About

Schwartz's Deli serves the iconic Montreal smoked meat sandwich prepared using a traditional curing process that spans ten days. Each serving features brisket rubbed with a signature blend of spices and slow-smoked until tender. This establishment maintains a straightforward menu centered on the core product alongside essential sides like fresh coleslaw and yellow mustard. The interior environment reflects a functional, high-traffic aesthetic defined by tight seating arrangements and utilitarian decor meant for efficient service. Patrons receive portions of cured beef hand-sliced to order to ensure the specific texture and temperature required by local standards. The culinary experience relies on this consistent method of preparation that has defined the establishment for decades while focusing entirely on the quality of the primary protein. Every element serves the specific purpose of highlighting the distinct, savory profile of the seasoned meat.

Get what everyone recommends. You won't be disappointed. Smoked meat sandwich, poutine, pickles & cole slaw with a cherry coke. I wish we were here for more than one meal!

Vi la recomendación cuando pregunté en INTERNET qué podría comer en Montreal y realmente sí, valió la pena. Hice fila pero fue muy poca porque avanzamos rápido te sirven rápido está muy bueno pedí el sandwich tradicional de carne ahumada y está muy bueno. A mi parecer hay varios acompanamientos, yo pedí papas a la francesa y también ensalada de col y no está delicioso la acompanamiento pero el sandwich si vale la pena

The sandwich was good, but it was lowkey mid.
But do keep in mind that this was the first time I had a smoked meat sandwich.

Best smoked meat I've had. Would recommend getting the sandwich & showing up early because the line gets pretty crowded.

Circa 15 minuti di attesa per poter entrare, ma la fila dietro si allunga molto rapidamente.
A sinistra entrata per il Take-Away, a destra per il servizio al tavolo.
L'ambiente é piccolo, é una caratteristica ma inevitabilmente si deve condividere il tavolo con altre persone.
Le porzioni sono abbondanti
La Smoked Meat é davvero morbida e saporita, da provare.
Conto nella norma per Montreal

Absolutely worth waiting in line first for the food, second for the service & atmosphere. We recommend the plate, with bread, pickles, & for sure order the coleslaw. Add mustard. The famous soda is a perfect accompaniment.
