One of Montreal's great culinary institutions, this cramped, somewhat dingy deli makes the smoked meat (Montreal's version of pastrami) to which all others are compared. The queue can be horrendous on weekends, the service is impersonal at best, and you are likely to be shoehorned into a table with a gaggle of total strangers. That said, the classic meal of a smoked meat sandwich, fries, pickle and a Cott's Cerise Noire cola is a genuinely transcendent experience. If the line seems unreasonable, takeout is a perfect alternative. Cash only.

This is not Faux Dive . . . it is the real thing
This is the real thing, my father-in-law grew up a few blocks away from the deli and anytime there is a chance to go to montreal i jump all over the opportunity just to go to this place. All the other smoked meat tastes like cheap hot dogs compared to the smoked meat from Schwartz's. The service and cleanliness are questionable, but does it really matter? People still loved the soup nazi . . . for the same reason I love here . . the food.
Would you recommend this to a friend?
Yes
