Im surprised I havent reviewed this place before. I've been to both the Reubens and have had great experiences. It is a deli, so meat eaters will LOVE IT. Great steak cuts, smoked meat and other deli sandwiches. Service is fast and theyve also got a full bar. They also have a great display of desserts. **cough cough** **cheese cake** **cough cough**
Yeaahhh. Anyway Reubens is great for family, friends, co workers to come hangout over food and drinks in the heart of downtown where everyone can make it to. Cheers! -

70's deli diner facade, earth toned contemporary interior with eye catching murals.
Chop Chop Poutine is a meal in itself; tasty gravy and cheese curds so fresh they squeak on your teeth.
Smoked meat sandwich: fresh bread, tender moist meat, big enough to feed two. Tip: it comes with fries, but upgrade them to the poutine. Fries were nothing special.
House salad: fresh greens, healthy portion, great offset to the carbs & meat.
Chopped Liver Sandwich: moist, flavorful, caramelized onions - best I've ever had.
Carrot cake: immense, drizzled with caramel - don't miss out on the desert. Cheesecake looked amazing and monolithic.
Service was very friendly, and food arrived incredibly fast. Like faster than fast food fast, but could not be any fresher. Ask for Nadia's section. She's fast, funny, attentive and will make you feel at home. -

Simply one of the best in Montreal ~ top marks for my Atmosphere, Service, Food troika
Please note the location. This review is for the Peel / St. Catherine's location (there is another branch just down the street approximately on McGill College / St. Catherine's).
Atmosphere: The place is warm, cosy, and bustling. It usually full of people, from young couples, to business men on their lunch hour, to families and group gatherings. You'll love eating at Rubens, simply because the most enduring testament to it's quality is it's busy dinning room. Wood covered walls, and wine on display, leather booths, and polished wood tables all make for a comfortable dining experience.
Service: This is perhaps one of the most distinguishing attributes of Ruben's Deli. The staff is incredibly (incredibly) professional! Having become an at-least-once-a-month-type-regular to Ruben's, I have still to have a bad experience. The staff know their trade, and do it very well. Top notch personalities, engaging, and charming - they know the menu and are always ready to make suggestions and accommodations. It is also a great sign that the staff does not turn over very often, and so expect to see familiar faces if you start coming often.
Food: You go to Ruben's to EAT! Indeed, the food is a little on the heavy side in the sense that it centre's on steak's, smoked meats, and burgers - but if you must indulge, do so here. Ruben's offerings satiate hunger and please the eye in a double-whammy that would leave many other restaurants wanting. The menu also has delicious salad choices, pasta dishes, and the aforementioned burgers (a MUST try is the bierhoff burger witch is toped with a ketchup / beer sauce and / or the Black Jack with comes with caramelized onions and Jack Daniels sauce.) A full bar is at hand and for desert loves (here's lookin' at you ladies) you will absolutely squirm in your seats for Ruben's carrot cheese cake, their blue berry cheese cake, or their hot fudge brownie with walnuts and the biggest heap of vanilla ice cream this side of the boarder.
a Montreal classic
Eat'n Enjoy! -

Awesome breakfast. Eggs, pancakes, toast, ham and coffee were all delicious! Yes, it is very noisy and crowded. But it is a very energetic place. It certainly wakes you up in the morning. Servers are very friendly and kind. Portion is huge. Service is quick.

Smoked meat is famous in Montreal. So there are a lot of places that serve smoked meat throughout the city. One of the more famous places is Reubens. The place is usually busy, especially during lunch time on the weekdays.
So when I am craving a smoked meat sandwich I tend to come here since its good and close to where I live. You can order your smoked meat sandwich either lean, medium, or fat. I usually get a medium with swiss cheese. They give you tons of meat that is so delicious and juicy. It definitely will fill you up for sure.
When I want a little protein after a gym workout I get the grilled chicken. They served two tender chicken breasts with grilled vegetables and a side of rice. Very good.
Although not necessarily the most famous smoked meat place in Montreal, when coming to Montreal, definitely make Reubens one of your stops for smoked meat. -

Loved the poutine and this was officially my first poutine even though I had been to French Canada before.
Got the famous smoked meat corned beef sandwich. Huge portion! The meat was second only to a little Jewish place in Milwaukee that I know of which puts this in great company.
If you're looking for lunch and a beer this is a great choice. -

