Every day of the week there was lines out the door I recommend if traveling and you want to stop and go during a weekday as soon as it opens don't wait. The shorts can also be found in the local grocery stores hint hint chopped a version or slices.

After visiting a couple of Montreal delis, I have to say that Schwartz's is the best one and is the quintessential place for a smoked meat sandwich in Montreal.

Yes there is an unfriendly lady managing the pay counter but the sandwiches, the meat quality and speed of service for what you pay are pretty on point.

This location is cramped and not very high end but it gets heavy traffic and I... more

Wow ive had people bring home the schwartz before and it does not do any justice. I had no expectation here since the ones ive tried in the past were a disappointment. But wow i was amazed when i came to the actual store to try it fresh. Mind blown! So lucky there was no lineup that day. It was so delicious, tender, flavourful & even service was good! Definitely check this spot out for the real... more

Schwartz's is a smoked meat deli in Montreal. They are famous for their hot smoked meat sandwich and smoked meat by the pound, which has been compared to pastrami in NY.

There were two lines for Schwartz's. One for take out and one for sit in to dine. We opted for the take out, since that line was much shorter (and involved an indoor wait).

We ordered 1.5 pounds of the smoked meat and one... more

Simplicity redefined, it's your average neighbourhood deli but it is not when it comes to your experience.

Whether you are on the go or need a proper meal to eat and don't mind the crowd or waiting outside to get a place to sit, for sure you are heading for a gem, the food, the service, the ambience and the prices are great and no matter you are in doubt or know exactly what you want you will... more

New York Jew here! I was really excited to try the Montreal version of one of my favorite foods. The line was kind of long- I waited outside for about 20 minutes in 19 degree F. But once I was inside, I forgot all about it.

The sandwich was worth the wait. I ordered it medium, without much fat, but was a little disappointed when bit into chunks but fat in the sandwich.

I also got dill pickles... more

Visiting from Toronto and waited in line but it was worth the wait. Best smoked meat sandwich I've ever had! first time but will be back someday soon! Service was fast and efficient and they regularly keep people in line updated/informed on time to wait, open tables, etc. great spot!

Most famous deli meat sandwich place in Montreal.
The meat is so juicy and made with just enough spices so it's not too much and not too salty. It is served so well with pickles ! Must go and try at least once -- but I'll tell you now, you will fall in love with it!

The star of the show here is the spiced and brined beef brisket, hot-smoked and steamed, yielding something similar to corned beef or pastrami but taking it a step further. Jews from Eastern European introduced the smoked meat sandwich to Montreal nearly a century ago, and one of the main vendors of this specialty is the legendary Schwartz's Deli.

There's not much to say that everyone else hasn't said about this place.
Assuming you like smoked meat, you will like Schwartz's. It's delicious and getting a plate and splitting it is perfect. I don't think it's overhyped as in it's not that good, but it is maybe over hyped in that there are other restaurants that will provide similarly delicious smoked meat.

BUT this one is the OG so you... more

This place lives up to the hype. I came here specifically just to try the smoked meat sandwich. Our waiter was super nice and gave his recommendations. I ordered the sandwich with a side of pickle and coleslaw. Completely worth the price they charge for it. The meat was absolutely perfect and I love that it comes with mustard and that's it. This makes you really appreciate the mean itself. I... more

So I went back again. And this time I went into the dine in as opposed to the take out section.

The sandwich was much better this time and they used a different kind of bread. Also not as dry as the previous one I had from the take out section.

They do, however take cash only. There is an atm in the shopper's next door which has a desjardin atm. The service is great as always.

Oh my goodness. Here on a ladycation and I got some suggestions from some fellow Yelpers to come here. Smoked meat sandwiches were on the menu and this place was a must try.

We got here and it was a hole in the wall. Just what you would expect to see for a diner that has been around since the 20s. We stood in line and waited for our table. The staff was quick and friendly.

Our waiter told us... more

First time in Montreal, so of course I had to try Schwartz's. And when you visit, you must try their classic roast meat sandwich. There is usually a line, so I've heard, so be prepared to wait. Oh, and bring cash.

