Yitz's Deli & Catering

Amazing deli. Ignore the construction make the effort to visit it for sure! The corned beef was delicious and the service was great.

Amazing kosher sandwiches. Loved the pastrami and roast beef - quality and taste is equivalent to that of a New York sandwich shop! Can't wait to try the other cuts of meat.

Hard to find due to construction but you'll see signs to show you location once you are near the restaurant. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are greeted with delicious pastries that will suck your soul away. Don't stay too long or you'll be tempted to buy some. We wisked through to the seating area and ordered the lunch special which includes a soup and a main. I choose the chicken matzo and pastrami sandwich. I've never had a matzo and don't know what it is, but it tasted like bread ish. The soup was pretty salty. Not my most favourite soup but others disagree with me based on the reviews below. Pastrami sandwich was jam packed with pastrami obviously. Fine taste of meat and bread. Simply delicious and hard to mess up. I skipped on the coleslaw that was included as I'm not a big fan of it. Overall, for $9.95, would come back to try other items on the menu.

Fantastic food and service! My husband and I ordered omelettes from the weekend menu. The dishes came with fries and choice of bread on the side. We chose sesame bagels and ordered cream cheese separately. The fries were crisp and delicious. The omelettes were hearty and fluffy. They also have a great selection of bakery stuff. We couldn't resist the sight and ended up taking away butter raisin tarts and lemon danish pastry. Overall, it was a satisfying meal at a decent price.

Good selection of products, sweet & savory. Excellent choice of Jewish cuisine, however out of respect from my Jewish friends out there I could not verify this establishment as being genuinely Kosher. This was my first visit and I got a battered sausage basically a corn dog which was pretty good. I also got a corn beef sandwich, which unfortunately was lack lustre, although admittedly the meat portion was generous, but it had better be for $10. Much to my disappointment there was no gherkin/pickle, and what little mustard was spread onto the rye wasn't spicy enough to balance out the greasy meatyness of the stacked corn beef, so it became a bit much to finish the last bites. No pickle is a deal breaker for me. The last item I got was a giant pepperette - this was a little dry and not as spicy as I'd hoped either, a little bit pricey too for $4.50 I understand they must be struggling with construction, and I'll probably be back because the sweet baked goods looked great.

Have recently been on a mission to try every Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich in the city. I must admit the one at Yitzs was the most inferior. I’ve been to about half a dozen of the best Jewish and Greek delis in Ontario and Montreal. Some have been outstanding and others just good. This place fell below that standard. The meat was was just off, too rubbery and greasy, it was difficult to bite and chew. The portion was small and corresponding prices high for what you get. Fries and pickles weren’t included and had to be ordered extras. The soup of the day and the motzo ball soup were also quite bland. Though the service was friendly and it seemed clean inside with the feel of an authentic old deli the food just didn’t make the cut. This place isn’t horrendous , but in the grand scheme of things compared to all the other great delis across the city I would consider it schmatta’and forgo going here.

Great Smoked Meat & Pastrami

Yummy food. Speedy, attentive and friendly service. Parking can be tricky around Eglinton/Avenue Road, but, that’s not their fault. Awful pies! Do not buy their “North American” styled apple, strawberry/rhubarb etc. pies - they’re pricy, not made in-house you’d be happier getting a pie from Walmart. I highly recommend them for authentic NYC styled deli food.

It's been years since I've visited. Always loved it but for some reason stopped going. My business moved across the street and ive become a patron again. The quality is still amazing, soups, sandwiches and specials are still delicious. I'm happy to be back!!

Great Smoked Meat sandwich. My server was great. Unfortunately the construction outside is making it difficult to find it but once inside is good. Beer and Wine available too.
