Superb.. waited about 1/2hr outside on a Saturday at -16c & it was worth it. Took a lb of meat home & made sandwiches for the fam & they loved it. As a solo customer I sat at the'bar' & it was pretty squishy & I felt crowded but I totally understand the need for them to seat as many as possible

The smoked meat sandwich is the best

Une institution de Montréal, quand on entre à l'intérieur, on ressent l'histoire qu'à cet endroit. Le combo smoke Meat + coke au cerise est un incontournable pour tout amateur de viande fumée.

En quête du meilleur smoked meat à Montréal

Depuis le début janvier, un ami & moi nous sommes lancés dans une quête : trouver le meilleur smoked meat à Montréal. & quoi de mieux que de commencer ce voyage chez le mythique Schwartz!

Après quelques breuvages dans un pub, la faim au ventre, nous avons commandé le classique : chacun son sandwich, avec une frite, une salade de chou & un cornichon à partager. Tout simplement divin. La viande n'était ni trop grasse ni trop sèche - parfaitement équilibrée. La juste dose de moutarde venait compléter le tout à merveille.

& que dire de l'atmosphère ? On a l'impression de replonger dans les années 50-60. Pour un Montréalais d'origine, j'ai clairement découvert cet endroit beaucoup trop tard.

Que vous soyez de passage ou habitant de la métropole, une chose est sûre : il faut y aller, & vite!

Un incontournable à Montréal... Il y avait encore une fil à l'extérieur lorsque j'y suis passé. Comme c'est souvent le cas. Le service? & bien il faut être flexible & prêt à vivre l'expérience. Ça fait partie du charme.

Delicioso, un clasico

Loved the smoked meat sandwich & the regular poutine. Better than the big name in NYC.

The bread is very soft, & the layers of beef are well seasoned, tender, & rich with a nice fatty aroma. Personally, I think it tastes even better with a bit more yellow mustard.

The fat distribution could be more even - some parts were a little dry & firm, while others were quite fatty.

Highly recommend having it with pickles, which really balance the richness of the beef.

Just overrated & overpriced. Pickles not included. Small sandwich. There are way better options around for the same price.

I love the food here & especially the pickles... I bought a few jars to take home about a year go & just cracked into third, but to my surprise, they were completely spoiled :( The expiration was for 2027, & my pantry is temp controlled so I don't know what went wrong with them. I would suggest the owner contact the manufacturer, as someone could eat one & get botulism.

Beyond the fame & tradition, I have to say this was the most disappointing sandwich I've ever had. Maybe it's great if you're comparing it to McDonald's but realistically there is nothing notable about a hunk of meat thrown between two half slices of extremely mediocre bread. I don't get what's all the rage.

Niesamowicie dobra kanapka - mi?so kruche, delikatne, pe?ne smaku. Proste a niezwyk?e. Niestety obs?uga wydawa?a si? ma?o przyst?pna - da?o si? wyczu?, ?e zaraz po jedzeniu chcieli aby opu?ci? lokal bo s? kolejki i przewija si? du?o klientów. Cena troch? z kosmosu za kawa?ek chleba z mi?sem. Nawet z tradycj?. Koniec ko?ców by?o warto.

I came here to eat smoked meat on the recommendation of my local friends. Luckily, I didn't have to wait in line at all. It really is as they say.

Nécessaire. Vital. Viscéral. Le sandwich incontournable à Montréal. On n'a rien fait de mieux depuis l'invasion du jambon beurre. J'en ai pleuré de joie. J'y suis retourné le lendemain, le surlendemain & les 4 années suivantes. Allez-y les yeux fermés 💖
