Monty's Deli in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Being first time at Old Spitalfields Market we were overwhelmed by wide range of food stalls there. We were lucky to choose pastrami at Monty's Deli. Juicy pastrami, tasty pickles and smooth bread. We will come back again.

¿Quién sabía en el corazón de Londres que hay comida Deli tan buena como algunas de las mejores delicatessen en los Estados Unidos? La carne salada, que es como la carne en conserva era absolutamente fantástica, como donde estaban los panecillos. Si necesita un poco de comida reconfortante cuando está de viaje, le recomiendo Monty's. Además, los precios son mejores que los Estados Unidos. Es el trato real si de un profesional de delicatessen.

He comido en Montys varias veces y nunca me decepciona y su Rueben es simplemente la perfección, pero asegúrate de doblar al chico malo y conseguir algunos encurtidos al lado. Después de haber probado algunos lugares, tengo que decir que si vas a tratar de llegar a Hoxton Location, es el lugar perfecto para disfrutar de tu bocadillo.

This had been on our to-do list for too long. We eventually made it to Monty's Deli in Old Spitalfields Market. Packed with hardly anywhere to sit, we queued and placed our order. What a disappointment. Dry tasteless chewy salt beef on stale rye bread with half a watery pickled cucumber for £13! Lakes which were bland under seriously undercooked in the centre. A challah roll with smoked salmon and something masquerading as egg was disgusting. For £28 (for 2 people) we could have had much nicer food for much less at Beigel Bake in Brick Lane. Truly awful experience. Don't bother.

Absolutamente me encantó el latke reuben, asegúrate de pedirlo sin siratcha si eres vegetariano. El pepinillo también era fantástico: vinagre dulce y sutil que no te quitaba la cabeza. Con seguridad va a volver.

モルトビーマーケットのそばの店舗に行きました。レギュラーサイズのパストラミサンドを２人でわけてちょうどのボリュームでした。やや塩辛かったですが、美味でした。

I’ve had a lot of them, so I’m pretty confident about that statement, as well as the ALL CAPS title. I had the mixed meat sandwich (with chips and extra pickles) and it blew me away. Loved it!

Fui al puesto de Spitalfields durante un fin de semana en Londres. Estaba MUY OCUPADO, pero cuando muerdes uno de sus Especiales Reuben, ¡entenderás por qué!Esto es una cosa de belleza.Para nosotros, el precio de Northerner's es un poco chocante (¿trece libras por un sándwich?!?), Pero todos merecemos un tratamiento de vez en cuando y le recomendaría encarecidamente que se dé un capricho.

My New York Jewish husband and I love London, but miss the great food we could so easily get in the enclaves of NYC and Long Island. Well, we have found something even better - Monty’s deli. No exaggeration that the food is excellent. From the perfectly prepared latkes, tender and flavourful (generous) pastrami sandwich, not to mention the chopped liver, like you can’t believe. And then there was the shabbat dinner. You will write home about the chicken that is better than what your mother made - juicy, full of flavour and so moist. The veggies and potatoes are cooked with - yum! Oh, then the kugel-like dessert. And so much food. We’re taking my brother-in-law when he comes from the States next month (the smart professor who travels the world and rates places on their food). He’ll be jealous because he doesn’t live here!

Booked the special Shabbat Dinner for a group of 18. Food was delicious and service excellent. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Fuimos a almorzar, pero nada en el menú nos atrapó y solo tuvimos un té y café. Las bebidas tenían un precio de 2 cada una y no eran nada especial, tetera pequeña y tazas pequeñas. El proyecto de ley agregó 50 p en servicio de propina. No me impresionó y no volveré.

I cannot recommend this deli enough, the Reuban is quite possibly the best I have had, the latkes and salt beef are equally delicious. They have three locations around London. Look forward to bringing family and friends next time.

The best pastrami sandwich I've had since being in NYC six months ago. Victoria Market Hall location. Friends were really impressed with their first pastrami sandwich experience. We'll be back.

I ve tried their pastrami reuben sandwich and it was delicious 1st class quality I will definately go there soon to try their other delicacies

Delicious food.4 of us went for lunch. Liked the sound of most of the starters so we ordered practically one of everything and shared. Loved the chopped liver and toasted challah bread. Pickles were good too. We all opted for the salt beef (nearly as good as my home made) eggs and latkas. Best latkas I've eaten in ages and the eggs cooked to perfection for me, also loved the coleslaw that accompanied it all. Loved my dessert of chocolate style bread pudding, served with vanilla ice cream. All washed down with a peppery but damn good bloody mary and a lemon tea. Service was friendly and pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed and excellent value for money.

loved our non oily latkes with dipping apple sauce and sour cream and tasty melt in the mouth salt beef sandwich yesterday . i even had a coca cola ice cream float - not had one of those for a while ! Will return and interested to try out their company delivery service .

