| - Somewhat disappointing, but still good enough for lunch. This place is arguably the most popular, most crowded tourist-trap in all of Montreal. The lines are extremely long the minute lunch starts. They have both a restaurant and a takeout section, but I would definitely recommend the takeout which has a shorter line and a few tables in the back for a quick bite. The prices are somewhat inexpensive, but their meat variety is extremely limited. The takeout line only took about 10 minutes, compared to the 45 minute line at the restaurant. If you don't like smoked meat, then go elsewhere. They do have turkey and salami, but from reviews, they didn't compare to the smoked meat. Anyway, the food was made really quickly and we were able to snatch a seat in the back of the restaurant. The smoked meat sandwich was not large by any means, but with fries or a pickle, it is somewhat filling. The smoked meat itself was nothing special; it sort of tasted like pastrami and corned beef, but didn't have any oomph of uniqueness. There was no elevating flavors that separated this smoked meat from any other place around Montreal. Anyway, this place is nice to try if in the area for a while, but if here for only a few days, I would pass.
