"This family-run diner has been serving smoked meat to Outremont for nearly 70 years. Little has changed in that time, with the walls still adorned with memorabilia and kitsch. Their smoked meat is tender and decently marbled with a punchy kick of spice, served alongside other Jewish delicacies including lox that’s smoked on-site as well as karnatzel, a Jewish garlicky dried beef sausage." - JP Karwacki
"Make no mistake, Lester’s is a fixture for smoked meat in this city. But its hot dogs are a menu mainstay for a good reason: A toasted kosher all-beef frank cooked off on the grill and served with ballpark mustard, it’s excellent." - JP Karwacki
"Lester’s has been slicing up some of the city’s best smoked meat for 65 years, and also does Jewish deli classics like chopped liver, or bagels with cream cheese and lox. Grab a sandwich, some fries and a pickle and travel the half-block to Parc St-Viateur for a picnic by the pond." - Dahlia Snaiderman
"A destination for Montreal-style smoked meat, with the smoked meat sandwich singled out as a standout offering." - ByBryan Fountain