There are perhaps five places on this entire planet that have been able to deliver me a food experience where I can say "if it were any better, it wouldn't matter." Reuben's is one of them.
As you likely know, viande fume, or smoked meat, is one of a handful of famous Montreal foods. It's basically a super thick, super rich, warm serving of pastrami. What I didn't know, and almost couldn't believe, is how large a difference there is between the "smoked meat" you get from the world-famous Schwartz's and the "smoked meat" you can get at the also-famous Reuben's.
Reuben's is super duper moist and tender and pinkish in color, while Schwartz's is redder, drier and more crumbly. While Schwartz's is flavorful and excellent, it didn't cause me to roll my eyes and moan the way Reuben's did. Reuben's extra moisture and melt-in-your-mouth texture combines with a particularly rich and fatty cut of meat to fill your mouth with joy in a way that a drier sandwich simply cannot. In other words, I think both are great, that Reuben's is better, and that it's not close.
Having said that, there is quite a lot of (internet and real life) debate about who provides the superior sandwich, and if you're a foodie I know you're going to go to Schwartz's anyway. Heck, in my crew there were even a couple certified foodies who said they preferred Schwartz's, one of whom said the rich, moist texture of Reuben's was a bit "too" close to hot dog. Another was offended that Reuben's had more expensive offerings than Schwartz's.
In any case, get your Reuben's on and join the debate! They give you quite a few options when ordering smoked meat here; get the "famous" one (which is just smoked meat on rye with mustard) and ask for it "medium fatty" which is one level above the default but not the crazy top level which is just "fatty."

I've been saving my 100th review for a place like this ...
The Chop Chop poutine is awesome!!!!!! The french fries are thin, crispy, salty - kind of like McDonald french fries. The gravy was rich and tasty. The cheese was melted and plentiful. And, the whole thing was covered in chopped bits of smoked meat.
Although the poutine was listed as an appetizer, I ordered it as a meal. And honestly, it was plenty!
The sandwiches here are as big as your head. There is even a $75 sandwich with an insane amount of meat.
My husband ordered the super sandwich and I had a bite - it was delicious but not as good as my poutine. The accompanying slaw was a little sour for my liking.
The desserts seem huge too. The slices of cheese cake looked really delicious and a lot of other tables ordered dessert but we decided we had had enough.
Decor is a little like the Keg. Lots of business type corporate folks and possibly tourists. The place was busy but not waiting for 20 minutes type busy - we were seated right away.
Our server was pleasant enough.
Loooved it!! :) -

I have been given a lot of shit from my foodie friends for going to Reuben's Deli all these years but I stand by my claim: Reuben's is just better than Schwartz's when it comes to smoked meat. Ok Ok. Point taken: you go to Schwartz's for the 'Montreal' experience but let me tell you honey, that place is so damn touristy now you couldn't find a real Montrealer in the crowd! They're all over at Reuben's getting a better sandwich in a MUCH better atmosphere.
If you're reading this review because you're coming to Montreal as a tourist I would recommend you go to Schwartz's AND Reuben's. That's right. I said it. BOTH. it's hard to choose but for me personally I'm team Reuben's all the way. Their sandwiches are really quite different: they're much more moist (Schwartz's are dry, quite dry and FATTY) and Reuben's comes with a HUGE plate of fries (which I love). I also highly recommend you get the onion rings to start with the Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce. They're unbelievably good. Like too good. I can only go to this place every 6 months because I leave so damn bloated! It's so filling! And don't be fooled by the huge menu they give you. There are like a million things to choose from but your eyes should go directly to the 'famous super sandwich' hidden at the top of one of the pages. They tempt you with other also-ran things like a 'chicken sandwich' or a 'hamburger'. UM. NO. Avoid. You should only get a smoked meat sandwich here folks. Really.
This place is located on Ste-Catherine aka the retail/strip club street in the heart of downtown. Most of you American tourists are probably very familiar with this street already, lol, but despite its middle-Canada feeling amidst the corporate flagship stores, Reuben's is where it's at for a legitimate Montreal dining experience. Trust me. LOVE IT. -

i came recently to grab a smoked meat sandwich.. despite having an awesome pastrami sandwich in new york recently.. my buddy was hankering for a meat sandwich..
the pastrami was thick, moist and tender.. however.. it could have been piled a bit higher..
overall.. it's not bad.. but it's not something i would come back and have again -

