Situated on The Main, Schwartz’s is one of Montreal’s biggest personalities. This business has provided quality meals and service since 1928 and home is to some of the best smoked meat in North America. Reuben Schwartz, who immigrated from Romania and is the original owner, began the worldwide legend of Schwartz’s during the Depression. After Montreal hosted the 1976 Olympics, business exploded in popularity.

Word of mouth and the Internet allowed Schwartz-mania to spread to all corners of the globe. Known to host locals, tourists and celebrities all at the same table, Schwartz’s helps strangers to become friends by passing the ketchup. The dining area bursts with cultural diversity and the excitement of customers getting into a frenzy for the classic smoked meat sandwich. This deli’s role as Montreal’s own celebrity puts the city on the map in yet another area of expertise.

Over-rated!

Sorry, but someone had to say it! I love smoke meat and I've eaten it at many places. Schwartzs is good, but over-rated. Don't understand why people would wait in line for an hour for that!!!

Best Smoked Meat in Town!

If your ever passing my Montreal you must check out this famous deli on St-Laurent Boulevard!!! This place is famous and known worldwide to be the best smoked meat place in Montreal. Great atmosphere and the people working there have a kind of 50's feeling like you were in back to the future :) Expect a line-up though on weekends, I have seen line-up's going all the way down the street with hungry locals and tourists ready to grab a bite! Think I'll stop by tonight...

They will Send It!

My dear friend in Montreal bought some of their Montreal Smoked Meat briskets and couriered them to me. OMG can't get anything like it anywhere else! It's melt-in-your-mouth good, and just tastes the best! Have them ship it! Worth every penny!

Best $10 lunches with delicious value from Montreal spots

Another great Montreal classic that is great for lunch. While it’s true that line-ups are long, it’s sometimes fun to play tourist in your own city and chat with visitors when the reward is a delicious half fat smoked meat sandwich with a side of pickles. For a quicker service, head for the pick-up line.
