L'incontournable Schwartz vous sert la meilleure viande fumée depuis 1928, sa recette est originale et ses épices uniques. Imaginez, vous passez la porte et vous vous retrouvez 75 ans en arrière sur l'historique --Main-- de Montréal. Un vrai monument à Montréal qui a reçu des célébritiés et des visiteurs de tous les coins de la planète.
Schwartz's Deli est largement décrite comme une institution montréalaise, célèbre pour sa viande fumée emblématique, une ambiance de deli old school et des sandwiches généreux que beaucoup décrivent comme fondants en bouche; malgré les longues files, le service est généralement rapide et efficace et la file avance souvent rapidement, avec un comptoir à emporter juste à côté pour les pressés. Les avis saluent la tendreté et l'assaisonnement marqué de la viande, le pain de seigle traditionnel, ainsi que les accompagnements comme les cornichons, les frites et la poutine, tandis que certains notent une graisse variable de la viande ou des portions inégales et parfois un service peu constant; dans l'ensemble, l'endroit demeure un passage obligé pour les amateurs de viande et un morceau mémorable de l'histoire de Montréal, même si certains estiment que le prix et l'affluence peuvent être des inconvénients.
A classic. An icon. You can't come to Montreal without trying one of the most iconic places. The sandwich is the classic, great size. The plates are for hungrier people. The meat is amazing, tender, flavorful. You can choose from three levels of fat in the meat. The wait in line is totally worth it & if you go in alternative times, maybe you don't have to wait in line.

As good if not better than a NYC deli. There is a wait to get in but be patient its goes fast & you will be rewarded with one of the best smoked meat sandwiches 🥪 you'll ever have. & was it down with a cherry 🍒 cola. You can thank me later.
Montreal smoked meat was divine. Fries were pretty underseasoned & a bit overcooked but the sandwich made up for it. Pickle was meh. The line moves fast but it is an endeavor...
The vibe was super unique, & the food was awesome. We got poutine with smoked meat as well as a smoked meat sandwich, & both were great.
Staff were friendly & we were served really quick.
Le mot qui me vient à l'esprit c'est'overrated'. Oui le smoked meat est bon, mais une file d'attente de 20 minutes, pour ensuite être empilé à une table à 6 assis avec des étrangers (si vous êtes 2 ou 4 ou x, ils vont trouver d'autres gens pour remplir la table), ensuite tu es pressé de commander, c'est cher (16$ juste le sandwich avec rien d'autre), tu reçois ton assiette & tu es pressé de manger pour ensuite t'en aller de là pour que la prochaine horde de gens puisse prendre ta table.
No hagas caso a las críticas regulares o notas bajas. Hay que probarlo. Y pide el sándwich de smoked meat, no hagas como los turistas que no se enteran.
Excelente.
La cola hay que hacerla, pero se pasa antes de lo que crees.
This place is a must go if Montreal
I don't think I had a place more recommended to me on any of my trips I ever been on & it's for good reason.
We got the smoked meat sandwich & a poutine the sandwich was an easily the best one I ever had & the poutine was up there as well.
Despite the lineup being very long for the takeout they are moving different in that kitchen & actually make the food so fast & efficient it's not bad at all & worth the wait.

Can't believe I'm giving 5 stars! But that's what they deserve. Last time I was at Schwartz was 20 some years ago when the place was smelly, greasy & not very clean. Boy, it has changed! Clean tables, waiters wore clean aprons, all too needed AC all around. Service & atmosphere was great, the Schwartz way. Food was, as expected, delicious. I had, um... oh, yeah - Smoked meat sandwich 👍 That hasn't changed. Loved it 😋
Great place for a sandwich…. These are soo big you'll be lucky to finish. tried the pastrami & the Turkey…. Pastrami was by far the better choice..
great service … friendly & helpful considering the pressure they were under with the diner absolutely packed!

I was going to just grab a sandwich to go instead of dining in in the OG diner, but I'm so glad that I waited! I made a new friend at the counter & had a wonderful conversation with them. The service was also amazing & I loved the staff's banter!
The smoked meat sandwich is obviously amazing - considering the big pile of smoked meat sandwiched between the rye, the saltiness of the smoked meat was beautifully adjusted & wasn't overpowering the umami of the meat itself. Would come again in August if I had the time!!
Honestly, the place is pretty overrated. $15 for a smoked meat sandwich is kind of overpriced since the quality doesn't really seem exceptional. The service is just okay, nobody smiles or says hi. Overall just an okay place
