    I am hooked on the croissants from Boulangerie Premiere Moisson. I have been to three of their locations, and they all have not disappointed me. The croissants are fresh, very tasty, and delicious. The plain croissants are buttery and have lovely flakiness to it. The almond croissants are not like all others. It has almond paste baked into the center, and it almost tastes like a soft, flaky cake. It was delicious. There are street metered parking which makes it very easy to access by car. They take both cash and credit card. They speak the universal language of pointing my finger at their croissants. But they also speak French and English in case you can't use your pointing finger. I would come back again. If you are visiting Montreal, this chain of boulangerie is a must visit. Try the croissants and let me know. If you know other boulangeries, please also let me know.

    Première Moisson is a staple in the city when it comes to bread and pastries. There's a dozen alone on the island so I guess they're considered a chain but damn, they're consistency is impressive. We decided to grab a box of pastries after a hot yoga session (treat yo self!). - Pastries - we ordered a couple types of croissants for everyone to try along with a peach turnover pastry. I had half of the cheese croissant (it had cheese inside for extra cheesiness) and half of the almond croissant ($3.25); flaky and filling is divine. The 100% butter croissant ($1.65) was devoured by my dad so safe to say he liked it. We also tried a strawberry rhubarb pie ($9.25) that we saved for New Year's eve. I found the filling a little too sweet for my taste buds but a few others liked it.

    Premier Moisson is the go-to bakery/cafe in the neighbourhood. They are open late and have a good collection of breads (including one with no ingredients that contain gluten). They also have a few gluten-free pastries. The breads are pretty good and the pastries are enjoyable - though not the best in town. Nevertheless, I'll pick them over any nonlocal chain coffee place anytime. This is quite a spacious bakery and there's ample space to sit with some outlets for those of us accompanied by our laptops! They have a good variety of lunch items as well: different soups, salads and sandwiches etc. There was a cozy beautiful bakery right in front of them that sadly moved recently. So this is my new fav. bakery/cafe close to villa-maria metro station :)

    Love everything they have here. However the staff are extremely unfriendly and don't try to speak English.

    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.

    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.

    Schwartz's Deli is one of those Montreal spots that hits you immediately with how tight and chaotic…read moreit feels inside. We walked into a space that is small, constantly packed, and built around fast turnover rather than comfort, with people lining up at the counter while orders get called out across a loud, crowded room. The energy hit us right away, and it felt more like stepping into a system that has been running the same way for decades rather than a modern restaurant experience. The smoked meat sandwich is the main reason to come here, and it delivers in a very direct, no-frills way. We ordered one and found the meat thick, heavily seasoned, and with a deep smoky flavor that came through right away. The texture stood out most, tender but still structured enough to hold its bite, especially when stacked on rye bread with mustard. It is simple in concept but feels complete in execution, with nothing on the plate trying to distract from the main item. The sides like pickles, coleslaw, and fries felt more supportive than essential. We tried the poutine and found it solid and filling, but it clearly sat in the background compared to the smoked meat sandwich. Everything on the menu seemed centered around that one item, and the rest of the food reinforced that focus rather than expanding it into a wider dining experience. Seating is communal and tightly packed, which added to the overall intensity of the place. It was common to share tables with strangers, and there was very little personal space once we sat down. The noise level stayed high the entire time, but the service was quick, so the pace of the meal kept things moving even when it felt crowded. Schwartz's Deli feels like a Montreal institution defined by its simplicity and consistency. It is not a comfortable sit-down meal, but the smoked meat sandwich is strong enough to make the entire experience worth it, especially if you are there for what it is known for rather than the setting around it.

    Worth the wait in the rain! Good to know that they have a TO GO LINE and line for if you wanna dine…read morein. So if you don't wanna wait in a long line and the weather is great- I say take it to go and enjoy the outdoors. The service is great and friendly funny staff. If you are dining in and only a party of 2 be prepared to be sitting with other people with parties of 2. It was no issue for us because we love people :) it's a smaller space inside for dining in. Now THE SMOKED MEAT SANDWICH-- AMAZING! The bread was soft and beef was delicious. SOOOO much better than overpriced Katz in NY. It's a definitely a place to eat at when in Montreal.
