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.

We went on a weekday so there was no wait when we went. Food was worth the hype. Dining in was also a surprisingly good experience.

It's tradition for us to stop by every time we're in Montreal & usually leaves us wanting more. This time we went in with high expectations & left wondering what was missing in our sandwiches. It was still a good sandwich but different in how we remembered it.

El local está algo retirado del circuito turístico y creo que está totalmente sobrevalorado. Hacer una cola de 20 minutos por un bocadillo que no está mal pero que pensaba que iba a estar increíblemente delicioso por lo que había leído previamente. El precio por dos bocadillos, dos refrescos y una poutine fueron casi 60 dólares.
Otra apreciación, solicité la contrasena del wifi y no la quisieron compartir. :-(
Honestamente, no volvería.

Smoked meat sandwich was tasty & good. A bit expensive for a small sandwich. $17.25 CAD including taxes.

Food is okay. Meat was not as tender as everyone was saying. Flavour of the meat yes it was delicious, just the right amount of spices. Portion was a good amount. Try the pickels, they good. Server was busy & got our order wrong. First impression wasn't that good. Had a smoked meat sandwich somewhere else(SMP) the next day & the meat was perfectly tender there. Small dining area at Schwartzs im sure its crazy busy. Restrooms are tiny & dirty.
