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 reconnu comme une institution culinaire légendaire à Montréal, célèbre pour ses sandwichs à la viande fumée, tendres et savoureux. Si de nombreux clients considèrent que manger dans une atmosphère historique, animée et étroite fait partie intégrante du charme, d'autres notent que les longues files d'attente et le service rapide peuvent donner une impression de précipitation. Le personnel est souvent décrit comme efficace et professionnel, bien que l'accueil puisse varier d'un service chaleureux à une approche plus expéditive. Il est vivement conseillé d'accompagner la viande avec le soda à la cerise maison, la salade de chou et les cornichons emblématiques. Malgré des avis partagés sur les portions, les prix ou une certaine inconstance dans la qualité de la viande, la plupart des visiteurs considèrent cette adresse comme un incontournable incontestable de la scène gastronomique montréalaise, plusieurs suggérant le comptoir pour emporter comme une alternative pratique pour éviter l'attente.
Visited Schwartz Deli holidaying in Montreal for 2 days. This restaurant is one must try & not to be missed. We had juicy, Smoked Meat Sandwich, full of flavour. Most popular sandwich for the first timers. Highly recommend! Coleslaw made with vinegar was tge idel side for the sandwich. We had A&W cold Root Beer.
Huge portions & a lively atmosphere! My partner & I came here for dinner & the place was packed even when it was already 8-9 PM. We had to park a few streets away since there was no parking nearby, but it was a nice walk. There was a line up (which tells you it's a good place) but the wait time was quite reasonable & we weren't in a rush so it was all good. The server was super nice & friendly, & food was delicious. We left the place feeling so full, so the walk back to our parking spot helped us digest a bit haha.
Schwartz' Deli is an iconic Montreal restaurant that is known for its smoked meat. Expect to wait in a line which, in our case, moved quote quickly. All of this is for good reason! The smoked meat is the best I've ever had (& I've had smoked meat in NYC, Atlanta, Nashville, Austin & throughout Florida, too name a few places). People share a table seating 6. I ordered a side of cole slaw ( which is solely vinegar based & very tasty!) The star, the smoked meat, is tender, flavorful & ample in sandwich serving size, if you don't opt for a small plate or a large plate. Be advised that the Cherry Cola is "Cott," not Coca Cola. It is a our now tasty than Cherry Coke. You MUST eat smoked meat at Schwartz' Deli if you are in Montreal & want quality smoked meat!! I will return when next I visit!
Service can be described using only one word. Amazing!! Our waiter was very, very kind & friendly. He tried to get to know us & even was okay being in a picture with us! Moving onto the food, our smoked meat sandwiches were a must have! The bread was very soft & fluffy, while the meat was not dry & perfectly cooked! The smoked meat poutine, as well was also phenomenal! It was above average poutine with Schwartz's above average meat! However, like all other restaurants, Schwartz has its downsides. Some of the forks & cups looked dirty & unwell washed & scrubbed. However, the dirty forks & cups do not, at all make a dent in my 5 star review for this restaurant.
Time capsule of an amazing place. Memories from my childhood are exactly the same. The most perfect smoked meat sandwich ever, paired with a pickle that you cut like a steak & a Cott's black cherry pop! Share a table with everyone in the place & it's always busy. Waiting in line is worth it. The servers seemed nicer than I remember this time... Although the rough edges add to the charm.
I realy do not understand why is this place so popular. & why the people stand outside in a line.The meal is just a meat slices put in plain bread.....🤭