Verdict - Not gonna lie, it's one of the best roast meat sandwiches I've had. The meat was juicy and fall apart delicious, they gave of ton of it too. Service was good and we got our... more

I would give Schwartz's a 10-star review if I can! I live in Toronto & that was the first time I try Montreal's smoked meat. Best decision ever! They make sure that the sandwich is reaaallllyyyy packed with them fatty smoked brisket!
Cannot wait til my next time in Montreal to immerse myself in this meaty meal!!

It's not hard to see why the line for Schwartz's is almost always out the door. You will literally see the line before you see the storefront. For all the newcomers out there though, don't be intimidated!The line moves very quickly!

My pro tip: get in the takeout line. There's a tiny counter at the back of this section of the restaurant where you can take your food. Alternatively, you can take... more

Great smoked meat, but kinda overrated.

FOOD: 4/5
The quality of their smoked meat itself is great. Not so crazy about it in a sandwich. The bread they use is thin and breaks easily when eating, making this meal kinda messy. The mustard is also a little on the light side and I hardly tasted it.

SERVICE: 4/5
We came here two years ago during the holidays and waited about 30 minutes in the... more

- Don't know if I have had a smoked meat sandwich as good as this one before.

Not a fan of:
- It seems like no matter what time you visit, there is a lineup. On a brighter note, the restaurant is decent in size and service is quick and efficient, although you do feel slightly rushed. Definitely not a place for long conversations.

Not good tasting experience as it is too croooooowded
smoked meet is a little bit salty

This is one of those places you need to try when you visit Montreal. Don't be surprised by the long queue to enter the restaurant, so arrive at least 30 min in advance to make sure you don't starve while waiting. They also have a takeaway option with a short wait next to the main door.

I opted for the famous smoked meat sandwich with mustard (#4) and fries as a side dish. The meat was tender... more

I hate lining up for food, but this was worth the 45 min wait. Simple, no frills diner. CASH ONLY.

Smoked meat sandwich - no smoky flavor but the mountain of meat was so soft and warm. Good mix of lean, fat and peppery crust. Top with mustard for more flavor.

We were in line for like 20 mins or so. So many people were waiting when we got inside. We ordered No.4, which basically it was a smoke meet sandwich with mustard sauce, and a poutine.

Smoke meat was really nice with awesome flavor. Poutine was also great with thick gravy and cheese.

This place is totally worth a try!

You have to stop in, right? This Jewish Deli is a mainstay in Montreal. They've been serving up their smoked seasoned meats for decades. Celine Dion even bought the place a while back to keep it going (so we heard). The #4 is what you want if you're a first timer. It's served on rye with mustard. It's not really pastrami and it's not really corned beef - it's more like the latter but fattier.... more

One of the main things I wanted to try while in Montreal was the infamous Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. Schwartz is quite well reviewed and so I was really looking forward to trying it.

I came during lunch time and the line up wasn't too long. It was quite a scorching hot day in August and I was glad that the line up moved relatively quickly. I was really happy that the air conditioning was... more

Everyone told me the same thing: you can't go to Montreal and not try the smoked meat. In comes Schwartz's, possibly the most popular smoked meat destination of them all.

The line to sit down was long, so we headed into the take-out side and got served and seated in there immediately. I went with a smoked meat sandwich and a side of fries. The sandwich was tender and flavorful, with nice... more

This was a highly anticipated spot knowing the history of the restaurant. We showed up to a line of about 10-15 people but the line moved extremely quickly and we were seated after about 10 minutes. To our surprise their tables seat 6 and they group everyone together so as a pit we were sandwiched in between 2 other pairs. Not the best start, but we were really there for the food.

We ordered... more

Pouting, smoked meat sandwiches are on two huge menu boards in English and French. Cash only and people line up in front. Take out next door was pretty busy too.

Favorite Dish: Best pouting I've had. Smoked meat sandwich was sweet and so soft and good. Communal tables, fast and friendly service.

