A friend of ours goes out for brunch every Sunday and invited us on a cold and wet Vancouver day. We had been wanting to go to Mensch forever so we excitedly said, yes! I am glad I did a little online reconnaissance ahead of time because their brunch menu was not up on the chalkboard. It was on a piece of paper at the cash. I got the Breakfast Reuben (which was half a sandwich) which came with pastrami, an over easy egg, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, Dijonese sauce on rye bread for $12. I also got a side Matzah ball soup for an additional $3.There is one very long communal table that runs down the length of the restaurant and the place was pretty packed with people. My soup was seasoned perfectly but I only had one piece of carrot in it. I ate my soup as I waited for them to call our number for our order. The Reuben was delicious but I wish I could have put a regular mustard on it because the Dijon was a bit lacking for all that amazing slow brined, smoked and hand-cut hot pastrami. I love having my sandwiches dripping with mustard!I wish I could say that I liked the coleslaw and the pickle which I normally adore. The coleslaw was so one note and the pickle just tasted of white vinegar. I LOVE Kosher pickles. This is the first time I met a pickle I did not like.This is a very casual dining experience of Jewish deli food. The brunch prices are very reasonable but I was hoping for more flavour for my foodie buck. Their new Gastown location is fantastic and worth the trek in the rain. Going with friends was a blast but it is not the kind of place you eat and talk for hours. I am glad I finally got to Mensch Jewish Delicatessen. Eating there was quite the experience and that meat was pretty damn phenomenal. I liked it, am glad I went but not sure I will go again. suziethefoodie.com
All the meat served is an in-house smoked brisket – pastrami. A half sandwich was plenty of food though it isn’t cheap and the meat was dry though it had a nice smoky flavour. Matzo soup broth was very clean and fresh. Nice pickles and I appreciate that while they don’t sell alcohol, it is available for purchase at the Irish Heather next door.
Nice little deli, menu options are limited and although a little expensive the food is really god. You can taste the quality in the meat, it’s not overly fatty or covered in salt. You can actually taste the meat….extra hot mustard to set it off….good job boys!
I was pretty excited about this place when I found it but it was a big let down. I feel like the pastrami sandwich’s were made by someone who has never had a pastrami sandwich. I’m down for thick fatty slices, however, this was drier then my mom’s roast beef. Also, 16$ for a full sandwich? Come on, I know you are in Gastown, but sandys do not cost that much. I can’t even get started on the pickles! Please go to New York visit Katz or even Canters in LA and have a pastrami sandwich. Then come back and copy those or something.
A hot pastrami sandwich and coke ran me $17. My friend got a bagel lox for about $15. Menu was very limited. The sandwich was fantastic esp if you are a meat lover. The meat in the sandwich is fantastic, almost like Prime Rib. However, i cant see this place surviving with their limited menu and very high unreasonable prices for lunch. 2 people should be spending 40 bucks for two sandwiches. esp when you are competing in the Vancouver foodie market. The owner was complaining that everyone goes next door for a donair. Its simple, the donair there is delicious and is 6 to 7 bucks. Hope Mensch changes for the better.
