I’m heading to the Monarch Tavern tonight to watch the game and it's got me thinking about sandwiches. About a year ago Caplansky’s opened their smoked meat operation at the back of this chilled out neighbourhood joint and it’s become a bit of a destination. This is kind of a strange turn of events, as the Monarch’s not exactly the type of place you’d expect discerning diners to frequent; I doubt they’ve washed the floors in the past decade and their wine selection is limited to either house red or white. Nevertheless, the sandwiches are amazing and I’m more than happy to eat mine with a pint of Bud Lite. If you’re not familiar with Montreal smoked meat, I’d suggest you acquaint yourself as soon as possible and barring a trip to La Belle Province the Monarch is your best bet. 
Other amenities: pool table, jukebox, Cherry Cott