Huge sandwich. Great meat. Simply wonderful. I can’t speak highly enough. Get the Ruben. It’s going to blow your mind.

This place was very disappointing for service, small portion and price. The meals we order were served incorrectly and we didn’t get our food at same time.

Listen, I know times are tough but when I am paying 13£ for a sandwich I need a solid framework upon which said meal can be built. By limiting the bread slice size so extensively there is therefore less meat, less garnish and therefore less to enjoy. Please source a suitable approximate a5 sized slice to sort out the customer satisfaction and experience otherwise I would be most aggrieved to be similarly disappointed again.

We had the reuben with salami, but it was extremely salty! It ruined the whole taste. We tried the cheesecake and it felt like it was store bought. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place.

We love traditional deli sandwiches, especially Pastrami and Reubens. However, Monty's pastrami Reubens, the star of the show, was rather lackluster. First of all, it was tiny! A little sandwich and half a pickle on a plate with nothing besides. The flavour of the pastrami was good, but it was "powdery" and dry in texture (overcooked). There also wasn't a lot of it! The pickle it was served with was good and so was the Sauerkraut, but the rye bread was very light (and small). We also had a salt beef Reuben which was nice, but also quite small! Latkes were very good and so were the drinks - coffee and egg cream! We ended with a sesame bagel that wasn't very big nor chewy enough like a traditional bagel. Feeling a bit disappointed because the reviews we read online gave high ratings. On the plus side, the waiters were friendly and helpful.

We visited last year after wanting to for ages following Tom Kerridge’s televised visit during which time he raved about the Reuben. It was ok. Not awful but certainly not great. My husband was gutted as he had been really looking forward to it. Would go elsewhere next time

Very small sandwich, salt beef and pastrami tasted a bit odd. Odd texture to meat. Cheese not grilled but placed on top of sandwich. Service slow and a bit inattentive. Was offered mayo and ketchup with the fries but it never came. You can see the proportion of meat to Sauerkraut in the photo. Pickles too fancy, small and odd. Flavour nowhere close to Brass Rail or Beigel Bake. No English mustard. Shame as was really looking forward. Not cheap!

Salt beef for me, pastrami for my partner - and both were a huge disappointment. The price is close to the best in town - Brass Rail at Selfridges - but the quality and value (from where DO they source the smallest rye loaf?) are nowhere. And to run out of bagels (this at the Victoria outpost) is sacrilege.

Tried the rueben special today, very nice salt beef sandwich made with small size sliced bread £13 quid...frikin rip off....half a pickled gherkin included. There must be better places than this

Locale simpatico e accogliente arredato con gusto “shabby chic”. Avevamo già visitato la sede di Victoria station e assaggiato il sandwich Reuben e lo Smoked Salmon Bagel, quindi, per cambiare, ci siamo lasciati tentare dal tagliere di pesci affumicati per due che dà diritto al Martini cocktail scontato. Il piatto è risultato ben presentato e abbastanza appetitoso, soprattutto il mackerel e la trout, più ordinari il salmone e l’aringa. Ci torneremo volentieri, anche per scoprire se fanno i sandwich meglio che nella sede di Market Halls alla stazione Vittoria, dove ancora lasciano un po’ a desiderare.

Lacking massively. Picture says it all. Nothing like advertised. Nowhere near. Overpriced. Disappointed

Después de que Time Out lo calificara como el mejor Reuben en Londres, lo busqué con entusiasmo.

Almost religious an experience it could have been (I’m not religious so wouldn’t quite know!). Get yourself a Reuben!

I was excited about trying Monty's in Victoria with my non-Jewish friend, however the latkes needed more seasoning and the salt beef sandwich was on the slim side for £8 which I felt overpriced. Make your way to Brick Lane Beigel Bakery I say!

Freshly baked bagels, great beef, sauerkraut, pickles and cashless service in Victoria Market Hall - couldn't ask for more.

Wow wow wow. Have been looking for ages for something similar to what you can eat in New York and these sandehiches are amazing. The pastrami melts in your mouth. The latkes ate amazing.

