  • I have to admit i don't think I really like Montreal smoked meat so take this review with a grain of salt. I've had some Montreal smoked meat twice before but all I presumably wrong places (once in Vancouver over poutine, once at a fast food joint in a mall in Quebec City). My SO's car got rear ended while driving from Quebec City so we stayed an additional night in Montreal when we intended to go to Maine. We decided we ought to try a proper Montreal smoked meat sandwich but no way in hell was I going to wait in -19 degree weather for Schwartz's (not to mention I tend to avoid cliched tourist trap restaurants) so I did a little googling for what would be a good alternative. I found many comments about this being as good if not better than Schwartz's so we headed out here for our last meal in Montreal for the time being. I ordered a regular (less peppery) smoked meat sandwich, medium fat on rye, with a side of fries and some coffee. The SO ordered his "old-fashioned" but otherwise the same and with a matzo ball soup instead. The coffee was fantastic- this is great deli coffee and they're generous with refills. We don't have weak brown water coffee where the refills come only with the check. This ain't no Stumptown roasters but might I say this is a damn fine cup of coffee. The matzo ball soup- not so much. It was literally a mushy bland matzo ball in a pool of neon yellow chicken broth made from bouillon. Avoid at all costs, it tastes like a ramen seasoning packet. Now for the sandwich- it's pretty good! The meat is piled high and served hit which is fantastic for a cold winter day. Unfortunately I don't think I'm sold on Montreal smoked meat. It was like a blander version of pastrami. It doesn't have then complexity and smoke of pastrami, not to mention I wasn't a fan of the bread. I like my rye to taste very much like rye and peppered with seeds. Good bread on a sandwich is half of the sandwich battle in my book. Now my favorite part is this whole meal was the fries! One thing I love about Canadians is that they know fries- no shoestring crap, no nasty inedible chalk coating, amazing crisp yet tender golden brown fries. Amazing. The perfect texture. I'd return for some fries and coffee in a heart beat (and excellent service!) but I wouldn't be sad if this is my last MTL smoked meat sandwich ever. Maybe it's the greasy patriotic American inside of me but I'd choose pastrami over MTL smoked meat any day of the week.
