Schwartz's Deli propose le sandwich à la viande fumée montréalais emblématique préparé selon un processus de salaison traditionnel s'étendant sur dix jours. Chaque portion comprend une poitrine frottée avec un mélange d'épices signature et fumée lentement jusqu'à obtenir une tendreté optimale. Cet établissement maintient un menu direct centré sur ce produit phare accompagné de garnitures essentielles comme de la salade de chou fraîche et de la moutarde jaune. L'environnement intérieur reflète une esthétique fonctionnelle et très fréquentée définie par des sièges serrés et un décor utilitaire conçu pour un service efficace. Les clients reçoivent des portions de bœuf salé tranché à la demande pour garantir la texture et la température requises par les standards locaux. L'expérience culinaire repose sur cette méthode de préparation constante qui définit l'établissement depuis des décennies en privilégiant la qualité de la protéine primaire.
Schwartz's Deli est largement considéré comme une institution légendaire de Montréal et une destination incontournable pour quiconque recherche une expérience authentique de viande fumée. Bien que le restaurant soit fréquemment bondé et qu'il y ait souvent de longues files d'attente, la plupart des clients estiment que la viande tendre et savoureuse ainsi que l'atmosphère nostalgique valent largement l'attente. Le service est généralement décrit comme rapide et efficace, bien que l'espace soit particulièrement étroit et nécessite le partage de tables, ce qui contribue à son charme animé et convivial. Si les avis sur les prix et la taille des portions varient, et qu'une minorité de visiteurs a vécu des expériences de service inégales ou a trouvé que la réputation dépassait la réalité, la majorité des clients loue la qualité des sandwichs, de la poutine et des cornichons, confirmant son statut d'incontournable de la scène culinaire locale.
Visited this restaurant for the 1st time & the food was very delicious. We ordered a smoked meat poutine & a smoked meat sandwich. It was very filling, but worth the price. Will definitely recommend visiting this place if you're visiting Montreal. It is a place you won't want to miss. Shoutout to all the staff who work here, they did an amazing job 👏 👏👏👏👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌
This place absolutely lived up to the hype. The smoked meat was tender, flavorful, & piled high on every sandwich. Every bite was packed with flavor, & the portions were huge.
The poutine was also excellent & paired perfectly with the sandwiches. Despite how busy it was, the service moved quickly & the overall experience felt like a must-do Montreal food stop.
If you're visiting Montreal & want to try an iconic smoked meat sandwich, this is the place. Great food, generous portions, & a memorable experience from start to finish.
You can't visit Montreal & not go to Schwartz's Deli. Waiting in line to get inside is well worth the wait. In line outside, we were approached by what I can assume was the owner - doing a headcount & gladhandling the patrons. Once inside we sat down & ordered the smoked meat sandwich, with side coleslaw & pickle. The coleslaw was excellent & the pickles are half the reason people visit. The poutine is a must. A staple of the community, go hungry, leave full.

Visited Schwartz Deli on a Sunday afternoon at 3 PM. There were 3 of us & we waited for 30 minutes outside with only a few groups ahead. The place was crowded. We were seated at a shared table with 6 seats.
We ordered two smoked meat sandwiches & one poutine. The smoked meat was tender, the bread was thin & dry, & portions were small. The poutine was disappointing. Fries were overcooked & tasted burnt.
The bill came to about $50 (tax included, before tip), which felt overpriced for the quality & small portion size. Service was mediocre & rushed. The restaurant seemed more focused on turnover than experience.
While Schwartz Deli has a long-standing reputation & history, in my opinion, it was underwhelming & didn't live up to the hype. There are many other great restaurants worth exploring. This was a one-time visit, & unfortunately, not somewhere I'd return to.
After an 8-hour flight, I was desperate for comfort food. Having only seen poutine in YouTube videos, I felt lucky to stumble upon this place-full of authenticity & history.
The staff were very welcoming, & as a solo diner I quickly got a seat at the counter. I ordered the Schwartz poutine, which arrived almost instantly & completely delivered. The combination of cheese, fries, gravy, & smoked meat came together in rich, satisfying bites. My only complaint is that I wished the portion were twice the size.
Prices are slightly on the higher side, but considering the portion & sheer indulgence, it's easy to justify. Definitely worth it.
Visited Mar 6'26 for lunch after our sight seeing from Basilica Montreal. Ordered Sand Viande Fumee, Schwartz's poutine & the pickles (cornichon). Love all of them!!!! Even I packed one more Viande Fumee for our flight to Rome. Be sure to arrive before lunch or you find yourself waiting for table.
I did not see this one coming ! Visiting this place was not really my top priority I just wanna try because so many people recommend this to try out. I am soooo happy I made the right decision to try. Upto now I am still dreaming about this smoky meat flavor. I got the poutine & it was phenomenal! Truly this is the Montreal's a must try !
Pire poutine à vie. Le cuisinier dis que c'est la meilleure poutine & incomparable… petite quantité de fromage . Fromage qui squeeck pas, le fromage fond. Patate brulé . Odeur de pipi à l'intérieur du resto . 13.75$ gaspille
