  • Ok, I'm a little biased here, but I've given this place 3 tries now, and each time I was pretty underwhelmed, even to the point of being kinda scared. I've spoken with the owners, and some other Quebecois who swear by this place, but I just can't get over the sandwiches' appearance at each visit, each time months apart from each other. A Montreal themed deli, despite the Alberta name, they were for some time the ONLY place to get a real smoked meat sandwich in this town. Sooo, when I moved to Calgary, it was on my priority of places to go (this was long before any of the other places opened). What I got, well, was a smoked meat sandwich that tasted ok, not as salted and spiced as some of the other places I've been to and reviewed, but still a decent sandwich. I haven't tried the poutine yet, which is supposedly their forté, so maybe when I get the courage again. So, what you've read so far isn't all that bad, right? Well, there's another reason why I was so non-plused each time.... the meat wasn't the vibrant red that a Montrealer would expect, but instead a dull off-putting gray colour, as if instead of steaming the meat, they boiled it for hours (boil a piece of beef and watch it turn colour). Now if this was the event of 1 trip, I would be fair and maybe still try it. But, I've tried this place 3 times now, and each time with the same result. In food, you crave with your eyes first, then nose and finally the taste... well, they got the nose and taste perfect... but the eyes.... well... blech. Sorry guys, I'd love to give this place a great review, and yes it does taste good, but I still just can't get over that. If every other smoked meat place in town can do it right, why can't they?