Pedí el sandwich Reuben Special de pastrami. Estaba riquísimo, el pastrami es sabroso, tierno y fino. Le ponen mucha cantidad y te atienden de maravilla.

Me and my partner visited the Spitalfields market stall to try the Reuben sandwiches. I had salt beef and he had pastrami. Both thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches. When in NYC we sampled a number of delis including the famous Katz's deli and have been looking for something similar in London. Monty's definitely fits the bill! Perhaps they will film a spoof when Harry met Sally London equivalent here to similarly raise its profile! I highly recommend it!

Fabulous Shabbat dinner at Monty's. 4 courses of traditional Jewish food with the juiciest of chickens for main course. Generous portions and even some to take home in a take home box. Good service from an attentive owner and well worth a visit.

Been eyeing up Monty’s for a while so was excited to finally drop by today. Lovely guys working at the Spitalfields location, they were still opening up for the day but cracked on making my sandwich. Went all out and got the Reuben Special. Was so delicious, I savoured every bite and am already looking forward to visiting again. Desperate for a Monty’s t-shirt but it’s sold out online!

Having been told how great Monty's is on walking into the restaurant/deli I thought it looked amazing, we were greeted by the manageress who was expecting us and shown to our table immediately. Offered drinks and then the menu.

We travelled far across london to go to Montys, having seen it on a tv show and been drawn in by the salt beef image. It did not disappoint. Well priced, soooooo tasty and good service. We both had the salt beef Reuben. It was everything we’d dreamed of. Enjoy.

Six of us were there today to be served exceptionally well by Daniella. The food was also excellent including egg & onion for starter but the chopped liver was to die for. More bread with the large portion would be most welcome next time. Then the salt beef sandwich with mustard on rye bread brought back wonderful memories and there was lots of salt beef. So, see you again very soon.

i had salt beef sandwich was ok but luckas very poor hard as rocks i be honest you can get better down brick lane for half the price in a decent bagel or bread

Hot Dog! Reuben! Sauerkraut! Pickles! Latkes! Egg Cream! We had it all. Plus, desert and bagels to go. I almost thought I was back in Miami during the ‘60’s. Very clean. The owner was very pleasant.

We ate at the Monty's stand in Spitafield's Market. The wait time was long for two sandwiches (it was the height of lunch hour during the week). They were tasty, but a bit less flavor that the corned beef and pastrami that we are used to from home. Very expensive but fun to try.

Excellent friendly service and great food in a diner type environment. Great versions of the classics; salt beef, chicken soup, latkes, egg and onion. Lovely desserts of baked cheesecake and malted chocolate mousse. Not many of these places left so do go! We’ll be back!!!

Great unobtrusive service. Comfortable atmosphere, delightfully run-down but expensive decor. Salt beef sandwich very nice with good salt beef, not too salty. Only criticism, publicity photographs show big juicy slices, this salt beef carved into very small pieces. This is a shame and makes the sandwich extremely messy to eat. But the chicken soup - a rather salty broth and not resembling my grandma's tasty and somewhat thicker soup. The matzo balls, oh dear, only tasted slightly matzo ballish. Texture and flavour woefully lacking, plus heavy evenly round balls that sank. They should be uneven in texture and much lighter. My grandma's were delicious, she used a bit of ground almonds and fried onion to make them extra tasty. The matzo balls are OK, but people must have no idea of what they are missing.

It is expensive for what it is, but it is filling. Service is abrupt but polite and gets the job done. Food on the otherhand is great, proper salt beef sandwiches and latkes and great chicken soup. See if they have any offers on before you go too as they often come up.

Yüksek puana aldanıp kahvaltı için gittim. Çalışanlar inanılmaz güleryüzlü ve ilgili ancak ürünler tam tersi sıradandı.

Meine jetzige Bewertung bezieht sich nicht auf das vermutlich "originale" Monty's Deli, sondern auf den Stand im Old Spitalfields Market an der Liverpool Street. Trotzdem wird das Angebot wohl deckungsgleich sein.

Delicious food every time we come here - when you need to scratch that itch for an authentic NY style deli experience. Perfect bloody Marys just enough tabasco, delicious Ruebens, bagels and lox, latkes, beers, cheesecake I could go on.

Had my parents visiting and whilst my mom has been here for 20 years now and is a British Citizen she can never get over her love of an authentic New York Reuben Sandwich and Monty’s Deli hit the spot. Great food and service - highly recommend!

