This was one of our favorite stops in Montreal. The smoked meat was perfect. The fries were great, and the prices were reasonable.
We went on a weeknight and there was no wait and the food came out quick. I completely disagree with the people complaining about the service. The server was wonderful and did everything she could to appease our crying baby. In fact, when we hurried out early in our meal, they asked us to stay and finish. As new parents, we appreciated that. Even the man behind the counter came to speak with us.
I was a big fan of the throwback deli feel of the place. I'm not a smoked meat expert by any means, but Lester's was an awesome experience.
