EDIT: After hearing one too many times that the part of my review that states that there is no athmosphere is unfair I capitulate. Going to Smoke Meat Pete when they have a live band playing is at much athmosphere as you will ever find in a smoke meat joint anywhere around.
On another note, they added a covered outdoor terrace almost doubling their seating capacity.

This to me is the best smoke meat in or around Montreal. Yes, yes even better than Schwartz (and I really like Schwartz). Make sure to order medium or fatty to get full taste.
Ok, the place is not trendy and has no atmosphere whatsoever but their meat is definitely the best in town. Their fries are also awesome and were voted best fries by some newspaper a few years ago.
It's not cheap. It's often packed but definitely worth the wait.
You order at the window in the back of the restaurant and they call out your name when the order is ready and bring you your plates. All the staff is helpful and kind. Seating is mostly picnic style indoors with a few tables outdoors.
