Second time to try smoked meat in Montreal, maybe a bit over expectations cuz the first time was a surprise. The bread was dry & meat was a bit salty

Schwartz's is an experience, you line up to get in & often end up sharing a table as most of the tables seat 6 except for the counter. It's not a place to linger, you go in & get smoked meat the way they've been doing it for about 96 years & the only question you'll get asked about the sandwich is whether you want full fat or medium. Still it is for me, one of the best smoked meat sandwiches you can get, served on rye bread with mustard.

Had the smoked meat sandwich the meat was delish & the thickness of the meat was good too, good amount of mustard & slice of bread was a good size too, noticed though over the years they have continually shrunk the size of the sandwich & for what you get for the price now it's not even close to being worth it to get a sandwich from here, they literally give you one slice of rye bread cut in half & plop down an inch of meat on it & charge you 25 dollars, at least a few years ago they would give you 2 slices of bread for the same price

This place is overrated.... The service was excellent! But the food left much to desire. The meat melts in your mouth but it lacks flavour & it didn't taste smoky at all. The sandwiches are meh, very little effort just a bunch of meat some mustard & some white bread. We didn't wait long for a table but you are seated with strangers so it's not the most comfortable spot...

Meat is great but there are not enough sides to add to it, consider adding bread, rice, pita, something. Also the place it too small. You are forced to seat shoulder to shoulder with 2 other strangers. They should expand the restaurant to nearby locations.

I always come here every time I visit Montréal. They have the most delicious smoked meat. The service is very quick, specially during weekdays. I ordered small smoked meat with pickles. They serve it with bread in case you want to make a sandwich with it. But, even the small size platter is too much for one person. Lol I also recommend their coleslaw, as it's creamy & delicious.

Visited Montreal & friend insisted we go to Schwartz, so we did. We got an order of smoked meat Schwatz poutine & the full plate with rye bread to make your own. Both were amazing!!! The smoked meat is done to perfection 👌🏻 staff is friendly & helpful!!

It was blizzarding outside, & there was still a short line to get in. Worth it. Service is super fast though, had the sandwich within a couple minutes of ordering. The smoked brisket is amazing. Melts in your mouth, tender. Piled high on the bread, with mustard... So good. Lives up to the hype.

A gem! We opted to share the large platter (~$24) & it came with the bread shown, we could assemble our own sandwiches & apply as much mustard as our heart desired. $2.50 per pickle & I recommend slicing it up for your sandwiches. Yum! We ordered medium cut (not too fatty) The style of dining is communal, there are 6 person tables that they seat mixed groups (in our case, 3 pairs of strangers) they are full at all times & do this to run efficiently, if you come in solo I noticed you were sent to the high top to sit without much wait in the queue. Notice the plate of fries in the top right corner of the photo? That was our table mates food, so it's cozy & tight, not a place to be able to privately chat, but more so a place to strike up a simple conversation with fellow hungry table mates. One of them told us about the Cotts black cherry pop as a must try, & it was very sweet but did cut the fat of the meat. Poutine fried done just right. Would return & recommend. They have a take out storefront next door also.

I recently visited Schwartz's Deli during a trip to Montreal, & I must say, it lived up to its legendary reputation. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the aroma of delicious smoked meat wafting through the air. I ordered their classic smoked meat sandwich, & it was absolutely divine. The meat was perfectly tender & packed with flavor, complemented by tangy mustard & fresh rye bread. The service was friendly & efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. If you're in Montreal, Schwartz's is a must-visit for any food lover craving an authentic taste of Montreal's culinary heritage.
