I agree that the Montreal smoked meat at Centre Street is delicious & mouth-watering. I was there this week with my two grown sons. I hadn't been there in about six months. I am from Montreal so do agree with all the former reviews that it is authentic Montreal smoked meat. I also love it!
But,for me the prices are totally outrageous. For the three of us with drinks & tax & tip it is well over at least $55, Sorry,I am in the "99%" and find this to be very bad value. For us, the coleslaw is and has always been putrid. To get the sandwich on double rye,i t is another $1.50.
I won't be going to Centre street deli in the near future for sure.
And to take out a few pounds of smoked meat or other meats cost at least $31 without tax ,as it is $15.50 per pound.This is crazy. It's good smoked meat but not made of gold!
If you don't mind spending a lot for lunch or dinner that's fine. For us,our plates held mostly french fries and tiny pieces of rye which could hardly hold the meat.
