It was packed and had a line out the door on a Thursday night at 10pm, but don't let its popularity discourage you. Worth a visit for the pickles alone. The smoked meat is incredible. I'd book a flight across the country just to come back here again

While the space is small and needs to be navigated, the sandwiches are juicy and delicious.

Like stepping back in time. Got to sit at the counter and enjoyed the banter between staff and patrons. BEST smoked meat anywhere. As always it was amazing.

This is just a classic! I guess is one of those places that when you visit Montreal you definitely have to go! I particularly like that the place has not been renovated and you still get the vibe of a place with tradition.

The smoke meat sandwich is awesome! Got two medium to go and will be going back for more. A very popular place so seating is tight and line ups are expected. The food is totally worth the wait!

We ordered smoked meat to go. $40/lb. It was outrageously expensive but we are almost never in Montreal so we bit the bullet. The meat was tasty but to me it was not worth the price.

You know we had to stop at this legendary Montreal staple for their signature SMOKED MEAT SANDWICH before going home. We shared a sandich with fries in their take-out spot and it lived up to the hype! Juicy smokey tender salty and simply DELICIOUS! Go here if you’re in Montreal! Oi!!

Lived all my life in Montreal, I've eaten smoked meat sandwiches all over the city and I have nothing good to say about Schwartz's sandwiches. Service was very efficient. I have a feeling they keep the best meat for people dining in by reading the reviews. A bit overpriced and you can get better smoked meat in different places.

The place lived up to its reputation. Food was great and no-nonsense. Service was lightning fast. Loved the fries so much. Vibe was very lived in and nostalgic.

Went at noon on a Wednesday. There was plenty of seating available. I ordered the poutine with Montreal smoked meat on top, with a side of pickles and cherry coca cola. Came up to around $25. Great experience and appreciateted the friendly service.

Words cannot describe how amazing this place is, the longevity of it speaks for itself. If you find yourself in Montreal you better make sure you find Schwartz's Deli.

I'd heard so much about this place, so my expectations were really high. It didn’t quite match what I'd imagined, but everything we tried was still really good. 😊 We had the famous smoked meat sandwich, smoked meat poutine, and also the classic poutine. The meat was flavorful and generous, and all the dishes were satisfying in their own way. What stood out the most was the staff. They were very attentive, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming.
