Omg. The best smoked meat sandwiches ever. This was my first meal AND last meal in Montreal. The first time, the take out next door was closed so we just asked for take out from the restaurant instead. They did have plenty of available tables but we just wanted to enjoy these delicious sandwiches in the confines of our hotel. I did expect the sandwiches to be like a foot high like the ones from Katz, but this was more on the smaller side. Although, it is a lot cheaper than Katz. Definitely ask for medium or else they give you lean meat. The brisket was tender and flavorful. We also tried the fries and they gave us packets of vinegar and ketchup. I never had fries with vinegar before but it did go well. They were crispy and fresh just like the ones from Pomme Frites in NYC. I do regret not trying their poutine though.
On the second visit, we experienced a HUGE line for the restaurant as well as the take out next door. Guess it really depends on what time you go. Bring cash or else they charge a 10% extra when paying with American Dollars!
