Augie's Montreal Deli Reviews

Being a person who used to live in Montreal and grew up on Smoked Meat, I just had to try this place. Don't get back to Montreal too often now. The smoked meat is great. It compares favorably with the Main on Boul. St. Laurent. The chef here "apprenticed" At Smoke Meat Pete's in Ile Perot in West Island Montreal. And he's got it right. They even have cherry soda but you gotta ask for more pickle. A little place that's home from home.

I'm not sure why poutine hasn't caught on in the States because there's nothing better than fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Augie's serves up some delicious poutine and their gravy is good on everything. The fried cheese curds and gravy are another delicious side. Today they had a "Canadian Dip" special which was a smoked meat sandwich with gravy to dip and a side of cole slaw. I like that their slaw is lightly dressed in a vinegar dressing and not sweet and mayonnaise.

We have been missing the poutine, sandwiches and pickles during covid-19. It was sure nice to enjoy them again outside at the new location. I can't wait until they are able to fully open in the new spot.
