"For over 75 years this simple deli has been delighting Montrealers with its extensive menu of breakfast staples, Jewish favorites (like matzo ball soup and chopped liver), and sandwiches. While many may argue that the straightforward tuna sandwich is the best, the showstopper has to be the club roll–a variety of deli meats grilled on a hamburger bun and served with a pickle." - Erinn Blicher, Eater Staff
"Opened in 1946 by three brothers returning from the Second World War, Snowdon Deli is a local gem. Its smoked meat is some of the best in town, with a mélange of spices imparting a bold, peppery and garlicky flavour onto the brisket. The rest of the menu is extensive, with over 100 Jewish delicacies such as chopped liver, matzo ball soup, and latkes." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff
