A St-Léonard institution since 1974, Jarry Smoked Meat is a go-to spot for Montreal’s signature deli fare. While their classic smoked meat sandwich on rye is a must, it’s their smoked meat poutine that steals the show—beefy, salty, smoky, and utterly decadent.
This no-frills, late-night diner is all about big portions and comfort food done right. Whether you’re grabbing a club roll, a Reuben, or just craving a greasy feast, Jarry Smoked Meat delivers. The décor is old-school, the booths are brown-pleather, and the vibe is pure throwback diner charm—exactly what you want from a place that’s been serving generations of Montrealers.
