What people say, in short
Snowdon Deli is a Montreal deli that many people recommend, and one diner calls it an institution, praising the club roll and matzo ball soup. A few diners single out the smoked meat, and one visitor found it far less touristy. On the downside, one diner feels it is less of a special-occasion place, and two others feel it has grown pricey, one adding it is still worth it.