Fuimos a Monty's por recomendación de un amigo. Tan contentos de haberlo hecho. Pedimos comida para ir, ya que viajar a casa. Tuve la carne salada Reuben, mis compañeros eligió el pastrón. Este sándwich está repleto de deliciosas carnes, sabrosa choucroute y queso suizo. (Con pickle al lado). Mejor sandwich que he probado en mucho tiempo.

Picadas de hígado de ternera Sal decente, alas de pollo Media pobre. Media sopa. Dulces media. Fue un trago y desaparecido.

This is the sort of place I love. Very friendly staff and good service. The food was quite special. I recommend the chopped livers and also the seafood platter. Finished of with blitzes . Great. Went away well filled.

Popped in for lunch as I'd heard great things about the sandwiches and it definitely didn't disappoint. Beer on draught was also very good!

Wow, really great Jewish food. I recommend the chopped liver and Reuben sandwich, especially the salt beef. Its a bit difficult to find, but definitey worth the effort.

Éramos un grupo de cuatro que han oído de la reputación de este lugar y decidió hacer el viaje en un soleado domingo (que no estaba conduciendo).

It came highly recommended so we left from the wilds of Surrey to Hoxton ............................ and well worth the drive. Food, Staff and atmosphere superb - could not fault anything. And not at all pricey. Will suffer that 2hr. drive again.

OK - I know it's not the same location, but their stall in Spitalfields was great and I can't see how else to recommend it - the food is amazing, the staff on Sunday were super friendly and helpful and we met a load of family there for brunch and it was spot-on. Many thanks, Monty's.

Il posto è particolare, molto curato anche se nella versione "shabby", e in una zona fuori dai soliti giri. Il pastrami è molto buono e va senz'altro assaggiato, anche se il conto è salato come la carne...

Esta es una ubicación normalmente ir a pero estábamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho una agradable sorpresa que superó nuestras expectativas. Obviamente una ubicación con pubs de moda y el jengibre cerdo también allí.

Tiene un restaurante ambiente y aunque fui para el almuerzo me imagino que tiene un ambiente estupendo por las noches.

Perfect salt beef, fantastic pickles, the best chicken soup and great service. Wish it was nearer me.

If you want superbly sourced yet simple food, in a cool room, served by lovely bright young things then you should wander down to Montys. The soundtrack completes the vibe, its just calmly cool, not showboating cool, the kind of cool you keep coming back...

I can imagine Russ and Daughters New York being in my top 5 places I wish i could eat at everyday, Finally i found a place that can resemble it in London, yeah the fish selection is not as large, but the fish platter does the job, Pickles are real, and the Latkes are spot on, add to it a really classic design and good service and this is it. dont forget to try the eggs and onion side nosh!

Popped in for lunch with friends and their kids on Saturday. My salt beef Rueben was excellent, the two salt beef hashes were also great and my partners scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast was top notch. Look forward to returning.

I remember when I was a kid fifty years ago, we would once in a while stop off at Blooms to pick up a salt beef sandwich. It was a simple affair of salt beef and bread. The beef was pink and it crumbled into little pieces. It was amazing.

We had such an amazing lunch here - delicious sandwiches, the chicken soup was awesome and the cucumber salad and pickles were addictive. All topped with a moreish cheesecake. Such nice buzzing atmosphere and the little details in the decor really add to the charm of the place. Would come back everyday if we were closer!

I had heard about this place many times, including time outs top 100 restaurants so wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. People described this as a cafe but it's nicer than this would suggest. The counter seats are great as you can see the enormous sandwiches being constructed. The salt beef is so tender and the sandwiches are really well filled. The pickle is a great addition too. Would love to come back to try some of the other offerings but have a feeling I'd come back to the salt beef sandwich as its a winner. If their sandwich is this good, I'd love to try the shabbat dinner!

Yo entramos en Montys para desayuno de esta mañana. Éramos tres, dos buscando comida, y para mí, tío buscando algo ligero y beber.

The only deli in London that approaches or even matches Montreal standards. Really delicious and a wonderful place to have so close to the City. The Reuben is solid. Go!

great servings for the price, a nice quaint ambience and a pretty authentic feel to the food. The pastrami was especially nice.

Lunch yesterday to experiment with new cuisine for 3 Catholics and we were not disappointed. We travelled quite far to get here but now we know the way we will be back. Food was great and the waitress very patient and helped us make our choices. The salt beef was delicious - actually all the food was excellent. Finished off the day with trip to nearby Geffrye museum. Highly recommend.