Its not salty. $8 for a smoke meat sandwich. You get nothing with it but the bun and meat, Always full and crowed. They want you to eat and get out. You might have to share a table with someone. You get 3 choices, LEAN, MED or FATTY. For 1st time eater try the med, Tender and juicy. You can... more

I still have no idea what makes Montreal smoked meat so much better than the beef I get at our deli, but it is stupendous! I got the sandwich with a side of slaw and was in heaven. Worth the wait!

This was one of the must eat places on my list for Montreal. I was not disappointed. The wait for a table was minimal, about 15 minutes. We were a party of six that claimed a full table near the rear of the deli. All in our party ordered the basic smoked meat sandwich with mustard. The meat literally melted... more

Schwartzs has resisted the opportunity to branch out and continues to operate from one small shop which adds to its charm. You have 2 choices - sit in or take away. I presumed late afternoon on a tuesday it would be quiet but there was a huge queue for the sit in so we got a smoked meat and sour... more

Montreal is famous for many things and I will zero in on our newest experience with smoked meat. All weak attempt at humor aside, these proud citizens are very serious about it and we had heard before about the best place for this specialty being Schwartz's. A modest trek from our hotel with our sons, we waited in a line... more

I think this is a place that has passed it's "hay day" due to the stench when we walked in, but a line out the door was a good sign. We ordered the smoked meat sandwiches and pickles, all of which were absolutely delicious. The meat was the most tender meat I have ever eaten and was melting in my... more

It was good and nostalgic. Coming from New York, my mouth was watering for a richer flavor of meat. The taste is mild. Glad I went. Met some nice people. The line moves quick.

We got there at noon, luckily got a last table, to avoid a long line, should get there before lunch time. really delicious, like it very much, we got a sandwich and a small plate, walked around 20 minutes from metro station to get there, met several rude beggars on that street, yelling in French to us, did not understand... more

It's loud, cramped and hectic. And worth it. The portions are huge and the meat is unlike anywhere else. Have a cherry pop....even if you don't order one they might plop one in front of you.

Frommers recommended Shwartz as the best place to get a smoked meat sandwich so we put it on the 'must try' on our short visit to Montreal. Yes it's rather cramped, yes it's like stepping back in time and has probably not changed in many many years and yes they take cash only, but that meat is melt in your... more

Smoked meat sandwich! You just have to try it here! The sandwich is huge but very very tasty. It was fatty and delicious. It also wasn't dry and every bite was devoured in a detailed manner. For me, I always judge a sandwich by it's bread to meat ratio and this rocked my world! Must eat when in Montreal.

I visited Schwartz's because that's just what you do when you go to Montreal. In my opinion it's overrated. I had much better smoked meat at Brynd in Quebec city. It's worth a visit just to check out the very unique atmosphere. Don't go at peak times tough. If it's open, it's busy.
The pickles are very well done. The meat was maybe a bit rushed because it didn't have that melt-in-your-mouth... more

Some friends and I went in a month ago and had a pleasant experience with Schwartz' (with a few caveats). The place had a line going on the outside, but we only had to wait for 15 minutes. They will seat you as space comes available, so there's a good chance you'll be at the same table with strangers. I was going to order the turkey, but told it was processed, and to stick to the smoked meat.... more

They do one thing right. We did the tri-fecta , Schwartz , dunns , ruebans and voted Schwartz the best tasting sandwich. Good lunch for under 10 dollar. great old Montreal experience

Staff were friendly and efficient even in the heat and in the face of a perpetual line, Schwartz is a Montreal staple for a reason. Best smoked meat around, incredible pickles and fabulous nosh. Don't miss it if you can help it.

smoke meat:D I love it!!

