| - What else can be said, that hasn't been said already? There's a reason this place is so well-known and beloved (apparently there's even a musical named after it - who knew!).
First, if you're driving. We found free parking on a small residential street behind the restaurant. But note that you can only park there during certain times, so read the signs! (i.e. parking between 11AM to 3:00 PM, etc).
Second, the visit. We came around 11:00 AM on a Friday, and there was no lineup! The place was certainly very busy but we were seated right away. We weren't too hungry and ordered just one smoked meat sandwich, fries, and 2 black cherry sodas, per many recommendations below. In short - amazing. I'm not normally a fan of deli meat but it was cooked to perfection. Soft, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with a great kick of spicy mustard. The black cherry soda was the cherry on top! There's no question that I'll be back here when I'm visiting Montreal again.
This place might look like a total dive (think 80's diner), but it's clean, service is friendly and efficient, and the food makes for a simple yet unforgettable meal. For two people, with tax, and tip, we paid around $23.00.
