Reviews for Schwartz's Deli in Montréal, QC
It's the spot to get smoked meat. But other smoked meat shops around town have just as good tasting sandwiches. There they offer... lean medium fat and lots of fat cuts for the sandwich. Also the pickle is really good. There are cheaper options in town though.Sat at the bar at 11am and at 11:45 it was full. There is a takeout option as well beside the dine in entrance. Read more
Hadn't been to Schwartz's in 13 years. And just as I imagined, it's exactly the same. If you expect the friendliest service in... the world, this isn't your place. But it's part of the charm as employees have been there for decades, they still bring the foodquickly and without a hickup, so no complaints there. Food is still great, gotta get the Cherry Coke with the pickle and plateof smoked meat. I go medium, some prefer lean but if not it is too fatty and tough to eat. It's a must when you come toMontreal and always will be. Read more
The Smoked meet sandwich is really good but I feel all of the hype of this restaurant kind of let's it down. It was fantastic,... melt in your mouth meat but is it the best I've ever had? No. The giant pickles are fantastic but the fries are way to greasyand not very crisp. I probably would of enjoyed it more if I hadn't been told by everyone that this was the place to eat inMontreal. May eat here again but would do take away because it takes a while to get a table. Read more
Arrived at 10am in the morning, and there was already a line outside of the store! The service was quick and I didn't have to... wait so much time at all! Ordered the famous sandwich and it was sooo good. The price was reasonable (even cheap relating toother places). Highly recommend! Read more
I have been coming to this place every year for five years. I visit Montreal for work and this place is a must! This is not just... a beef sandwich shop, this is THE salted beef/pastrami sandwich shop. You cannot come to Montreal without a visit. I recommendthe half lean half fatty combo, the fatty cut is cooked so slowly it melts in your mouth. I am someone who hates fatty meats,but this really adds to the flavour and is not chewy. Top this absolute titan of a sandwich off with a side of fries, a pickleand a cherry soda and you've got a complete night. The staff are friendly and there is a reason you normally have to wait for atable. Popularity means queues and queues mean good food. Read more
I arrived after 9pm and there were only a couple of people in line. Service was really quick once I was seated. The smoked meat... sandwich was excellent! It wasn't dry and the flavor was really good. I really liked the diner feel as well. In a city full offancy restaurants it felt good to just pull up at the bar of a diner and have great food.

This is a mandatory culinary experience when you're in Montreal. The meat is marinated for 10 days before being smoked for 12... hours and steamed for 4 hours. The result is the juiciest smoked meat sandwich. I highly recommend the rye bread and pickle togo with it. This restaurant specifically is the North Star of smoked meat. It doesn't look like much when you walk in, but whenyou eat the sandwich you can taste the tradition and history. The staff are really friendly and funny. Please stop by here ifyou have time in Montreal. Read more
This was a great experience, honestly I don't know the origin of the recipe of this amazing smoked meat that I had but it was... very tasty,tender and juicy. ..the place itself was crowded and they make their guests share the tables to avoid queues.. wedefinitely can't consider it as a fine dining place. Additionally the place has an old style of decoration and not veryneat. The staff are friendly and helpful. To conclude, Shwarz is a must do when in Montreal. Read more
