Honestly, I didn't see what the fuss was about. My smoked meat was dry and very chewy. I loved the old decor and atmosphere, but with the long waits in the small, crammed restaurant, I could easily find another decent smoked meat place in Montreal. Maybe I just got unlucky with my order, but I don't feel compelled to go back for the aforementioned reasons. In my opinion, it's on its way to being a tourist trap.
