apricot croissant and raisin Croissant for breakfast almost daily. Great variety of cakes and pastries.

Yum!

Ville-Marie

I heard that smoked meat was something you should eat while in Canada. My BF and I were exploring…read moreOld Montreal and needed a lunch spot, so a quick Yelp search helped us find Smoking Meat. We ordered the smoked meat trio and the poutine with smoked meat. The smoked meat trio includes a sandwich, cole slaw, and water. I've never had Canadian smoked meat before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it would be a lot smokier, but I'm glad it wasn't. It reminded me of NYC corned beef sammies. The poutine with the smoked meat was also great. This was definitely enough food for two people, especially since the poutine is so heavy. We actually thought we ordered the smoked meat plate, which includes all of the items from the trio, plus a pickle and more french fries. When we asked them about it, we realized that we probably just ordered the wrong thing. However, they brought us out some extra fries (which we definitely didn't need), but it was really nice of them to do so. It was a nice textural change from the gravy-soaked fries we had been eating. Overall, it was a great meal - but definitely not something that I could eat that often.

This restaurant is over rated…read more Although they are the only restaurant in the area within the older town of Montreal, near the Notre dame, I didn't think their smoked meat was as great as I tasted in the outskirts of montreal. The smoked meat was salty, oily and expensive, the poutine wasn't the best either. Such a small portion that was expensive, probably because it was in a tourist area. Don't think I'd eat here again unless I can't get out of the older montreal area because there's other places much less oily and more reasonable.

Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

On the outside, this place might look like a tourist trap, but locals and families coming here…read moresince 1954 will tell you there's a reason it's called the King of Smoked Meat! It's a family-owned institution that serves up warmth, tradition and is famous for pizza, smoked meat, seafood, grilled meats, salads, desserts, cheesecake, and more. Open late when most other places are closed, it's an unpretentious diner where my friends and I were glad to share some laughs, jokes with the waitstaff, and good food. We couldn't decide on what to order, so we defaulted to a poutine and a smoked meat platter with extra coleslaw. It felt like being in one of those late night diners with a large menu with lots of choices. The poutine didn't make the honour roll; it didn't fail, but I'd say it was decent and it passed. The smoked meat coming in as the valedictorian was not surprising since it's the namesake of the place. My friends prefer their smoked meat with a little bit of melt-in-your-mouth fat whereas I prefer it lean. Our waitress was kind enough to put both buttery, fatty and lean pieces on the platter so we were all happy. There was mustard ready to go at our booth table, we were ready to slather it on the rye bread. The smoked meat was warm, tender, tasty and delicious! The coleslaw also was good too with a good amount of sourness and garlic flavour. It's an alternative to Lester's, Snowdon Deli, or Schwartz's. I'd definitely return for the cozy ambiance and smoked meat.

ouvert depuis 1954, ce restaurant est une institution a Montreal…read more Mais je n'étais jamais allé. la gentille et efficace serveuse nous a propose le special. Sandwich a la viande fume avec frites et salade de choux et cornichon et ca incluait une boisson gazeuse. Tout était chaud et délicieux. Assoyez vous au comptoir ou est l'action. Un peu difficile de se stationner sur la plaza saint Hubert

Plateau-Mont-Royal

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
