Came here around 12 PM & waiting 10 mins to be seated. Place inside was crowded, very little space to move around after being seated. Service was quick & attentive. We ordered the smoked sandwich (most famous item) & the meat was good though it lacked some flavor. We also ordered the steak (too salty) & chicken (too bland) combo. The poutine was good.

It had been a while since I had been to Schwartz's. With friends visiting from Nova Scotia & British Columbia, it was a real treat & a real Montreal experience. The food & the service was great & was as I remembered it.

Smoked meat is great. Just like you would expect. Do yourself a favor & don't wait in the stupid line. Go to the next door over & order it carryout. It's super fast, & you can eat in one of the many parks in Montréal. There are a few close enough

I hesitate to write this review, especially given the restaurant's iconic status, but I owe it to the locals & visitors alike. After giving it a second try to make sure, it's clear this place isn't what it used to be. Once renowned for its craftsmanship, today the sandwiches feel rushed, with inconsistently sliced meat-sometimes too thick, & often too dry. The once-perfect balance of flavor has been replaced by a lean, lackluster bite that disappoints. To add to the frustration, the wait times are long, & the prices are steep. It's hard not to feel that the focus has shifted, prioritizing tourists over loyal locals, leaving the food & experience a shadow of its former self. For those seeking an authentic & satisfying deli experience, I recommend giving Lester's Deli a try-you'll taste the difference.

Go by flow....my relatives said this is the famous deli serving the best smoked meat sandwich in Montreal. Yes, it's looks famous after acknowledged by so many old newspapers & posters pasted on the walls. It has two shoplots; one for dine-in & another for takeout or quick-bite at the counter. After 11 am is impossible for us to get a table. An old shop condition, ambient isn't pleasant, very squeezy with crowded of people queuing. Washroom beside the counter is busy too. Omg! first-time to see so much smoked meats piling up with two thinly bread. Really need to praise for their freshie pinky smoked meat. But the price for this sandwich isn't cheap, so as everything here. Anyway, already tourist spot. We also ordered poutine.....it tastes so good & quite filling ( in my opinion, poutine better than smoked meat sandwich. Lots of smoked meat given too ).

Avevo paura delle lunghe attese fuori dal locale ma in realtà ho aspettato solo 5 minuti per cenare. Il servizio è veloce e la carne pazzesca, da provare sicuramente! C'è la possibilità di fare asporto degli stessi prodotti nel locale di fianco al ristorante.

There was a long line but if you're a small group & willing to sit at the bar you can get in almost immediately! The customer service was great & the food was amazing. The poutine & smoked meat sandwiches were both good & arrived incredibly quick (under 5 minutes after ordering). Definitely stop in if you're in the area!
