Amazing & unique deli experience, true to form. The brisket sandwich was amazing & true to hype. I was so amazed by the first one I had to get a second. Place can get a bit of crammed though.

Come here for the food. The place is very tight, the queues are long, but you'll be rewarded with the best deli in Quebec.

We had heard excellent stories about Schwartz's Deli from a few friends, & let me tell you, the restaurant exceeded our expectations. When we first walked in, we received an immediate warm greeting from the host who invited us to pick a spot. Our server came over right away & was incredibly friendly & helpful. My brother had a little cut on his finger, & our server instantly noticed & took the initiative to get him a bandaid. This is just a small example of the kindness we received from our server. She was joyful & overall very pleasant. The food came out so quickly & was delicious. Absolutely fantastic experience at Schwartz's Deli in Montreal! Thank you!

Two weeks ago during our visit to Montreal, we went to this restaurant. After dinner, we left a tip, but the lady at the cashier seemed unhappy with the amount. She told us that for bills over $100, a tip higher than 15% was mandatory, & she rudely waved the tip money in front of us. We found this behavior very disrespectful & uncomfortable. Unfortunately, after this experience, we would not consider coming back again.

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.
