A
Schwartz’s
Known far and wide, this old-time Hebrew deli is widely considered to serve the best smoked meat in Montréal whether it’s brisket, duck, chicken or turkey, all piled high on sourdough rye bread. The Romanian-style meat is cured on the premises and aged without chemicals. You can order it fat, medium (recommended) or lean. Expect long lines.

Olive + Gourmando
Named after the owners’ two cats, this bakery/café is legendary in town for its sandwiches and baked goods. Excellent choices include the smoked trout with herbed cream cheese and the Cuban (ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese and house-made chipotle mayo). You’ll also find good coffee, tempting desserts and fresh loaves for takeout (including olive and rosemary bread). Try to avoid the busy weekday lunch rush (11:30am to 1:30pm).

Dunn’s
One of Montréal’s oldest smoked meat institutions with satisfying sandwiches slapped down on wax paper and served in baskets piled with fries. In addition to classics (like the smoked-meat club sandwich with Swiss cheese and bacon), you’ll find burgers, char-grilled steaks and bagels with lox and cream cheese.

Reuben’s
Another favorite deli in downtown, Reuben’s has squishy booths and a long counter, where patrons line up for towering smoked-meat sandwiches served with big-cut fries. Burgers, smoked pork chops and other old-school favorites round out the menu. Try to avoid the busy lunch rush. Service is so-so.
