This is one of my favourite restaurants in all of Canada. They've been in the news lately with reports that the restaurant is for sale. If this is the case, I earnestly hope it remains in Canadian hands!
Having said that, I can add that the cozy atmosphere and wonderful aroma of smoked meat only adds to the appetite. Enjoy a smoked meet sandwich with French fries a cherry Coke, and save your diet for tomorrow! Schwartz's is an experience not to be missed. -

Not just the best smoked meat. The ONLY smoked meat. Never change.
People have been ordering smoked meat, medium, fries, pickle, and black cherry for 80 years for a reason. Don't order lean. You're having a smoked meat sandwich - who do you think you're fooling? -

If you are visiting Montreal or live in Montreal, this is a MUST (and I really mean a MUST!) place to come to eat (even if you aren't hungry, you just gotta try it! And if you are not a meat eater... then this place will make you want to convert). I heard a lot about this place from one of my cousins and he even asked my brother and I to bring him back some of the famous smoked meat since we decided to make a trip to Montreal.
I am so glad we stopped in here because the food was amazing! When we first walked over here, there was a line that was out the door, but it went by rather quickly (and this was in the afternoon around 2 pm on a week day). The smoked sandwich (I prefer the lean over the regular and fatty versions) was just so meaty and the portion was incredibly generous and very flavorful (taste like pastrami to me, but better). The turkey sandwich here is pretty good too. And I love that pickle spear that comes w/ the meal. Oh and by the way, if you come early at 8 am, you won't be able to order hot meat until at least 10 am.
We purchased about 2 pounds of meat for my cousin to bring back to Toronto, which was sealed in a vac packed bag and also decided to buy 2 pounds of meat to take back home with us to California too. We were able to get through customs (in a carry on luggage) no problem. We had a receipt to show that we purchased it from Schwartz' in case, but the guy at customs never asked and just let us through (but secretly he was probably trying to think up of a way to cease it from us so that he could eat it during his lunch break). -

I was in Montreal on business and was told not to miss this place. Well, I have to agree. I ordered the smoked sandwich and a cherry coke and I was not disappointed. Make sure you have cash, they don't accept credit or debit cards.

This is like the katz delicatessen of montreal! This place is sooo ultra famous!
The line to order to go was OUT THE DOOR. Luckily we ate in... and some group was leaving. Or else, just a few seconds later, we'd have to wait. There was a lot of people waiting for seats too, oh my!
The waiter that we got was soooooo cool! (He's the younger of all of them..)
He explained the way the restaurant works, the history and even offered to help us take photos. He initiated it all. VERY COOL! I mean, prior to this visit, we've gone to a few restaurants in the area and none of them gave a crap except to take our order and serve us our food. So this Schwartz person reallyyyyy went out of his way.. and if you end up going there, you should be able to spot who it is and have him serve you.
Meanwhile, onto the more important matter: tHE FOOD!
The only thing you should probably order is the SMOKED MEAT! the meat was flavored and smoked to perfection. The texture was soft and smooth. The flavors were so nice, you do not need mustard to accompany it.
the pickle was nice and huge.. can order one.
One sandwich already fills you up!
I am glad my friends recommended this place to me! -

When you travel, there are always places that everyone tells you to try which end up being overrated, tourist trap disappointments. Thankfully, Schwartz's is not one of those. Despite being on the list of almost any person I spoke to about Montreal, Schwartz's amazingly lived up to its hype because of its smoked meat sandwich. That sandwich would easily be able to throw down with Katz's pastrami in terms of pure, smokey, beefy goodness with a little mustard. As I found out on wikipedia, montreal smoked meat is basically brisket, but it's different from pastrami in that more peppercorns and a lot less sugar are used.
The craziest thing about this sandwich is that despite the overflowing, thick cuts of meat piled on your sandwich, it costs $6. six dollars?! Last time i checked, katz's pastrami sandwich was somewhere around $15. Even on a wet, snowy, December night, there was a line of about 10 people standing outside for their smoked meat fix. Now I understand why.
Along with hockey, poutine, and vancouver dimsum, Canada should be damn proud of its montreal-style smoked meat. -

Seeing a line outside a restaurant year round is usually a good sign, and in this case, it certainly is!
A mound of lean, regular or fatty (artery clogging) served on seemingly tiny slices of bread with mustard, this smoked meat sandwich is to die for! I would eat here regularly if it wouldn't plug my arteries. The balance of flavors for the meat, mustard, and rye bread is great and will certainly fill you up!
The wait can be daunting sometimes, but it's certainly worth giving it a try! -

I was on a day trip to Montreal, and searched Yelp for "best smoked meat sandwich".
This place didn't disappoint. It was exactly what I expected, rye, meat and mustard, stacked thick, and dripping. I felt like I had stepped back in time, as I'm sure this place hasn't changed a bit in 50 years. Didn't have one, but saw some pickles that looked delicious... A must stop place when in Montreal. -

The medium cut smoked meat sandwich on rye is very good. It tastes like an extra meaty and flavorful pastrami sandwich. Unlike Katz's, you don't even need mustard or any other seasoning. Needless to say, I brought back 2 pounds in sealed bags to bring home. Portions are very generous and the prices are fantastic! Just be warned that the line can get long.

