The Main Deli Steak House - Montréal

3.5 stars Went to Main Deli Steak House with the expectation that it would be better than Schwartz - all the reviewers say so.

Montreal smoked meat without have to wait an hour to eat! We started with the matzo ball soup! It was delicious and warmed us up! The smoked meat

I only did take out so I can't comment on dine-in serviceIt was a late Friday night and the restaurant was not that busy.

We did not want to wait at Schwartz's so our guide suggested the main deli right across the street. We got a nice table outside and had amazing service and great food. My wife and I shared the Reuben which was easily big enough for both. We had the potato latkas which were almost as good as my grandmother's. We tried poutine as that is something to do in Montréal but we did not like combo of French fries, gravy and cheese. It is too rich

Went on a very busy Saturday lunch for a fantastic smoked meat and we sat on the terrace. The server Emilie was very helpful telling tourists where to go and what to do next not to mention the excellent service we received from her. The food was outstanding as usual as this is not our first visit. Highly recommended!
