For Day 18, I did a Montreal smoked meat order the way I’ve been suggested by Montrealers – medium fatty, with yellow mustard on rye. Alongside a pickle, fries and black cherry cola (Cotts is the OG, they had Pop Shoppe here).
This is from Dave’s Genuine Deli’s newer location at the Waterworks Food Hall, 50 Brant St. It was consistent, just as good as I remember at the uptown location and amongst the better ones I’ve had in the GTA. Would be curious to hear people’s faves, I’m sure Sumilicious will feature prominently.

Sumi and Centre Street Deli are definitely worth your time. CCD opened an outpost on Bay Street last year and it’s great.
Also, why only 20 days??
Keep it up!
Just had Dave’s the other day and it was really good
Best smoked meat in the city imo
As someone making their own smoke meat, that looks really good. I really like the thickness of the cuts. Looks properly cooked, nice trim (although sometimes I like a bit of fat). Only thing I’d say is that I’d like more spices – peppercorns, coriander seed, etc.
Proper fermented pickle, fries look pretty good.
Smoke meat is one of my fav on sandwiches. Very Canadian and very good
You’re the reason I can’t wait to go to Emma’s Country Kitchen. Thankful for this series it’s showing me spots I never knew about!
Aww. You should have gone to Pancer’s.
I don’t know about this place but looks great.
Sumilicious better
Dave’s genuine deli was some of the driest smoked meat I’ve ever had.
When The Pig Came Home, in The Junction.
Man I miss Corned Beef House downtown. All these places slice the smoked meat so thick like brisket. I want it thin and oiled sky high.
So good!
Dave’s is great! The location in the Waterworks Food Hall blew me away.
This city doesn’t do Montreal food especially well, considering how close we are, but Dave’s is easily as good as most places I’ve been there.
The best place in Waterworks.
How much weight have you gained so far?
Am I the only one that this shit is just straight booty? You can’t convince a slab of meat in between two thin pieces of bread is any good
Dave’s is super legit. Best smoked meat in the city imho.
Best smoked meat downtown, by far! The whole menu is tasty, and the staff are very friendly. Only problem is price…
