What else is there to say than what has always been said before? Incredible smoked meat sandwich. My wife who doesn't like any sandwich loves the smoked meat. The kids ate all of it and said the 30 minute line they waited in was worth it. Our server suggested their steak was worth trying and it was exceptional with their own blend of seasonings. The fries were the perfect blend of crisp on the outside and potatoey on the inside. This is a true Montreal institution worth stopping at over and over again.

I love this place. The food was obviously amazing but the service was also incredible. Our waiter was so sweet and it was such a friendly vibe all around. The food was also so quick to come out, they literally pump it out seconds after you order it. It’s very cramped but in the best way. It’s so fun and I loved it. The fries were also great and the seasoning they give you to put on is phenomenal. And they give you the whole bottle so you can decide how much you want which is really cool. The pickle wasn’t the best but other than that it was a phenomenal lunch and I would for sure go back if I’m in Montreal again!

Food: poutine and a smoked meat sandwich with a pickle on the side. Absolutely delicious! Service: prompt and friendly. Atmosphere: nostalgic, definitely cramped and busy but didn’t mind it

Our entire family absolutely loved this place! The meat and pickles were the highlights of the meal. We first visited 10 yrs ago, and it’s incredible to see that the food is still just as amazing as we remembered. The staff is also exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Honestly, this restaurant is enough of a reason to visit Montreal all on its own!

The line up out front tells the story. Its worth getting in line to grab a classic smoked meat sandwich. The line is organized and moves really quickly as they dont let any seats go unfilled. The sandwiches are juicy and the meat melts in your mouth. Give the pickles a try. Massive and tangy. Definitely a must try if you lije delicious meat!

It was a cold day and we had to wait outside for a bit. Staff was friendly and once we got seated and ordered everything came quick. For sandwiches, poutine and the giant pickles and everything was delicious! Worth the wait.

Went to Schwartz’s small space next door to the main location. Food was good and portions were large. Atmosphere was less inviting in the annex but the service was acceptable. It’s a Montreal institution so worth a try.

The cashier acted like tipping was mandatory. She said it wasn’t included, and I was like… okay, and? Tip for what—just doing their job? Food is good, but it’s overpriced for what you actually get. The place is dirty, outdated, and clearly hasn’t been maintained in a long time.

Schwartz always has a place in my heart as my mom (who is no longer with us) grew up a couple blocks away. In the summers we would come to Montreal when I was a kid to visit her family and it would always include a trip to Schwartz. This was my first time coming to the restaurant as an adult and it was just as good as I remembered it. I sat at the counter and my food was ready immediately. I ordered the smoked meat sandwich (medium cut) and it had a great ratio of fat to give it that flavour. The sandwich with fries and a cherry coke came out to about $29 after tax. A bit pricey but pretty comparable with other delis for a smoked meat sandwich. They also have a takeout shop next door if you're not looking to dine in. Thanks for the great trip down memory lane!

Best sandwich in Montreal, just go and ask for a sandwich (smoked beef); you have the option to request it lean (more on the dry side but still very good if you’re trying care of the calories)

Just the best place for a Smoked Meat Sandwhich. I’d go as far as to say best in North America as I’ve never found anything comparable elsewhere.

Busy at mid day Friday shared table concept. Great portion sizes and huge picked. We three had the trad smoked meat sami which was juicy with a hit of spice and nice! Also had the fries plus smoked poutine which our uni student son enjoyed on his inaugural visit.
