East Meats West specializes in halal deli meats; they mainly sell various cooked and uncooked meats that you can buy and take home, but they also have an assortment of sandwiches for take-out.
One of their specialties is Montreal smoked meat. I’m never going to say no to a Montreal smoked meat sandwich, so obviously that’s what I ordered. I went with the small size, which comes with a decent amount of meat, and rings in at a delightfully cheap eight bucks. Can’t go wrong there.
The woman behind the counter asked if I wanted “everything,” which turned out to be quite a lot. The sandwich comes topped with lettuce, pickles, mustard, mayo, and one more sauce (Russian, I’m guessing).
The meat here was thinly sliced and a bit more on the chewy side than somewhere like Sumilicious, which means the extra condiments were probably necessary. The spicing is also a bit more subtle than the norm, so again, the many condiments aren’t unwelcome.
It’s certainly not the best Montreal smoked meat sandwich I’ve ever had, but it’s tasty enough, and it’s hard to deny that it’s a great deal.
