| - If you're in Montreal, you must, must go to this place. I actually saw this place on Trip Advisory, with well over 1k of positive reviews. There's usually a line-up so I went first thing in the morning. They start service at 10:30am and even then, the tourist (like me) were already starting to pack in.
I came back the next couple of days but was discouraged by the long line outside. What I found out though is the line is for the sit-in. They have a store beside them that does take-outs only and there is no line-up. Well, depending on the time you go, I guess, but it's not comparable to the dine in.
When you order, you can ask for fatty, medium or lean meat. I got the medium fatty because to me, the fat makes it tastier. When I got the smoked sandwich, I thought it looked too small, but it was a satisfying amount. Also, I overheard the waiter that if you're buying a platter of meat, they charge extra dollar per person. That, or you all order your own stuff. I can understand why. They're a pretty small restaurant and they get a lot of people waiting to sit in.
They also accept US dollars, and they have a sign of their conversion rate, so that's cool too.
I'm not big on deli, but I've had my share and I say that hands down, this is the best I've ever had.
