Mile End Deli

I had high hopes for this place. After trying Schwartz’s in Montreal and Katz’s in New York, I didn’t expect to be served supermarket-style pastrami. We ordered the smoked meat sandwich, Caesar, and poutine, and then tea and chocolate babka. Everything except the smoked meat was fine. The smoked meat itself was very disappointing, I’d probably give it one star. it’s also over priced. Update (two days later): Since eating the smoked meat sandwich here, my husband has had an upset stomach. I don’t know how long the pastrami had been sitting, but this made the experience even more disappointing.

Got the flight of latke and they were all great. We also got the brisket poutine, I would have it again but I really want to try some of the other poutine they offer. Will definitely back if not soon then for Hanukkah next year. Oh yeah and the chocolate babka was fantastic

Mile End in Brooklyn has been on my list of places to check out for a long time, and it did not disappoint at all! I got a couple of sandwiches to go, but the inside looks like a family-run, hospitable, and cozy diner... exactly what you want! Love the Canadian soul too! I followed Ali's recommendation and tried the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich (their special), and I also got the one with chicken liver. Both super Yummy! Will come back to dine in 10/10 See you soon :)

I’m a big foodie for brisket, pastrami, and corned beef — give me all of it! My go-to is the Reuben, and they’ve got a double-meat version called the “Eli Reuben” that’s an absolute must if you go. The ambience is cozy and classic diner-style. Their breakfast menu looks top-tier, too. Service can be a bit on the slower side, but with this Montreal-style smoked meat deli, it’s absolutely worth the stop.

Poutine was mouthwateringly good! i got mine with smoked meat and it tasted a lot like what I had in Montreal, super authentic! If you like salt, this for you. It's also good for two people. The servers were very kind, but they're a little understaffed so be understanding of that! I sat at the community table and everything looked delicious. Very excited to come back!