Reuben's for DESSERT!
Okay so we ONLY went there for dessert, so please keep that in mind when reading this review. We arrived late at night, and we'd had a late lunch so just wanted something naughty before bed. We told the host we were just here for dessert and we were sat at the bar. We ordered two bars drinks (cognac and a raspberry martini) after the suggestions from the bartender. We looked at the desserts in the case and on the menu, and decided on the Chocolate Bomb! Oh was it a lot of food! We were going to order a dessert each, but were so glad we didn't after we had this one... though the other dessert I wanted, the Apple Crumble with French Vanilla ice cream, looked amazing!
The bartender was very very busy, but was polite and seemed to be efficient in his tasks. The manager was very friendly (we spoke with him a bit) and the general ambiance was very nice. I'd love to have a dinner there. I noticed some nice-looking pasta dishes, and a Reuben sandwich on some tables. The restaurant was very busy this time of night, which is nice considering most restaurants were closed at this time on a Sunday night. Also, Reuben's is located centrally downtown, so that's a plus. -

Ive been here a couple of times.
First two times i ordered the rocky top chicken which was mouth-watering good! ( the portion was HUGE!) i wasnt able to finish it both times.
The third time i went ahead and ordered the ceasar salad, which isnt normal for me because im a burger & fries type of girl but it was nothing I expected. It was enough to make me feel full without making me feel like i over-ate. The sauce was not too watery, which is the way i like it.
The only thing that made me frown was the "garlic bread" it came with. It seemed to have been prepared ahead of time and felt dry and old. Other than that it was perfect. Service was excellent even during rush supper time. I was seated within 5 minutes and the waitress was fast and polite. I woul definitely go back a fourth and fifth time ! -

Ordered the Big Bang Sandwich. There was a lot of meat on there (1lb). It is stacked in a way to make it look much bigger than it is, which only made it difficult to eat.
The beef was tender and juicy, but lacked punch. There was a dab of mustard on there, but it need a dollop with all that beef. The chop-chop poutine appetizer was ok - covered in their famoust beef and with cheese curds (wasn't a fan of the curds). A lot of really good french fries came with the dish though. Overall it was a ho hum experience. I think the recent string of really good delis had me expecting much more than Reubens had to offer.
The waiter was nonexistent though. Didn't offer a refill of my beer, didn't give us plates until after the app came out...the little things.Listed in: I've Been Here Once - Travels!

Try the Original Reuben smoked meat sandwich. Would recommend sandwiches, but the fries leave more to be desired - frozen flavorless shoe strings. Excellent atmosphere and service.

Huge portions of smoked meat. If you're in this part of town, need to eat in a hurry, and wanted a taste of what the famed smoked meat was about, then Reuben's Deli isn't a bad choice.
The vinegar-based cole slaw is excellent and sorely needed to cut all the grease and fat in the smoked meat sandwich. Get one sandwich and split it with a friend. -
Review from Marie F.
Great smoked meat sandwiches with huge portions.
I agree with Elle P. you are better off splitting this puppy with a friend.
The french fries were a bit of the lacklustre side and tasted like McCain's fires that had been left out.
The service was super quick and friendly.
I would definitely go again but I would skip the fries -
Review from Peter G.

