Looking for the best smoked meat in Toronto
After trying to get there for many months, I finally went to the Montreal Deli in Mississauga. I have no idea why so many have raved about its smoked meat. Mediocre at the very best. Dry tasteless meat between thick dry bread. The coleslaw was also not very good. Yes, the meat was lean. I made no mention to the server lean medium or fatty, but it was without taste. Mustard was already on the bread without me asking for it, though I do like mustard. Was this perhaps a sandwich that had been made for someone in error and then served to me...again perhaps, except that we were the only customers in the place. 4:00 on Labour Day Monday. Also, what's with the French's mustard at the tables? Why would they not have a special deli mustard available? The only redeeming item was the very hot and crispy fries. The frozen variety. We also had a veal cutlet dinner. There is veal and there is veal, and this was not a tender piece of white veal. Dark in colour and not at all tender.
The only good thing is that I can take the Montreal Deli off my list of restaurants while I search for a great smoked meat sandwich in Mississauga. so far, Peter's on Eglinton has this place beat, hands down. I may try Shwartz's north the Pearson Airport, next.
