Dunn's
One of Montréal's oldest smoked meat institutions with killer sandwiches slapped down on wax paper and served in baskets drowning with fries. The Reuben sandwich (smoked meat, sauerkraut and melted cheese, around C$12 ) is so filling it could knock you out. It's like a rush-hour train station in here at lunchtimes.

Hoang Oanh
The Vietnamese baguette sandwiches here are the very best in Chinatown. There's an endless choice of fillings but the grilled chicken or tofu varieties topped with mayonnaise, veggies and coriander are pretty unbeatable.

Lester's
Serving some of the city's best smoked meat for half a century, this deli is as much a part of Montréal lore as the three-hour lunch. With its art deco yet 1950s diner-style decor, the restaurant attracts a loyal following of locals looking for the perfect smoked meat sandwich (the dry-aged is formidable), smoked salmon, salads and awesome karnatzel (type of dried sausage) in fresh, medium or dry. You can also order through their website.

Reuben's
With rows of pickled peppers in the window, Reuben's is another of Montréal's smoked-meat savants and a local institution. Any of their smoked-meat variations make the perfect post-pub food but their eponymous sandwich (smoked meat, sauerkraut and melted cheese) is both a highly popular choice and good value. Perenially crowded.

St Viateur Bagel & Cie
A splendid café that serves up its signature bagels, grilled or nature, with soup or salad. There are about a dozen sandwiches but most popular are the traditional smoked lox with cream cheese and roast beef with Swiss cheese, olive oil and tomato. There's also a breakfast bagel with eggs and ham.

Titanic
The sandwiches are what has office workers scurrying to these cramped basement quarters from all over Old Montréal on their lunch breaks. The varieties are endless and can include pepper pâté, smoked mackerel or spicy Calabrese sausage.