It is well known and so many people know about it and suggest you should go but you must know what you are going after. If you like a clean and quiet place you don`t find it there and if you eat healthy and consider it a good habit, my suggestion is not to listen to others.
I disliked the food, to be honest the meat tasted good but it is very fatty and there are so many bugs in the restaurant,... more

They make it clear their Schwartz is bigger than yours. Make sure to order with conviction. If you go in blind like we did, you'll be hit sideways by a guy behind the counter telling you exactly what you want. I'll give him credit, the Schwartz was strong with him because we fell for the politician smile and grass roots cloak he was sporting. All we really wanted were sandwiches, but ended up... more

First place we went to in Montreal. We were fortunate that there was no line - we arrived around 2pm - and were seated right away. Our server was super nice and helped us order since it was our first time. We both got the medium fatty smoked meat sandwich, a pickle, french fries, and a black cherry soda (apparently the most popular items on the menu). The sandwich was really good and I would... more

A Montreal landmark, now owned by Celine Dion and her husband Rene Angelil. Come and check out why people stand in line starting at 10 a.m. to get a table! Definitely busier during the Summer months and on week-ends but sooooo worth the wait - you have never tasted smoked meat like this! (Note to all the New Yorkers who say it's the same as pastrami - nay nay, not so!!!). Open till 2 a.m. on... more

This is a must eat in Montreal! If you like Kat'z in New York, then you will also like this. I actually prefer this over Kat'z. The meat is fattier and much tastier in my opinion. Don't bother line up for the restaurant unless you are dying to sit down. Next door does take away sandwiches, and it MUCH quicker.

Look for the steamed-up windows! This is one of those Montreal legends, but it's so small we nearly walked right by it. And when the waiter asks if you want regular or fatty smoked meat, of course say fatty. Or is it 'lean' vs. 'regular'? At any rate, get the fattier end of the brisket--why not? You're on vacation. (Smoked meat is the name of the game here--like pastrami, but so much better!)

Schwartz's smoked meat are to die for. The flavors are wonderful and the texture is awesome. The 'sandwiches' are really just a huge stack of these lovely smoked meat in between two little slices of rye bread. Any normal sandwich stores would easily make 4-5 sandwiches out of the amount of meat you get here. Really not bad for such an inexpensive sandwich.

Most of the time there is a fairly... more

My brother in law had really talked up the 'smoked meat' of Montreal, so it was a 'must try', on our visit here. We ordered the smoked meat sandwich on rye, with a sides of chips, coleslaw and cherry cola to drink. The meat is just like corned beef that we make at home, nicely salty, but hardly a hint of smoky taste. The coleslaw was a good contrast to the meat. The rye bread was really tasty... more

Smoke meat. Sooooo good!

A must do in Montreal!! Famous for their Smoked Meat Sandwiches.

You'll need your passports to get over the border and head to Montreal (2 hours). This is our favorite sandwich shop and waiting in line is totally worth it!!!

Whenever my family an I are in Montreal, this is #1 on our list. And we always buy extra to bring home. Best smoked meat around!

Best smoke meat in Montreal!!!

This is one of Montreal's icons. There's always a very long line outside. The smoked meat is delicious!

Delicious sandwiches, huge portions, excellent and friendly servers and it's an incredibly popular place so be prepared for long lines

This classic Montreal deli definitely lived up to its hype.

No matter what time of day you visit Schwartz there is always a line of people waiting to be seated. And for good reason! This place has some of Montreal's best smoked meat sandwiches. These award winning sandwiches are worth the wait, and are so loved by the community that they even created a musical about this place.

When you go inside, it's almost always crowded. Even though it's wall to... more

Définitivement un classique de montréal

If you're in town, this is a place not to be missed. Schwartz's is a Montreal institution. There is always a lineup outside in order to get in... The place to try world-famous Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. Worth waiting in the super long lineup outside... more

The lines are long as the deli is famous :) It is at least famous enough that someone created a musical about it called Schwartz: The Musical!

Schwart'z seems to be a must-go tourist spot for the famous Montreal smoked meat. We got there around lunch time on Canada Day, and the lines were quite long. We cheated and snucked into the take out area and waited around 5 minutes for our food... more

I had a half smoked meat sandwich with fries and cherry coke. To die for and worth lining up 20 minutes. Pure heaven!