I'm not really going to waste too much time on this one as I'm sure that everything I say about Schwartz's has already been said.
First off if you're a Montrealer and you are over the age of 4 and haven't been here yet then what is wrong with you? Schwartz's is a must try far all people visiting or living in Montreal and a place that you'll very quickly find yourself craving and missing more then you can imagine when you are out of the city for any length of time.
When it comes to your order its very simple, one regular smoke meat sandwich (none of this lean or medium crap, go big or go home) one dill pickle one order of fries one order of coleslaw and of course one Black Cherry Cott to wash it all down. I promise you'll never leave disappointed if you order that perfect combo -

Normally, I wouldn't recommend eating at a Jewish Deli while touring the very French Montreal but this is a perfect place for a good and cheap lunch. Located on St. Laurent street, there is plenty of parking on the street in and around the area. It would be a long walk from the Old City but is very walkable from the North East area of the Mont Royal park.
There is generally a line out the door but it goes quickly. I took off a star from the review because there isn't much room once you get inside the door. The wall on the left hand side is lined with tables so cramped that generally the back of your chair is resting on the back of the chair of the person eating behind you. The waiters are quick, courteous, and very accommodating even if you have a small child in your party.
As a New Yorker, I tend to compare any pastrami sandwich to that of our fabled Katz but I have to say that the hot pastrami sandwich with mustard was just as good, if not better than the one at Katz. The only difference, a sandwich here will cost you $6 - $8 whereas the same sandwich in NYC will cost $16. The pastrami is perfectly cooked, heaped onto rye bread, and melts in your mouth. The hotdogs aren't bad either.
For three sandwiches and fries, the bill was around $19. You cannot beat that. They only accept cash and you pay up in the front of the deli. They do take American dollars but will give change in Canadian coin. If you are low on cash there is an ATM in the back by the bathrooms but don't depend on it as my Visa card didn't work there. -

This is review is from our visit to Montreal in August.
Like everyone, we had their smoked meat sandwich, but the fat version. I admonished my husband for ordering it but then I had a bite--it was tender and, admittedly, delicious. (Fat is tasty!)
We were lucky and didn't have to wait in line. Although the sandwich was satisfying, I don't know if it was "wait in line for a hour" good. -

I was here two years ago and I'm just now reviewing it...maybe it's because I'm craving it. :( I love your sandwiches, Schwartz!!! do you love me, too?? lol jk
I've had one of the best sandwiches of my life here. Their smoked meat is so flavor ful and you don't need any fancy dressing to top it off...just mustard! and a pickle is the perfect side. Wont somebody be so kind and mail me a sandwich to Dallas, Texas :) Sil vous plait!!!! -

Tried its smoked meat sandwich. The smoked meat was really tender and succulent! Very pleasantly marinated! But this sandwich spilled with unhealthiness as it was really oily. Was quite messy to eat as well.
The place was a 20-min walk from the nearest metro station ... if you are not a big foodie, I do not think it is worth making the distance for the sandwich. -

The service was just okay, not super nice, but not super rude either (as some have experienced). However, we paid $17 for just ONE sandwich, a coleslaw, a pickle and a black cherry coke. That's a pretty hefty price tag for bread that you can barely hold because it's so small and insignificant.
The medium fat smoked meat was good, but maybe I was expecting planets to shift based on all the reviews I've read. A good sandwich that I might eat on occasion if it was in my neighbourhood, but not something I would drive 6 hours to try (which I partially did).
The fat was probably the best tasting part...and the only reason I ate it (because I usually avoid it at all costs), is because removing it would have de-flavoured the sandwich.
So, if you're a tourist like me, I guess you have to go because all your Facebook friends told you to go...but if you don't care much about peer pressure, then you might save your stomach for something tastier...like foie gras poutine? -

