From famous delis to hidden diners, Montreal is known for some exceptional smoked meat (and poutine and bagels).
And while the famous Bernard Avenue eatery changed hands a few years ago, this sends a big sign that Lester's Deli is standing the test of time when it comes to some of Montreal's best sandwiches.
With all the next-level restaurants in Montreal fully booked for race weekend, including some of the top tables downtown and epic party venues, it's great to see some of the city's best cheap eats getting some attention.

George Russell hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri ‘keep throwing away points'
George Russell said he hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will continue to throw away points to propel him into this season's world championship fight. Russell won from pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix to claim his first triumph of the year and just the fourth of his career. The British driver has been one of the grid's standout performers this season, and his win in Montreal takes him to 62 points behind championship leader Piastri. Epic. Just epic. — Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team (@MercedesAMGF1) June 15, 2025 Russell is 40 points behind Norris after he failed to score following a collision with McLaren team-mate Piastri. Runner-up Max Verstappen is 43 points off the championship pace. 'I don't know how both Max and I are so close to those two (Norris and Piastri) in the championship because McLaren clearly have the dominant car,' said Russell. 'I cannot imagine they will keep throwing away points in the manner that they are doing but of course we hope that continues to be the case. 'I don't foresee us getting in the championship fight through pure pace as Lando did last year. We will only be there if things like today continue to happen.' As it stands, Russell is out of contract at the end of the season with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff having previously stated he has explored Verstappen's availability. But when asked if his performance here will help him get his next deal with Mercedes over the line, Russell, 27, continued: 'It doesn't hurt at all. 'I am not concerned about next year. I know I am going to be on the grid. I feel I am driving better than ever. I have got more in the tank and I am ready to fight for a world championship. 'I am not talking with anybody else, and any teams that have shown interest I have been quite open to them to say to them that my intention is to stay with Mercedes. 'That has always been clear. I am loyal to Mercedes. They gave me this chance to get into Formula One. And there hasn't been any hard feelings with any of the talks going round, especially around Max because why wouldn't teams be interested in Max? 'If every driver did not have a contract for next year, Max would be the number one of every single team and that is understandable. 'But here are two seats for every race team and I knew if I would continue to perform as I am doing I would not be under threat. I am in a good place and there is in no rush to do contract negotiations.'

McLaren play it cool after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collide
McLaren attempted to play down any acrimony between its drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after they collided at the Canadian GP, which saw the Briton crash out, as George Russell claimed a decisive victory for Mercedes after starting on pole. Norris's failure to finish, crashing out from fifth place with three laps left, means that the Australian, who finished fourth, increases his championship lead over his teammate to 22 points. Russell now sits in fourth in the standings, 62 points off Piastri. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Norris was quick to hold up his hands over the crash on the team radio: 'All my bad, all my fault, stupid from me,' he said straight after the incident. Later he added: 'There's no one to blame but myself, so I apologise to the whole team and to Oscar for attempting something probably a bit too silly. I'm glad I didn't ruin his race.' The McLaren team principal, Andrea Stella, told Sky Sports: 'We definitely never want to see the two McLarens touching each other. At the same time, it's a contact that happened because of a misjudgment. Lando misjudged the distance to the car ahead. There was no malintent and Lando owned up immediately, took responsibility, which we appreciate. But it's certainly something to discuss and review.' Piastri said the tussle between the two drivers had been a fair one. 'It was a tough battle but a clean one. I don't think there were any bad intentions involved, I think it was just unfortunate. We're both fighting for a world championship and I'm very thankful to the team that they allow us to race. I don't expect this to change anything in terms of that.' The long straights, heavy braking zones, kerbs and lack of long, fast corners at the Montreal circuit did not play to the strengths of McLaren's car, which has set the pace everywhere else in 2025, and Norris is fortunate that his error cost him a fifth place, not second. It is not the first time Norris has made costly errors this season, while Piastri, a small error in Australia in greasy conditions apart, has been a model of consistency.

Lewis Hamilton 'devastated' after hitting furry animal with his Ferrari during Canadian Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton was left 'devastated' after running over a furry intruder on the track during Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix. The unfortunate victim was a groundhog — a familiar, if occasionally reckless, resident at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. It darted across the asphalt during lap 13, only to be struck by Hamilton's Ferrari at high speed, producing an audible thud and what appeared to be instant death for the animal. The impact not only killed the groundhog but caused visible damage to the floor of Hamilton's car, hampering his performance and contributing to a frustrating afternoon in Montreal. Speaking after the race, Hamilton told Sky Sports: 'It was feeling pretty decent up until then. And then, I didn't see it happen, but obviously I heard I hit a groundhog. 'So that's devastating. I love animals, and I'm so sad about it. That's horrible. That's never happened to me here before.' Ferrari confirmed that the right side of Hamilton's floor had taken a hit, resulting in a loss of downforce. The damage, estimated at '20 points' by team engineers, left the Briton nursing his car to the finish line in sixth place. Reacting to the incident, Nicole Piastri — mother of McLaren driver Oscar — posted on social media: 'Oh no!!! RIP little groundhog. (not your fault Lewis).' Hamilton had qualified fifth, but brake issues, awkward pit stop timing, and the floor damage left him stuck in traffic as Mercedes dominated the day. George Russell stormed to victory from pole, while rookie Kimi Antonelli celebrated his first Formula One podium in third. Max Verstappen split the pair in second. The Canadian Grand Prix has a long history of wildlife encounters — with groundhogs, in particular, known to scurry onto the circuit during race weekends. In 2007, Anthony Davidson hit one while driving for Super Aguri. Thankfully, most are spotted in time and safely avoided — but not this time. Hamilton added: 'It's never nice to see that. You don't want to be the cause of that. I just hope it didn't suffer.'
