Delibee’s in Pointe-Claire is a pilgrimage-worthy stop for smoked meat purists. Philip Varvaro, the man behind the counter, honed his craft at his family’s storied deli, The Main, before bringing his expertise west. The result? A menu steeped in Montreal tradition, featuring house-made latkes, pierogies, and the city’s iconic smoked meat piled high on rye.

It’s a tight squeeze inside, so locals know the move: snag a seat at Mayfair Tavern next door and let your server bring the goods. Whether you’re going all in with their fries and slaw or grabbing a sandwich to-go, every bite reflects decades of family recipes.
