Reuben’s Deli & Steakhouse has been a downtown Montreal fixture for over four decades, holding its ground in a city that takes smoked meat seriously. Family-run from the start, the restaurant is now helmed by the late founder’s sons, who continue its tradition of hand-carved smoked meat sandwiches and aged steaks. The menu is expansive—piled-high deli sandwiches, ribeye steaks, burgers, pasta, and even breakfast—catering to a mix of locals, business diners, and tourists refueling between shopping and sightseeing. Unlike the classic casse-croûtes, Reuben’s brings a steakhouse polish to the genre, offering a full bar and a dining room styled with Art Deco touches and jazz-era nostalgia.