After sampling most of the pastrami sandwiches, I was shocked to taste the smoked meat at Schwartz's because it is actually better than those in New York! I feel a bit defeated since I am a New Yorker.
Schwartz's reminds me of Katz Deli in Manhattan but it looks dirtier, smaller but the Jewish servants remain. Their smoked meat sandwich is not as meaty as Katz but it is juicier and tastier. They don't have fancy sauces but yellow mustard. Surprisingly, it is good enough for all of us.
Their dill is also great as well as their coleslaw. Try the black cherry soda with your sandwich and get used to being cramped inside.
I would come back to Montreal just for the sandwich!Listed in: Tourist To-Do List in Montreal

Smoked meats galore (aka pastrami). Best known in Montreal for their sandwiches and meat. Luckily, when my boyfriend and I arrived to this location for dinner the line was short and we were seated within less than 10 mintues. Just so you know, after we were done, around 8:30ish the line stretched across 3-4 stores.
I like how Schwartz's had different levels of meats - lean, medium, or fatty. I had the medium and my boyfriend had the fatty. The fatty was definitely the better pick since the smoked meat can get a bit dry in certain areas, the fat can really counteract the dry bread.
I truly like this place, good sandwiches and good service really makes a difference. The waiters made an effort to speak to us since they noticed we weren't natives. What a night. -

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical being a New Yorker who goes to Katz's but I ended up really liking this place. It is small but there is a real order to the chaos. Don't expect to get your own table as most of the tables are communal. Waiter, and in our case other guests, were super friendly. As far as the food, we started with a sour pickle and fries, excellent! The Quebec version of smoked meat is more like a smoked corned beef compared to what I consider NY smoked meat which is Pastrami. Nevertheless, the Quebec version is excellent! Yum! I didn't even touch the bread, took a forkful of smoked meat, little mustard and.....DELISH! Highly recommend.
N.B - There is usually a long line in front of this place but luckily we breezed right in. -

I'm embarrassed to admit it as a native Montrealer... But today was my first time at the famous Schwartz's. But, we waited outside in the cold in line for about 45 minutes, so I think i should be forgiven :) The decor is what I imagine it looked like when it first opened 80 years ago, minus some of the newspaper clippings on the walls.
Everyone at our table had a classic smoked meat sandwich - I ordered lean and found it a little dry, so I added a touch more mustard. Those who had medium said the meat was perfect. The spice combination used here is different from what you'd find at other smoked meat places around the city. The meat is flavourful, tender, and falls apart. The fries were good.
The star of meal, you ask? A giant pickle! Quite possibly the best pickle I've ever had (and I consider myself a pickle connoisseur, even if nobody else does). I wanted to stop next door at the take out counter to bring some pickles home, but the take out counter was closed. So I'll be back - the pickle is worth waiting in line. -

Visted Schwartz from San Francisco and heard they had the best smoked meat sandwhich ever. However, let me be honest it was not. The problem was that it didn't taste smoked to me. Just like a real good corned beef sandwhich that had been cooked for a few hours with pickling spices. I tried the Karnatzel too and it was so-so.
All in all Schwartz's was good but I think my expectations were set too high. If you go, make sure to get a pickle and a sweetpepper too! -

We have had lunch at Schwartz's every time we come to Montréal. There's always a bit of a wait, but people are friendly and we're generally seated pretty fast. There are a series of communal tables of 8. It's not a place where you linger over your meal. People order, eat and go. We shared our table today w/ a couple of guys from Vancouver, a professional soccer coach and the team trainer/doctor. They were nice guys. Another couple at the other end of the table ate quickly enough that we didn't even find out where they were from.
We each ordered a smoked meat sandwich, Schwartz's specialty. You have a choice of lean, medium or fat. We chose medium. Lean is reportedly too dry. We overheard our server explain to someone that today's fat used to be medium 15 years ago, but cattle are being bred leaner these days, so they're unable to obtain the level of fat they used to. We also ordered fries to share. The fries came first. There were fewer of them than at Steak Frites and they were much, much better. The sandwiches were excellent, w/ rye bread that was on the small side and the smoked meat piled high. It was a manageable portion and oh so tasty.
There are two bathrooms for the entire restaurant, one for men and one for women. They are basic and clean. You pay up front at the cashier. Alan was out of Canadian money and only had a $20. He paid for our lunch and got change but was unable to fight his way back through the crowd, which had grown pretty thick, to tip the server. We felt bad about that, because he'd been friendly, patient and helpful. It was difficult even to get out the door. It's a popular place.Listed in: Ah oui! Montréal!

The BEST smoked meat in Montreal. For a Canadian living in New York, smoked meat is a must while I am in town. If you don't want the full menu, skip the lines and go next door to the take out side and order a sandwich and cherry soft drink. They have chairs and tables available in the back.

