At Lesters, smoked meat is an art, one perfected for over 95 years. Our whole briskets deliver a deep, rich, classic flavour with exceptional consistency. A deli can’t afford to serve average smoked meat. With Lesters, consistency protects both the customer experience and your reputation.
Our briskets are carefully calibrated to deliver consistent tenderness, uniform muscle fibres, and reliable yield. This allows you to slice with confidence, without unpredictable variations from one piece to the next.
Our briskets work across multiple applications: classic smoked meat sandwiches, poutine toppings, submarine sandwiches, club sandwiches, and more. Smaller end pieces that aren’t ideal for traditional slicing can be repurposed creatively—reducing waste while innovating menus without losing the Montreal deli DNA.
Every deli has its own identity. Lesters offers a broad range of brisket profiles, including Red Brisket, Old-Style Brown Coated, Old-Style Black Coated, and Old-Style Dry. Choose the flavour profile that best reflects your brand and make it your restaurant’s signature flavour.
