What User likes about The Main Deli Steak House:
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.

The Main Deli Steak House boasts delicious food with great service, including a large Reuben sandwich perfect for sharing. While the poutine wasn't a hit, the smoked meat sandwiches received high praise. Guests can sit outside and enjoy the food without the long wait often experienced at Schwartz's across the street. The diner also offers fantastic cole slaw and dill tomatoes. However, some diners experienced disappointing delivery service with rudeness and cold food. Overall, the Main Deli Steak House is a must-visit for a classic Montreal dining experience.
