Be forewarned they are expensive but damn straight best Montreal smoked meat sandwich in the city. Make sure you get a pickle and the coleslaw is mighty fine too. It is pure shtick there with the characters in the kitchen and behind the counter.
Gotta try the rugelah, mmmmm rugelah. Cream cheese rolled up pastry the best is with cinnamon and raisin.
They have lots more but these are my faves.
Location is out in Marpole and parking not good but the experience is priceless. Good fun!
This is the only place in the city that can do a good meat sandwich. Trust me. I'm a big fan of their montreal smoked meat and corned beef. Get the regular size or the "not so hungry" (half the meat) which comes with tasty coleslaw & a pickle. Grab a side of latkes and you're set!
They also have a really comprehensive menu for breakfast/brunch, though I've never been. It will be my next visit!
You will have the BEST hot corned beef sandwich of your life...seriously..your life...served hot and piled like 3 feet high with delicious corned beef or montreal smoked meat... mustard..a little slaw and a kosher pickle..oy vey...even bubby couldn't top this masterful culinary delight...mmmmm...sorry but I think I may need a moment to reflect....*drool...
I also have to give a shout out for their matzo ball soup and latkes...pick up a jar of kosher pickles from the cooler on your way out and just try not to open on the bus ride home....
I just Yelped the other location: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
The one thing I wanted to add about this spot (the original location) is that they also have a nice selection here of smoked fish. I love getting the smoked white fish and bringing it home to add to a bagel. My comfort food!

The ultimate deli experience... In my weak moment, I happily tasted their corned beef and brisket, plus their pastrami ... And am very impressed ... I have not yet tasted anywhere with better, more straightforward deli meats.
If you've been to Montreal, New York or LA then you've surely visited a Jewish Deli (hopefully) and you're craving a smoked-meat sandwich, Matzo Ball soup and a big fat Kosher pickle. This is one of Vancouver's most authentic places to get the experience, although Siegel's is pretty good too and I would prefer soups. The portions are giant and if you have a small appetite, they're not really open to half-sizing the portions. That means you'll end up paying a lot for a sandwich, but at least you can take it home. You must love rye bread and be willing to get a little dirty when you eat this sandwich.
