Schwartz's Deli

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.

I didn't see what the hype was about. Our sandwiches were just so dry & nothing special. I have been wanting to try this for years & it didn't live up to the expectation unfortunately.

Came for my birthday from BC with my best friend. Wonderful food & service. The seating area could use an update.

Hands down the best Montreal smoked meat sandwich I've ever had. The meat was super tender & the spices added character & flavour. Also had a side of coleslaw & a pickle both of which were excellent. Worth lining up for (the line moves quick & you share tables with others creating a community feel). The staff were friendly & attentive & gave great recommendations.

We like the food. The guy who served our table was excellent. He was warm & welcoming. We took out a couple of stars for service because of one waiter who was acting really rude when taking counts of people outside the restaurant. If the guy does not know how to treat people with courtesy, he needs training for customer service. This is your job. Learn to do it well!

La viande est bonne mais pas de quoi s'extasier. Viande fumée ? Imperceptible, pas d'assaisonnement. 18$ le sandwich. C'est sympa mais je pense qu'il y a de meilleures adresses à Montréal à découvrir sans faire de queue.

The meat was good but it simply didn't meet my expectations given the hype. I was expecting some monster sandwich & I left hungry. & it was not cheap either. Maybe it was the ambience. The line was long to get in & the place was packed & we had to sit at a very cramped bar. Service was incredible though the young woman serving us was incredible. Was it delicious, yes. Was the service good, yes. Was it worth my money, probably not. Would I go back, not likely. I would rather sit & enjoy what I eat as opposed to feeling like I am caught in a rat race. But in the end I am glad I tired it