After an awfully long wait for our food we were charged 12.5% for service. The food was ok but the service was atrocious. When we left a 10% tip (considering the service we received we thought even 10% was totally undeserved) we were then humiliated when a member of staff ran out in the street after us, calling at us, demanding we left the full 12.5% tip. It was extremely embarrassing. Outrageous. Would never go back.

Had a great lunch here; not a morsel left on anyone’s plate.Following traditional Jewish East End roots, the menu relies heavily on meat and the restaurant is set out across four-seater booths, with a few smaller tables in front of the bar. It’s a cool interior, that hasn’t been refurbished to sparkling and therefore retains character. Tried the chicken soup, followed by chopped liver in toast. Up there with my mother’s, almost. This is a fun place with attention to detail and some fine food.

Was a really bustling deli. Great service. Food excellent. Chopped liver was superb and the Reubens were fantastic - we ordered one each of the pastrami and salt beef so we could taste both. The salt beef version was outstanding- meat was perfect and dressing, cheese etc made it a meal in itself.Well worth a visit to experience traditional food!

I was waiting for this place to open. I'm a big fan of NYC-style sandwiches and they did not disappoint. The filter coffee isn't great, would suggest maybe a change of roaster or brewing fresh coffee more often. The biggest disappointment, however, was the owner speaking condescendingly to two elderly locals who came in. Hoxton is in the midst of rapid gentrification, many of these old locals are being pushed out and the owner of Monty's should keep that in mind.

Everything really great, but ‘stewed’, ‘old’ filter coffee.Make a fresh pot!Spoilt an otherwise excellent brunch.

I visited Monty's on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar. We were welcomed by attentive and friendly staff. The potato latkes were incredible and friend to perfection with sour cream and apple sauce on the side. The chopped liver was as good as my grandma used to make and was absolutely perfect. My friend and I had a Reuben Special sandwich each which was generous and delicious. I haven't eaten food as good as this since I was last at the Carnegie Deli in New York, and I'm happy that London now has its own similar style restaurant. I had a brief chat with the owner who was incredibly friendly and was clearly passionate about the business. I will certainly be returning ASAP, this place is incredible.

Don’t think there are many Jewish style deli. I had pastrami sandwich. Good portion. Not too much or too small, and very tasty.

Salt beef sandwich one of the very best you will have. Place was rammed. Cool as you can get. Great value for London but OMG the salt beef almost drove me to tears it was so delicious. People were really great too. No hanging round but not rushed either.It's a no frills restaurant with superb food.

We both went for the Rueben special. It was too much meat for me personally but if you are a meat lover a good option. Side of mixed pickles and coleslaw were also very tasty.

Monty's deli serves classic Ashkenazi Jewish deli with a New York slant, but executed with gourmet precision:The latkes are hand-grated, with very little flour/matzo meal to bind them. The result is a shatteringly crisp exterior without the interior stodge commonly found elsewhere.The egg-and-onion consisted of chunky egg pieces and chopped spring onion (a refreshing change to the common preparation where there's little to distinguish it from egg mayonnaise), with a thin light mayo dressing, delicately enhanced with just the right amount of horseradish to make this an interesting twist on a classic.The chopped liver was finely ground (I personally prefer a chunkier grind), but perfectly seasoned and very moist: One of the best chopped livers you'll find anywhere.Both of the above were served with chunky challa doorsteps, well toasted, to make these filling starters.We accompanied this with a finely sliced fennel salad, lightly dressed and covered in small capers, which gave a refreshing contrast to the heavy deli fare.Finally my wife and I shared a Reuben Special sandwich - at £13 quite expensive, but again faultlessly executed with home-made rye bread, succulent finely-sliced pastrami and salt beef (corned beef to you Americans), real Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and russian dressing).If quality matters to you, Monty's is Jewish deli with gourmet execution!

We traveled to London from NYC and we live on Jewish delicatessens back home. Montys blew us away. The coleslaw is simply the best there is. Also the decor is top notch.

We read the website very carefully before booking a table for Saturday lunch. We drove 45 minutes across London to discover that there is a market in Hoxton Street, which is absolutely at its peak on Saturdays, causing the road on which the restaurant is situated to be completely closed to traffic. Further, the area is entirely made up of council housing which means there are very, very few parking spaces for non-residents.In short, despite driving round for 15 minutes, after the 45 minutes drive to get there, there was simply nowhere to park and we had to abandon our plans.I rang the restaurant from the car to cancel our table, explaining what had happened. I mentioned to the lady who answered the phone that it would have been helpful if their website highlighted this issue, to which her completely unconcerned reply was, "I thought everyone knew about Hoxton market." Not if you live a 45 minute drive away you don't, love.

