Rubens has been a favourite go to in Montreal for years. I've loved this place. Previous to my last visit, I've been wowed by the service, price and food - especially the smoked meat. After my last experience, I'm a bit disappointed. The service is still spectacular. Was not impressed with the 30% to 40% increase in the price for a smoked meat sandwich. What was 12 bucks with fries not too long ago is now $18 or $19. And apparently asking for no mustard means that they will add mustard, then try to half assed wipe it off. I did walk out with a 5lbs brisket to take home to Toronto as you just can't find this kind of meat back home. Sadly they charge well over $11 per pound to buy a la carte.
