Very popular place for Montreal smoked meat sandwiches! Very small, old deli with big history. Delicious food!
Service is very friendly!View more

The meat is absolutely great. But I wonder what's with Montreal's obsession with oily blackened french fries? Doesn't everybody understand that 1) The best fries are the golden yellow colored fries & 2) the reason they are soaked black with oil is because the oil is overused & fries taste worse because of that?View more

Quality of the smoked meat sandwich has certainly fallen from what I remember. They only seems to give the lean & dry pieces for the sandwich. It's not juicy at all but chewy & lacks flavor. The bread is also very basic. Yes its still an iconic place but don't get the sandwich...the plates are better because you can choose to get juicier better quality pieces.View more

Lovely food, great flavor you can choose the smoked meat to be lean which tends to be dry, medium fat or full fat. The flavor of the full fat sandwich is juicy. Very flavorful. The atmosphere is buzzing, you can sit at the bar or the tables which seat 6 at a time. There are about 10 tables. The place was packed & the service was speedy.View more

Like an old time N.Y. deli, Schwartz's did not disappoint. The smoked beef sandwich is large enough to share.View more

Life-Changing Sandwich - A Reason to Return to Montreal!
Wow, just WOW. I still can't believe how incredible a huge hunk of meat between simple bread could taste. Seriously, this sandwich has given me a legitimate reason to come back to Montreal.
Despite the long lines, the service was incredibly quick & efficient. This place is all about no-nonsense, high-quality food, & they absolutely nail it. Don't change a thing - you clearly know exactly what you're doing!View more

Very busy tourist destination. Great value for what you get $15 for a sub with tons of meat.
Be prepared to line up for your food.View more

The worst smoked meat sandwich I've ever had in Montreal. Dry, crumbly overly salty meat, soggy pickle, weird cole slaw, greasy fries . Just horrible. Three servings cost over $80. Not what it used to be. Go to the Platesu.
