There’s nothing like going for breakfast early in the morning with a friend to just catch up. Betty and I tried out The Montreal Deli and Greek Grill yesterday and it was a no frills deli and grill place.
I hadn’t heard much about this restaurant at all before and didn’t even know that it was located in the densely-restaurant-populated area of York Boulevard in Richmond Hill where you find restaurants like Destiny’s or Bulgogi Brothers. Apparently they serve award-winning smoked meat sandwiches too! (They should actually post these awards on their website so that people know exactly which ones they won.)
As such, I ordered a hefty portion of Montreal smoked meat sandwich and Betty chose one of the breakfast combos (SUCH a good deal by the way! She got more food than I did for almost half the price. That’s what you get when you are suckered into trying their smoked meat sandwiches though 😉 ).
In any case, I enjoyed the friendly service and the low-key style of the restaurant. I liked the quality of smoked meat that I had! It definitely was compulsory for me to compare this one with the actual ‘real deal’ Schwartz’s smoked meat sandwiches in Montreal, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the meat was smoked and how it tasted so soft and its smoked edges hinted of a little spice too. It was so yummy! I devoured the first half rather quickly since it was so good. I liked the really soft pickle that was on the side too. 🙂 One downside is that I felt that the bread used to hold the meat together could have been of a harder type. The heat from the meat made the bread a little soggy and didn’t go well together. Other than that, I would say this could be the next best thing to going to Schwartz’s in Montreal.
Betty seemed to enjoy her smoked meat breakfast plate too. (Look at all that food!) I tried one of the potatoes and it tasted a little dry to me. Nevertheless, Montreal Deli and Greek Grill is definitely a nice breakfast/lunch place to check out for a quick meal. 🙂
oh mai goodnesh 😛 I fohgot Engrish when I luk at this blogg poz….
I would eat those with Ketchup and Siracha 😛 Big breakfast is an amazing boost for your day ❤ you should to early breakfast more often ❤ 😀
LOL. I’ve never tried smoked meat sandwiches with ketchup and Sriracha before. I know some people like ketchup on their eggs, but to me, that’s disgusting lol. Hehe, yep, I always have breakfast every day ^_^
aww haha, I know most people hate having ketchup on their eggs 😛 I can literally eat any savoury dish with Siracha or ketchup and not feel guilty about it 😛 teehee
You have unique taste buds 🙂
That’s indeed great value for such a great meal! I like my pickles crispy though 🙂 The meal layout also reminds me of De Dutch, Do you have one there? 🙂
Haha, I usually like crispy pickles too, but this soft one was a nice change. Nope, we don’t have De Dutch here. What kind of food do they serve?
They serve European style breakfasts, big savory style pancakes and really yummy egg bennies, One of my biggest addictions! ^.^

Unfortunately not. At least I can’t remember. But as soon as I see one offered I will try. Possibly I will post a pic of it then. 🙂
Nice! That sounds good. Can’t wait for you to try your first smoked meat sandwich! 🙂
