| - I didn't know what to expect since this place seemed a little touristy from the outside, but I am thoroughly impressed. Reuben's is definitely a place to visit in Montreal. I had the Super Sandwich, a 10 oz. smoked beef sandwich with swiss cheese and mustard on rye. You can get various iterations of the sandwich (on a bun instead of rye, with lettuce & tomato, etc.) and I imagine you can't go wrong with any of them. The meat is so tender and juicy, your teeth cut through it like a hot knife through butter. Sometimes when I get a corned beef sandwich somewhere else, it's just tough enough that one bite will draw out a huge slice of beef from the sandwich, creating a sloppy mess -- not the case at Reuben's. And the fries are awesome -- my son says they're just like McDonald's but not as greasy (this is a high compliment in case you were wondering). We also had a caesar salad which was also very good - crisp romaine, plenty of parmesan cheese, and a filleted grilled chicken on top with two large hunks of garlic bread with three cheeses melted on top. It's a casual restaurant, but the inside appears very upscale, with wood-paneling on the walls, racks of wine everywhere, and a nice display of beef cuts. Not exactly the type of interior that you'd expect for a beef sandwich and fries, but the food matches the interior - high class.
