Anyone who has spent time in Montreal can wax poetic about their first experience with the city’s famous smoked meat and poutine—it’s the same way we Jersey people talk about Taylor ham to anyone who’ll listen. While we’re all talking, the team behind Berg’s in Belmar took action and brought the legendary smoked meat sandwiches, gravy-laden fries, and top-notch matzo ball soup to the Shore. While this is an ideal lunch option, Berg’s is located just around the corner from Belmar’s popular Bar Anticipation (or, Bar A for those familiar). So if you’re in the area looking for a 2am snack, Berg’s is your spot for late-night poutine and fries.
