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.

Worth the visit! Food is really good, I've tried the sandwich & the poutine, delicious! There's a long queue outside the restaurant anytime but it's worth it. Definitely a must go place when you visit Montreal. The environment is too crowded tho, it ruin the experience a bit, hopefully can arrange better seat in the future.

Got the regular smoked meat sandwich with Mustard for about $13.00. One of the best meat cuts I've ever had & one of the greatest use of Mustard complimenting meat in taste. Attendant at cash register was a little difficult to communicate with not properly paying attention to me. She crumpled up almost threw my receipt in the garbage despite me telling her not to.

As advertised. It had been about 15 years but exactly as I remembered. Long lines so try to time it right. Worth the wait at any rate.

This was hands down one of the best Montreal-style sandwiches & poutines I've ever had! The flavours were incredible, with the sandwich perfectly stacked with tender, flavourful meat, & the poutine had just the right balance of crispy fries, rich gravy, & gooey cheese curds. The place was worth the wait in line, as the vibrant, bustling atmosphere added to the experience. While the prices were slightly higher, the quality & taste made it worth it. It's a spot I'd gladly return to for a memorable meal.