God, I hate to be a buzzkill but this place isn't very good.
After descending the gaudy mirror and wood paneled stairs, I thought for sure I'd end up in some wannabe Mafioso's love nest only to be met by even more fabulous ridiculous interior design. This place has to be seen to be believed. Deliberate irony is the only defense.
We had fabulous service from a gentleman from Afganistan who while making our sandwiches discussed his feelings about the state of the world. He was fantastic - interesting to listen to and just so passionate about serving us what he felt was the best meat in Montreal. It so pains me that I ended up so disappointed with this place.
My companion and I split both their famous Reuben and their 'classic' smoked meat sandwich. It likely goes without saying that the portions here are simply huge and a great bang for the buck is certainly to be had, at least as volume is concerned. The meat is piled stupidly high on the sandwiches making them near impossible to fit in your mouth. Don't even think about calorie counting.
The meat does, as other people mentioned, melt in your mouth. Despite a rather strong smell that some complained was a tad on the foul side (it comes with the curing), it did taste good and had what I thought was an unusual amount of coriander flavor to it. But for the most part it tasted exactly like an average corned beef - absolutely no evidence of the smoking that others seem so convinced makes this place and Montreal meats so unique.
It didn't help that the bread wasn't that great and quickly melted and fell apart, that the mustard lacked any kick, that the Russian dressing was devoid of tang, and that the sauerkraut was actually pretty gross. And I freaking love sauerkraut in all of its stages of carefully controlled rotting goodness.
The fries were mooshy and flavorless. Having worked a frialator in a past life, I would have been ashamed to serve these to anyone. Even my gravest of enemies. I also know from working a frialator that churning out good fries isn't hard it just requires paying attention.
Other people's reviews make it clear: this place is all about the "unique" meat. The meat shines, above all else but that's because everything else was...well, bad. This is my honest assessment: I completely fail to see the uniqueness of this place and its product versus a traditionally prepared corned beef. When the other aspects of your meal are taken into account the experience is average at best. It is also completely devoid of any locals. I have some theories.
Can we also be clear here? Corned beef is cured in brine NOT smoked. My rudimentary understanding of physics also dictates that smoke doesn't do anything to submerged objects such as meat. If you watch your sandwich being made the meat is removed from a vat of steaming brine (liquid clearly visible). So unless the meat here goes through some baffling process of curing, smoking and curing again this is just your regular everyday corned beef - which is what it tastes like.
I am doubtful smoking makes up any significant portion of the process, if at all, and even if it does none of the signs of smoking are present in the meat we were served (e.g smoky flavor, color, textural qualities).
So go here if you want to be surrounded by tourists, have a dining experience with heaps of mediocre food and just OKAY corned beef that pretentiously claims to be more than it is. Next time I'm going to try Schwartz's. -

While in Montreal for a holiday my friend suggested I try the famous Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Reuben's isn't anything fancy but my sandwich was amazing. Honestly, I've never seen that much meat piled into a sandwich before. I only made it through half of it and saved the other half for a little midnight snack.
The service was great and our server was very friendly and helpful. Seemed like a great happy hour kind of place as well. -

Amazing smoked meat sandwiches! This is a QC delicacy and must be tried when you are in town, of course being a meat and sandwich lover helps. They pile the meat so high you can barely fit the sandwich in your mouth without dislocating your jaw. Drool.... need I say more?

I've eaten at a lot of delis, and this was in the top 10. It's a lovely place, it feels like a New York or Russian Hill deli, but the food is just a slight step below what you'll find at those places.
I had the Smoked Meat Poutine. The Meat was amazing. I've never had better. The fries were pretty good, but the gravy and cheese were all amazing. The while thing was in a pile. I can't believe I managed to finish the entire plate.
I'd love to go back, but who knows the next time I'll be in Montreal. -

I've been to Reuben's many times and the food has always been good. Huge portions at a very reasonable price is probably what they do best. The three stars are based on the food, not portion size or anything else. I was here this past weekend and ordered a Greek salad that was seriously enough for four people.
One disappointment was a breakfast skillet that may have been prepared in bulk ahead of my order. -

This was the only spot I had the opportunity to try Poutine at and, can I say, this is a new favorite of mine that's for sure. This place is also gracious enough to be open VERY late for an out of towner who had to wait in Immigration...
So, the Poutine was stacked with:
Smoked Meat
Cheese Curds
Gravy
The fries were pretty damn good too. I added a Molson on draft, which completed the experience. -

Great deli atmosphere and friendly staff add to the great deli food at Reuben's. I have to admit that I was not expecting to find much but was pleasantly surprised with the modern decor and quality selections on the menu.
Highly recommend Reuben's poutine which is topped with corned beef. It comes as an appetizer but can easily be eaten as an entree. Salads were as green as they come and the portions were huge. Traditional deli sandwiches did not disappoint. I was most impressed by the bubbly waitress who served our group - she could not have been nicer or more helpful!
Unfortunately any egg dishes are not served past 11 am, and there is no matzo ball soup on the menu? -

Very expensive but great diner food. The hostesses have the mostessness. Liquor is served and their specialty is you guessed it ! Cole slaw! No just kidding. The slaw is not like American cole slaw, there's no mayo! It's made with vineagar. Yuck but it tasted very fresh, so fresh I could get past that tangy taste. The french fries are better then McDonalds, yummy.
Portions are HUGE, plan on taking it home or share it with others to bed down the costs. -

We have a routine for each Boxing Day to go shopping early until we drop and then to go at Reuben. The smoked meats are great and we always take the house Cabernet bottle. What a treat. You can ask for lean or 'gras' and they have great fries. Not good for the diet, but good for the heart.
If you can ask for a 'banquette', they're more romantic.
Can be noisy at time, but definitely a must for smoked meat lovers.

