We went to the Mile End Delicatessen because of the classics - brisket sandwich and home-made hot dog. And we were more than happy. Mile End Delicatessen has a rich selection of brisket sandwiches from which we tasted the Corned Beef Rueben and the Bubbie's Brisket. Both were juicy and deliciously satisfying. We accompanied them with the home-made fries which were great. The classic hot dog was all we wanted from a hot dog - succulent and tasty. But if you are open for a new way of serving and eating hot dogs, go for the Hoyt Dog - it's a kind of small pastry bites filled with beef frank, and baked in an oven. This creates a nice thin crunchy crust over it. We were perfectly happy with our orders, for which the staff was helping a lot. Also everything was served fast and freshly warm.
Mile End Delicatessen exceeded expectations for brunch. The hash and omelettes were fantastic, and the Devoción coffee was delicious. The bustling atmosphere indicates its popularity, so I recommend making a reservation for a seamless experience. Definitely a five-star brunch spot!
Great food, comfortable seating, friendly service. Inside and outside seating. Some dude left a 1 star review recently which is just way off-base. I really love their smoked meat poutine (tender juicy cubes of brisket atop a classic poutine). The brisket sandwich is not that typical bbq style flaky brisket its more of a sliced and grilled thing so just be aware of that going in. I recommend the brisket sandwich and then ask for hot sauce that you can add. I recommend the poutines, any of them are good. They serve beer too.
This is up there in the top delicatessen conversations. The Canadian take is well worth it and you won’t leave hungry. Staff is very nice as well.
Ashamed to admit I've never actually stepped foot into the restaurant. Nonetheless, for my two years of ordering delivery, they have always delivered--figuratively and literally.
Incredible Montreal Jewish style deli food, for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner (plus few nice desert options). I must have eaten most the things off their menu by now. My orders have always been on time and correct; never had a single complaint.
Menu recommendations: the Smoked Meat Sandwich (essential), a regular Poutine (essential), Spicy Schnitzel Sandwich, Lipitorminator, the Chopped Liver, and the Pu Pu Platter (appetizer assortment).
P.S. they also have bagels.
I’ve been to Mile End Deli countless times. The breakfast dishes taste amazing and it is great value for the price. Highly recommend this place!
Dropped in for a quick light lunch. Matzo soup really tasty. Bagel with salmon, cream cheese, capers and red onion. Fresh, tasty and nice service. Canadian style.
Awesome spot for breakfast. A little on the pricey side but welcome to restaurants post covid. Food was good I ate the brisket and egg bagel. Drip coffee was ok. Server was friendly. It was a nice, clean restaurant and bathroom. Will return if I’m in the area.
Only recently had dinner in this place.
You can come back here only because of the service. It’s great!
Smoked meat sandwich - no worse than in Katz definitely! Delicious!! if you take a coleslaw and fries come out a little pricey, but it's worth it, and portions a huge, it seems you can take large one for two people.
Smoked meat poutine was also not bad, but it's hard to tell, since it was the first time we tried this dish)) and great beer at amazing prices!
definitely come here for another brunch!

Smoked meat sandwich
Authentic, honestly as good as Schwartz’s in Montreal and I just tried that a few weeks ago. You need to try Mile End’s smoked meat sandwich. You must.
5 out of 5 gotta try. This is a really fun modern-esk take on a NY deli. Meats are great. Beers are cheap. Definitely going to try the poutine next time and a few other things. I liked it a lot but it’s not the most traditional NY deli on this side of the East river.
Great place for breakfast in Brooklyn. Perfect service, delicious food, good price.
Thanks a lot!
They are famous for their bagels which I haven't tried yet. But my breakfast sandwich was great, I like the interior and the staff was mostly friendly :-) I will come back.
Mile End is one of our favorite restaurants in Boerum Hill and is always an enjoyable time - strong recommend.
The matzo ball soup, corned beef reuben, and smaller noshes (cucumber salad, potato salad) are consistently strong and make for a great lunch.
The staff in general are cheerful, helpful, and attentive. We almost always feel very welcome there.
I say “almost” because there is one gentleman in the front of house who is inexplicably angry and rude, almost every time we go.
One time another server sat us in a booth and he went out of his way to make us get up (the booth was just left empty when we left). Another time we walked in to ask for a table and he angrily told us he had already said there would be a wait (we had literally just walked in the door).
I assume he’s an owner since I can’t imagine a business keeping someone this hostile to guests around, but it’s also possible this is somehow part of a quirky charm that is just lost on us.
Will always come back. Will bring friends and loved ones. Would definitely recommend avoiding the furious dude with white hair who is determined to treat you like garbage.
The food was so good I almost cried. I ordered the Big Jewcey with Smoked meat poutine. It sounded great reading it on the menu, it looked beautiful when it came out, and it tasted better than I could've imagined. Never been happier eating a meal anywhere.
On the hunt for a pastrami sandwich on a Monday afternoon, we stumbled upon this unassuming spot.
The SPICY SCHNITZEL sandwich (chicken cutlet + harissa mayo on a brioche bun) was faultless and satisfying, while the SMOKED MEAT sandwich (beef brisket & mustard on rye) was generic. The orange juice was a bit of a disappointment to me because, for that price point, I had expected the freshly squeezed variety.
Final verdict – will be back to try out some of the other offerings that caught my eye.
