I recently visited Schwartz's Deli during a trip to Montreal, & I must say, it lived up to its legendary reputation. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the aroma of delicious smoked meat wafting through the air. I ordered their classic smoked meat sandwich, & it was absolutely divine. The meat was perfectly tender & packed with flavor, complemented by tangy mustard & fresh rye bread. The service was friendly & efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. If you're in Montreal, Schwartz's is a must-visit for any food lover craving an authentic taste of Montreal's culinary heritage.View more

Great smoked meat & pickles. It's not a NYC deli, but it has a quality of its own that is nice.View more

When it hits it hits. I don't know what it is but the inconsistency is what takes it away from me. Over the decades this has been an iconic place to visit with friends or anyone travelling to the city you would say go here or across to Main's but Maine is now closed ... I prefer the take out section rather than the sit in If you're lucky then you'll get one hot & really tasty .. if you're not so lucky it'll still be good . Katz's deli in NYC & Schwartz's in Montreal are both amazing for pastrami & smoked meat So if you enjoy meat stop by & make sure stop by next door at Coco Rico & get that dark meat chicken sandwich with extra hot sauce & peppers You're welcomeView more

This place is an old time deli with delicious smoked meat. The chicken & steak was good as well. I was nervous about trying the smoke meat. But is was so good & the service was good. From the time I entered the deli to my leaving every employee made sure I was ok & taken care of. I heard this was the best smoke meat in Montréal & I have to agree based on my experience.View more

This was a really fun stop. The place hearkens to a different time & feel. A true Montreal deli with atmosphere in abundance. The food was good, but be prepared to pay for experience as much as your meal. A sandwich, pickle, & can of coke was just over $35 for one person. It was worth the price of admission, but I am not sure there is enough here to keep me coming back.View more

I came to Schwartz's Deli - Sandwiches - Steaks for lunch a while ago & tried their Smoked Meat Sandwich. It was delicious. The smoked meat was amazing, there was a good portion of food, & it was excellent value. Another must try place in Montreal & I'd give it 9/10View more

I have no idea what happened to this place but damn it's nowhere near as good as it used to be. The meat was dry, unflavoured & overall disappointing. I remember back in the day thinking this was the best smoked meat sandwich I've ever had but it barely passes as a good sandwich anymore Wait. That's the exact review someone just posted. I went there & I can concur 100% how true that person's review was. On top of that the staff were so darn grumpy today. The cashier was nice but the guys taking the order & prepping the sandwiches were just so grumpy. I got 4 sandwiches & a frozen pack of 10 slices of deli meat & it was just under $100. Wow! But just refer to the first paragraph. I just cut & pasted a previous reviewers comments because it was so true! I couldn't have stated it any different or any different.View more

The smoked meat sandwiches are an absolute must-try-flavorful, tender, & perfectly spiced. The bustling atmosphere adds to the experience, making it feel like a true Montreal institution. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Schwartz's is a culinary journey worth savoring.View more

Ceux qui visitent Montréal ne devront pas manquer cette institution du smoked-meat nord-américain. Schwartz's Deli est un petit endroit devant lequel se tient traditionnellement une queue venue goûter à ses sandwichs légendaires. Heureusement pour moi, il y avait peu de personnes à ce moment-là.
En général, c'est pas terrible mais moins bon que ce que je pensais.
Le service est rapide mais assez ordinaire. Ils devraient ajouter de l'air conditionnée car il peut faire chaud quand le temps est humide. Les sandwichs sont bons, quoique pas les meilleurs que j'ai goûtés. J'aurais préféré la viande un peu moins sèche & le prix est un peu plus cher mais pour les curieux, ça en vaut la peine.

Malgré que ce resto demeure une institution à Montréal, il en reste que la qualité est médiocre, les prix élevés pour ce que l'on vous sert, le service horrible, on se sent bousculé. Les smoked meat sont hyper gras, ce qui n'est pas le cas des autres délis à Montréal. Ambiance étouffante.
