Deli Lesters - Montreal, Quebec

By far the best smoked meat in Montreal! Meat is so tender and fries are to die for —Definitely recommend

Went for the Super Smoked Meat sandwich. Very good sandwich, almost lives up to the hype. Fairly food value for money. Phoning it in a bit with the bread though which was a let down and a bit of a token addition at best. Better bread would make this a 5 ... star sandwich for sure. Staff were really friendly and helpful Read more

Great stop on our visit to Montreal. I preferred Lester’s smoked meat sandwich over Schwartz’s, for what it’s worth. The inside had a nice old-school vibe and the owners and employees were all very friendly and accommodating. We visited on a Monday around noon and there was no wait.

Lester’s is a must-have every time I visit Montreal. Can’t go wrong with the smoked meat sandwich combo with a pickle, fries and a side of coleslaw. Add a black cherry soda for a quintessential Montreal deli experience. The smoked meat is excellent, and the french fries are some of the best ... I’ve had anywhere. Sure, they have lots of other dishes on their menu, but I can’t bring myself to order anything else! Read more

Perfect deli experience - the smoked meat sandwich was exactly what I was looking for: rye was fresh and soft and the meat hot, tender and juicy. Flavours spot on. If I lived in Montreal with would easily be a regular destination. Poutine was fantastic. Service welcoming. Atmosphere classic.
