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.

Smoked meat was nothing special compared to many other smoked meat places, but the vibes & service were immaculate. This place incapsulates Montreal like very few do.

Un incontournable à Montréal ! Nous avons opté pour leur fameuse viande tranchée traditionnelle, & elle était tout simplement exceptionnelle, tendre & pleine de saveurs. Le pain de seigle qui l'accompagne & la moutarde ajoutent la touche parfaite à chaque bouchée. Le service était rapide malgré l'affluence, & l'équipe était souriante & efficace. Une expérience authentique & délicieuse dans ce lieu emblématique. À ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de smoked meat !

It's a city staple for a reason. Give it a try. Don't forget to add an order of pickles.

As they say, a must-visit restaurant while in Montreal! If you've been to Katz's in NYC, this feels like a simpler version, but it still delivers high-quality food & a cozy atmosphere. Definitely try the Schwartz Poutine-it's a standout! We had to pay in cash as the card machine was broken, so be prepared for this potential inconvenience. Street parking is manageable, & while lines do form, there's a quick turnover of customers, so the wait isn't too long. Highly recommended for a classic Montreal food experience!
