Simply amazing, It's the best place to eat. It's not fancy, or a place for your first date for sure, but if you want good eat, this is the place. I can't recommend it more. Order the big place with their amazing pickles.

My husband and I visited Montreal for our anniversary and were told to stop in at this place for lunch. We took the advice to go before 11:30 and got a table and service immediately. By the time we left it was a line out the door though! I am usually not a red meat gal but this smoked meat... More

So, ... put aside the Celine Dion takeover , ... the smoked meat is so good, you should plotz! This is a trilingual (French/English/Yiddish) deli that would put anywhere in NY to shame for food and atmosphere. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, we asked for the ONLY single table (right next to the kitchen, btw!) because it looked *romantic*,... More

I have been going to Schwarts from time to time for the last 40 years. Do not expect to lounge around. If you want lunch, best show up around 11h30 to get a table. It is very quick but the smoke meat melts in your mouth. They also have take out which I also take advantage of.

Their smoked meat,... More

Main deli or Schwartz’s.. Simple follow my lead and buy one sandwich at each location.. Then sit down and do a taste test. If you have been eating at Schwartz’s for 40 years like I have you will have noticed Schwartz is living of it’s reputation. Once the king of all smoked meat and now the bottom of the pile..... More

Juicy tasty Quick and like going back to the 1940's. Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich is awesome and one busy place

I remember the first time I went in 79 and the sandwich was huge! In 82 I noticed it getting smaller. In 85 I said never again. this past weekend I took my husband who had never been and we will never go again I put more meat on the sandwich i make at home!!!
