Fans of'The Bear' should jump at this life-imitates-art opportunity to get yelled at for ordering a sandwich.

Une véritable institution montréalaise, & ce n'est pas pour rien.
Chez Schwartz's, on ne vient pas juste manger - on vient vivre une tradition.

Le smoked meat est tout simplement mythique : tendre, juteux, parfaitement assaisonné après une préparation unique qui fait sa renommée depuis des décennies . Servi généreusement dans un pain de seigle avec moutarde, chaque bouchée est un classique absolu.

L'ambiance est brute, authentique, presque chaotique - mais c'est exactement ce qui fait son charme. Toujours rempli, souvent avec une file à l'extérieur, preuve que l'adresse est incontournable à Montréal .

Le service est rapide, efficace, sans fla-fla. Ici, tout tourne autour du produit.

Une expérience iconique que tout le monde doit vivre au moins une fois.

A true Montreal institution - & for good reason.
The smoked meat is legendary: tender, juicy, & perfectly seasoned.

The atmosphere is raw & authentic, often packed with a line outside - a clear sign of its iconic status.
A must-visit experience in Montreal.

Returning to Schwartz's after 15 years was a highlight of our trip. It is rare for an institution to not only maintain its reputation but actually exceed it-the flavour was even better than I remembered.

We visited with our two young children, & while the deli is famously compact, the staff were incredibly attentive & accommodating. They even found a place to store our stroller for us, which made a world of difference in such a bustling environment.

The smoked meat sandwich remains flawless, but the steak & poutine are equally impressive. From the quality of the meat to the perfect crunch of the pickles & coleslaw, the combination was excellent. This was my husband's first visit, & it immediately became his favorite meal of our entire journey from Mont-Tremblant.

A must-visit for anyone in Montreal, even if you're traveling with a family in tow.

No trip would be complete without a visit to this historic restaurant. We arrived around 1:30pm & the place was crowded. It was kinda neat that they ask/tell you to sit at a table even with others there.

We ordered a couple of smoked meat sandwiches - what else. Lots of tasty meat.

The host & the waiters are so nice & kind very welcoming & it feels like a community rather than restaurant. The food was great .

Attempted to go inside but line was too long so went in to their take out section. They were quite busy, but staff was borderline rude & there was a lot of variation between everyone's sandwiches in our group, some full of meat & some barely a sandwich. Mine was very disappointing & basically just scraps & mostly fat. I will give it another try next time in Montreal & hopefully not on a busy Habs game day Saturday. But for my first experience at this iconic deli, I was disappointed to say the least.

The sandwiches are really great! It's a pretty small store, but the counter was open for us & we were able to dine in. The #4 meat sandwich & #2 poutine were recommended to us - the sandwich was a simple sandwich with a LOT of meat & mustard. Very yummy, the meat was super soft too, but I wish there was a vegetable