Review from DAVE I.
Montréal, QC
One of my favorite if not my very favorite eatery in Montreal will get some props. Montreal is well known for its delis and its very own classic, the smoked-meat sandwich which is often copied and never ever duplicated. It is singular in taste and confection. Such institutions such as Ben's have disappeared for trifle reasons as union disputes but thankfully the ubiquitous master, Schwartz still stands and is worth the long wait lines but remains a little out of the way for the downtown dwellers.
I don't hang on St-Laurent, too pretentious and packed with puerile brats driving daddy's expensive car. I hang downtown on Ste-Catherine where the fun is and when I don't want to waste time deciding where to eat I go to Reuben's. And let's clarify that I don't mean the one on 888 Ste-Catherine but the one on 1116, the one with the art-deco inspired look.
I go there A LOT. Because their food just rocks. It's deli food but a little bit more upscale. There was a time when Reuben's was just a regular Deli with awesome deli food then something happened and it went upscale but kept the taste. They used to have old school filet mignon, you know the one wrapped with bacon and with stir fried canned mushrooms dumped on it. It wasn't very pricy but it was on OK piece of steak. Now they have Filet Mignon at 30$ for 8oz but it is the best steak I've had in Montreal (and the rest of their steak selections are also equally amazing) always served standalone with roasted mushrooms and perfectly spiced, seared and cooked to your liking. An explosion of flavor in each bite. Because of Reuben's I no longer purchase steak for home, there isn't any point because there's no way it can be made this good. It can be served with fries, but I strongly suggest the Yukon Gold mash with garlic, it's got a KICK to it that is unmistakable.
I've also tried the very simple deli classic, the baguette au jus simply because I wasn't in the mood for a huge filler of a steak and even something so simple was made to taste better by lightly searing the bread on the flat grill along with the steak and the jus was insane. So simple and easy and the BAM! Foodgasm.
And yesterday, still not in the mood for steak, because as much as I love and worship the steak, one can overdoes on it, I decided I wanted the ultimate Reuben's classic sandwich which I had had in many other places before, The Reuben's. It's a smoked-meat sandwich with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and the "special sauce" (I hate that expression) slammed between pumpernickel bread and then grilled. I was only after the first half did I stop having spasms and stop moaning in delight. Such foody goodness shouldn't be permitted. Eating it was a messy affaire and required plenty of napkins but just like the perfect burger, if you don't make a mess, it's not the perfect burger. Sadly the cole-slaw fails.
There are plenty of deserts to chose from at Reuben's and all are portions for two but when at Reuben's there is only one desert that matters. And trust me on this, they have the absolute best carrot cake you will eat in your short life. It is the orgasmatron of deserts, soft, chewy, moist, and sugary and an explosion of flavory goodness. It can't be beat
The service is normally very good, though I wouldn't say so after last night. But I'll hold that on single bad time as an isolated event. And as I was eating desert, I saw a plate of sliders go buy... they have sliders? I never got to the burger part of the menu yet. Damn! Next time.
In the mean time, my favorite Deli gets a proper 5 outta 5.Listed in: The ORGASMATRON

In the states we tend to think of deli as a New York City institution but Montreal has its own tradtion. Reuben's has been around for years and if you are in Montreal it is well worth a visit. They have their own version of poutine but following my cardiologist's orders I have not tried that. You can order anything off Reuben's menu and you won't go wrong.

Smoked meat and poutine are Montreal's contributions to the culinary world. While made from brisket, Montreal-style smoked meat is nothing like Texas brisket, or really, like anything else. Highly seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth tender, purveyors such as Reuben's stack the smoked meat high on rye bread with a smattering of yellow mustard. While I have yet to experience this delicacy from the mythical Schwartz's, I'd have to say that the smoked meat from Reuben's is the best I've had in Montreal.