Had an exceptional pastrami sandwich. Excellent menu, attentive staff at an affordable price. If you are in the neighborhood, make sure to stop by. Opens at 11:00 am, and have a great selection of bagels.

4 of us - 1 salt beef sandwich was really liked, 1 salt beef Reuben was liked but thought both sandwiches could be bigger, not quite as shown on website, 2 turkey schnitzels were both completely dry and over cooked. Why they should have been over cooked is a puzzle as there were only 5 other people in there, hardly busy! We travelled about an hour to get there, would only get a sandwich again if passing.

Cool little place to stop and grab a bite in Hoxton. Staff are attentive when prompted and food is tasty. Had the French toast which was melt in the mouth gorgeous-v indulgent. Only thing I would change is no coffee refills in keeping with the New York theme. Would recommend.

I recently saw a clip of Tom Kerridge at Maltby market when he met Mark of Montys Deli and thought I'd hunt out the deli when next in the area. I wasn't disappointed when I ordered the monster Reuben Special made up of the delis own salt beef and pastrami. Very worthwhile making the effort to find this place, I'll certainly be heading back for lunch whenever I can.

Ate brunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. My companion and I had a pastrami Rueben sandwich, the salt beef hash and a side of pickles. All the food was very nice and the portions are a good size. The pickles were not what I expected – I wanted a plate of gherkins, but ended up with various pickled vegetables which looked nice and colourful but were not clear on the menu.Overall I thought it was ok value for money. I would’ve said good if a service charge had not been added to my bill which is something I hate seeing in this country, I don’t believe our server went above and beyond to earn this.I liked the décor of the restaurant and how they’ve kept it in the original style even leaving the broken tiles on the walls. I made a reservation online beforehand but still ended up on a small cramped table up front with everyone else when there were plenty of the much more desirable booths empty.Don’t drive here if you can avoid it as the street outside is closed for a market on weekend and parking’s an expensive nightmare.Overall I would eat here again and recommend it to others.

At last got to try...been meaning to since it opened...so went with my Domestic Manager. Will start with my negatives..they had sold out of Latkes (Tears of dismay!) and my Domestic chicken soup is better...Monty;s needs much more chicken flavour!! But ...the Reuben Special and the Braised Brisket, both on their own bread were fantastic,as was the Cucumber Salad.Another nice touch...a girl came in with a dog on a leash and both were served...she with her order and the pooch with a bowl of water.Not too many eateries do this!! Service was fast and staff efficient and friendly.Prices very acceptable. Will be back to try other bits of the menu,,,,but will phone first to book some latkes!! (For those who do not know,latkes are a kind of Potato-based Pancakes ...go and try for yourself!!).

Loved this restaurant. It was originally a Butchers Shop and then a Bakers. They have kept the original decor including a bread making machine. Friendly staff and good service. The food is delicious with enormous portions. The latkes are to die for. Don't come here if you're on a diet! We had starters, mains, wine and lager and the bill, with service came to £70.00. Very reasonable. I think you have to book.

My partner and I had planned a trip to London and was keen to look for somewhere to eat either lunch or an early dinner. I often use Timeout.com to look at reviews and recommendations. There was a section that particularly caught my eye 'The best new restaurants in London' I had a look through and came across Monty's. The thought of an authentic Jewish pastrami was not to be missed. Even though he is a nonpracticing Jew my partner does come from a large Jewish family and we just had to try it, we are meat lovers and appreciate a decent sandwich. We booked our table with ease via opentable and were expected at 1 pm, we happen to be a few mins late! But this was not a problem, we were greeted by the manager Mark and whilst our table was being made ready we were offered a seat at the bar and we enjoyed a glass of cold beer and the rum and shrub cocktail. After about 10 mins our table was ready and we were promptly seen too. The food came to us fast and hot. The portion size is massive and worth the price but overall it would be a treat for us as two sandwiches, too sides and drink came to over £50. The atmosphere was great and the restaurant is aesthetically very nice. We would definitely make the trip again and I will be recommending to everyone. I look forward to returning.

very good salt beef chcken soup nice atmosphere like anew york deli no new green cucumbers when we went not cheap not as good as the old london jewish delis blooms phil rabins ect but ok
