A Montreal institution since 1954, Le Roi du Smoked Meat has been serving up some of the city’s best smoked meat for over 70 years. Located on St-Hubert near St-Zotique, this family-run spot is known for its nostalgic vibe, with many regulars returning for both the food and the memories. The atmosphere takes you back to the 60s and 70s, making every meal feel like a trip through time.

Not just about the smoked meat, though—Le Roi also offers a hearty menu that includes souvlaki, BBQ chicken, spaghetti, and of course, poutine. With large portions, great prices, and a menu full of comfort food, this place has earned a loyal following.