Yeah, yeah - it's a Montreal institution, it's been around for 80 years or what have you. It was good, I guess, but like almost every place with a line up, I found myself a bit underwhelmed.
Prices are good, you get a lot of meat for your money, but I guess I was expecting a bit more complex flavour. It might just be that I don't know anything about smoked meat. Service was good and quick and the pepperoni sticks were good too.
I think I'll have to try Reuben's before I can evaluate it fairly. -

I've heard so many good things about this place so when my family and I stopped by Montreal we had to give this place a try! We got there pretty late (around 8:30pm) and there still was a line leading to the front door! It was sort of confusing because there were two lines, I guess one was for eating in and the other was for take out.
Inside is quite small and isn't the cleanest (but who cares because you're here for the smoked meat), service was very attentive and quick, and the sandwiches were very decently priced! My leftovers were a nice little snack the next day.
Overall a decent place to grab a bite =) -

So, I had such mixed feelings about my experience at Schwart's. It was one of those things that was so hyped up to me that I expected it to be the most delicious sandwich ever. However, that wasn't my favorite part by far, and I feel like it probably is what most people go for.
The staff are super friendly and, of course, happily spoke English. They even went out of their way to strike up conversation with me while I was having my supper. I went at a sort of off time and didn't have to wait for a seat or food. I chose the bar since I was flying solo, and the food came out almost as quickly as I could order it. It was perfectly fresh and tasty though, and certainly not a situation of having been pre-made.
The sandwich was certainly not the highlight of the meal for me, but it was good and the combination of it and the black cherry soda were fantastic. The smoked meat on its own was top notch, but the bread just kind of got in the way for me. I definitely had to add tons more mustard, but better too little than too much, I say. For me it was the fresh kosher pickle that really sealed the deal for me at this place. It was perfectly crispy and sour and delicious. If I hadn't been backpacking, there's no doubt that I would have purchase a jar for home. -

Just ok. Meat wasn`t juicy, and I found I was adding a lot of mustard while eating it. The bread with the `sandwich` seemed superflous since it was too small to contain any meat inside it anyways.
Also, I think I just paid $1.75 plus tax for a large pickle. -

Smoked meat was on the menu of must-try foods while in Montreal. I like pastrami, and corned beef (although maybe twice a year), and so I knew I'd be cool with a smoked meat sandwich.
It's kind of a far walk from the Mont Royal station, but I got some required souvenir shopping in as there are tons of boutiques and spots to do stroll around in. I was heading to the airport that afternoon, and so wanted to take this sandwich to-go to unwrap at the airport and grub - because my airline did not offer any free snacks for a six-hour flight. I answered back with Schwartz breath.
Walked in and there was a short line, but the restaurant's seating area (which is minimal but still enough.. though you'll be stuffed like a sardine) was quite full. They are very fast to service, and you pay and are out the door in a matter of less than 5 minutes (Wednesday around maybe 2pm?) I asked for "medium fat", as that's what I'd been suggested to do. I don't think they cared, and medium fat is probably the default.
Anyway, I unwrapped it at the airport a couple of hours later, and although the paper wrapping and bag were soaked with some grease, the sandwich itself was not greasy. It wasn't glistening with oil. The grease was just from the natural fats that are melted into the meat itself, and not dripping really - since it's a dry meat. I think it was on a mild rye toast and slathered in mustard. Yum! The meat is sliced medium.. and perfect for just grabbing a chunk out of your sandwich and eating with your fingers. Yes, us Californians have no shame.
I think it was around $7? Great deal, lots of meat (and I mean like maybe 2" of meat stuffed into the sandwich), and you won't feel too heavy afterward. I like! -

Just thinking about this place makes me drool lol
The smoke meat is heavenly, now I know why my husband talked about it so much when we were in Montreal.
Everytime we went by Schwartz's there's a line up out the door passed a store's length. Make sure you go before 11am to avoid a line up. Even then, the place will still be half full during non-busy hours (I don't really know when is non-busy though, we passed by the place at 3pm and it was still crazy)
We ordered the smoke meat sandwich (seems like that's what everybody was having) with fries, cole slaw and coke. You can choose your meat to be lean, medium or fatty. We got medium and it was fantastic!! Fries were awesome too, personally I didn't like the cole slaw as much, it was too sour for me.
If you are looking for quick, easy, good and cheap lunch, don't get side dishes coz they add up pretty quickly! Our bill ended up to be about $25.00, more expensive than we thought, but the sandwich was excellent ($6.15 for a sandwich)
Schwartz's should go Canada wide, we'd totally go again if there's another one in Calgary!Listed in: Montreal

