I have to admit I was a bit skeptical being a New Yorker who goes to Katz's but I ended up really liking this place. It is small but there is a real order to the chaos. Don't expect to get your own table as most of the tables are communal. Waiter, and in our case other guests, were super friendly. As far as the food, we started with a sour pickle and fries, excellent! The Quebec version of smoked meat is more like a smoked corned beef compared to what I consider NY smoked meat which is Pastrami. Nevertheless, the Quebec version is excellent! Yum! I didn't even touch the bread, took a forkful of smoked meat, little mustard and.....DELISH! Highly recommend.
N.B - There is usually a long line in front of this place but luckily we breezed right in.
