Reuben’s Restaurant Delicatessen - Montreal, Quebec

I have been going here for over 25 years. Always great consistent food. The best smoked meat pasta in town. The cheesecake is awesome. I love their Reuben Sandwich. Their smoked meat poutine: seriously awesome! Super tasty pizza. I prefer this spot over the street level one. So few delis ... like this left. Read more

We were in the vicinity and decided to walk in as it looked appealing from outside in spite of the fact the massive construction/maintenance work along the streets. It was packed to the core that may be a sign of its popularity. Good choice of food and drinks- meat, fish, chicken, ... salads, sandwiches, burgers, etc. Appealing decor, very good service, excellent food and the portions seem more than generous. Couldn't finish what we ordered. The only low point was the temperature inside, seemed quite warm; not sure if it was normal or because of the ongoing heatwave in the region. Read more

I think here , the main problem is the atmosphere. The stairs are the first indication, going down you feel you are going back in time. This place is stacked in the 90’ , and not in a good way. The food is good, the service is super friendly too. But ... if you are more than 4, you’ll be seating separated . Maybe I’ll try the other location. Read more

HIDDEN GEM!!! I absolutely loved the food - Caesar salad was the best I’ve eaten in years! And I also tried the “Famous homemade cheesecake”, my god it’s gooooood!!! Same with the cheesecake, I didn’t have one so good in years 🥹🥹🥹 This place has a European vibe to it, both ... regarding food and appearance. It reminded me a little bit of Germany :) The service was super good, the waitresses were very friendly, smiling, got the order right and fast, even suggested me to get a vanilla ice cream with my Cheescake and I have to say, it is a must try!!!! The atmosphere is great, pretty, clean, love the decorated glass ceiling elements :) Coffee is just regular, like in all diners, I was hoping for a European coffee but alas :) I will definitely be back to try their smoked meat, as I’ve seen some amazing reviews about it and I totally recommend this place! Frankly, I believe it is an UNDERRATED GEM, it deserves more recognition! Read more

Melt Sandwiches indeed! We first tried this spot in 2019 and thought their food at that time was superb. 2024 visit did not disappoint! The restaurant was bustling and lively. The servers were friendly and attentive. The food remained superb, if not better. Reuben’s ... will always be on our list to dine in whenever we’re in Montreal. 5-star all around! Read more