After years of eyeing this place, I finally tried it out. Since everyone else has already written ad nauseum about how great the smoked meat/bread/pickles/etc. are (delicious, btw!) my contribution is to simply tell you when you go in order to beat the lineup.
Plan your visit around the following three variables, and you may just get a counter seat with no wait:
- Worst weather possible (middle of rainstorm, windstorm, hailstorm or snowstorm)
- Later in the evening (after dark)
- On a lame weeknight (Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday)
(I.e. I went on a Monday, in the middle of a rainstorm, at 8pm, and I was at the counter in 30 seconds flat and sinking my teeth into smoked meat goodness in under five minutes.) -

The smoked meat is better than Katz's! I didn't think it was possible. Ordered "fatty," you will never get closer to heaven. It's so soft and salty, and the bread is nice and soft too. For $6.15... wait, 6 bucks??? NY is a killer on the wallet, it's bullshit that I am even GLAD to pay 15 for a pastrami at Katz's. Now I have some perspective and want to move to Montreal.
From across the street, I looked at the line out the door, and didn't want to go - no matter how good it is, I'm not going to wait in line like a bunch of lemmings for a sandwich. THEN, I found that there is a take-out shop next door selling the exact same sandwich - and there's even tables and counters to sit at! Zero line. How come no one told me about this before???
I have no idea what the classic Schwartz's deli looks like, and I don't care. Schwartz's take-out window gets 5 stars - easily. It blows up the scale.Listed in: Canada!

So, a lot of people put this as a "must go" for Montreal. If you've never been to New York then you might find this to be true. Otherwise, though, I would say skip it. The smoked beef is good, the food IS cheap, but it is definitely nothing special or unique. The bread is standard "bimbo" bread...the french fries were standard but still pretty OK.

As a New Yorker who adores pastrami and the Jewish deli experience, I was more than keen to try Schwartz's, to say the least. And boy, does Schwartz's deserve its reputation.
The wait on line was fun, and not very long at all. (We waited a mere 20-25 minutes at 12:15PM on a Monday.) The service was very friendly.
The smoked meat was absolutely delicious. Better than Katz's, and better than 2nd Avenue Deli. Sliced by hand, but not too thick, not too fatty; perfect. The rye bread is spongy and substantial; perfect. With some mustard, this is one of the best sandwiches in North America, if not the world. Perfect.
The coleslaw is uniquely seasoned, almost lemony, and the half-sour pickle barely pickled. Bracingly fresh; perfect. The french fries are crisp and nutty; perfect.
I would race back in a heartbeat. -

Great place for a smoked meat sandwich!! There was a LONG line, but thankfully it was just two of us so we got to cut to the front.
My husband got their fatty smoked meat sandwich, and I got their medium smoked meat sandwich- the fatty is definitely better! Served on fresh rye bread with a little smear of mustard. We also got a plate of fries to share. -

i understand this is an old school place, and they even have a musical named after it ( see the poster outside the store). But after trying the most famous corn beef sandwich, i really couldn't understand what's so hype about this place. The meat is not very moist and lack of flavor, maybe their old owner had a better recipe?
not going back again for sure. but as a tourist, maybe u should still give it a chance just to review the history~~ -

The to-go line moves quick so don't be too upset if you can't get into the restaurant, as was our case. Big but not unconquerable sandwiches and two types of really good coleslaw. Not quite a New York kosher (style) deli...but definitely some Jews Canada can be proud of!

I was in Mtl for the weekend and wind up eating here 2 nights in a row!
The sandwiches here are unbelieveable! The smoked meat is so tasty and salty but so good. The bread definitely complements the meat!
Not much of a line up if you come either later in the evening.
Remember to leave a tip in the plate when you order take out and the servers will be extra nice and funny! -

The line was out the door, but the wait wasn't too bad. We sat at the bar and the service was super friendly and attentive.
They offer a lean, medium and fatty cut to the smoked meat sandwich. I ordered the smoked meat with medium fat. Every bite with the more fattier part was really good. This was my first time here and if I was to do it again, I'd order the fattier cut next time since the sandwich is not ginormous.
This place has a good sandwich at a reasonable price, along with a friendly staff. You really can't go wrong.
A solid 4 stars IMO. I'd come back here for sure. -

The smoked meat sandwich is awesome. Very flavorful, smoky, simple, and just plain tasty. It's served on rye with mustard. I also had fries, which were so-so, and a can of black cherry soda, which was delicious. Next time I'll get a pickle and/or cole slaw instead of the fries.
