Chenoy's Deli

Chenoy’s in Dollard-des-Ormeaux is the last link to a deli lineage that started on the Main in 1936, back when smoked meat was a neighbourhood staple rather than a branding exercise. This room—red booths, tiled floors, bottles lined up behind the bar—still carries that lived-in feel of a place that’s been feeding night-shift workers, families, and anyone craving a plate of something salty and familiar for decades. The Sigounis family has kept the operation steady since the ’70s, expanding the menu far beyond smoked meat without drifting from the no-nonsense diner spirit. Between the endless parking, the late hours, and the accessibility upgrades, it’s built for real-world Montrealers: big groups, messy breakfasts, quiet solo lunches, and the kind of dinners where nobody’s rushing you out the door.
