Snowdon Deli

"'Viande fumee' is the Montreal version of pastrami -- smoky, spicy, luxuriously rich and fallapart tender. The sandwich makers at Snowdon are not the least bit stingy when they pile on the beef. Drippage and spillage are inevitable."
Michael Stern






"Of course, beef is sliced by hand. It's too tender for a machine. Here the counter man is severing slices from an "old fashioned" brisket, meaning one that is packed in savory spice."
Michael Stern



"Snowdon's is a full-service, sit-down or take-out deli. If you like Jewish food, it's an essential stop in Montreal. If you aren't in Montreal but crave what they have, Snowdon does offer 'courier service' for shipping its products anywhere in North America."
Michael Stern



"A close view of Snowdon's superb smoked meat in a sandwich. This is sliced "extra medium," which is leaner than fatty but fatter than medium."