OK, I admit it, a deli is my idea of good food. I've been to delis from NYC to LA and each one has its own distinct and inimitable flavor and when planning the trip to Montreal, first on my list was a trip to Schwartz's, of which I had heard a lot. I wish I had had a conflict the night we went to try it, however; it would have spared me the disappointment. After eating, I wasn't sure I had been... more

Schwartz's: The world-famous Hebrew delicatessen

Schwartz's is a small place on the St. Laurent Boulevard, but it's super-famous for its smoked meat. Lots of celebrities have eaten there. There are usually crowds of people waiting outside, though if you're alone or only a party of 2, you won't have to wait long since they can seat you at the bar instead of waiting for a table to be available.

Don't even bother coming in if you're a... more

The original, the best. If you want smoked meat, this is the best place anywhere in Canada.

However, lineups are common especially at lunch time which means you could wait a while to get in, and the place is so small that sitting can sometimes be awkward for a larger-than-average person. You’ll certainly have to sit next to someone you don’t know, but that’s part of the experience. It gets hot and humid in there… it’s not the type of place you want to spend an hour chatting after... more

Schwartz's: A Montreal institution

I live in a suburb of Montreal and yes we have a great city. If you want to have the full Montreal experiance(if the weather permits)have a drink on one of the many terrasses in the old port, Cresent street or Saint Laurant/ St. Lawrence Blvd. Also try one of our deli's one of the best is Schartz's on the Main St. Lawrence Blvd. Good luck, I hope I was helpful.

Favorite Dish: SMOKED MEAT!!

Schwartz's: You Have To Do This At Least Once

Montreal smoked meat is synonymous with Montreal, so you really can't say you've been to Montreal without trying it! There's a line-up outside Schwartzs pretty much anytime you wanna eat here. But don't worry, there usually isn't that long of a wait. If you're lucky you'll get a seat even if you're not at the front of the line, simply because there's a space available for your group number. So... more

Smoked meat mecca

When in Montreal a lunch trip to Schwart's Deli is a must, not just for the outstanding smoked meat sandwiches but for the history and culture that comes on the side. No extra charge. First you wait in a huge line up made up of both tourists and locals. Chat it up. Make a friend. Then you are squished into a small table with the next party in uncomfortably close proximity. Yet all of this... more

Schwartz's: Do you like Salted Cured Meats?

I was very excited about sampling the world famous smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz's. In the early 90s I heard Jim Rome raving about it and have wanted to visit Montreal ever since to give it a try. It didn't matter that I had no idea what smoked meat was, I yearned for it. When I read the Schwartz's reviews on VT and discovered smoked meat was a cousin to pastrami, I was even more enamored.... more

Schwartz's: A Montreal institution

Schwartz's is Montreal's world-famous Hebrew deli. What makes it so famous is its smoked meat, which has been voted many of times the best in town. Several other restaurants in Montreal also serve smoked meat, but Schwartz's has that special touch, perhaps because it has stayed in the same, seemingly unchanged building for 80 years. (This means there is always a lineup, whether it's 12 p.m. or... more

Schwartz's: Tourist trap that's worth visiting

Just because Montreal is a French speaking town doesn't mean the food is all heavy cream and fondue. Montreal is famous for it's smoked meat. And from what I've found, Schwartz's is the best place to get it. You may have to wait on line a bit, but it goes pretty fast. Also, I've seen groups of people seated in different sections of the restaurant. Realize that this is a place to eat and not... more

Schwartz's: Smoked meat-the sequel

I was so disappointed by Ben's I thought we just have to try Schwartz's to see how it compares. So after eating that HUGE portion of poutine at La Banquiese, we headed over to Schwartz's for our last meal in Montreal. It was about 2:45 pm when we arrived and although they were busy, there wasn't a huge line like I expected. Perhaps the key to eating here is to go a little off normal lunch and... more

Schwartz's: World famous smoked meat

This small restaurant has been around since 1928. There is always a line up to get in on any nights. Very plain inside, the wall is decorated with newspaper and magazine clippings about the world famous restaurant. The place has an old diner atmosphere from the 70s. If you get to sit at the 'bar', you can see stacks of fresh whole smoked meat. The food is served quickly. The wait to get inside... more

I went to this place because a collegue in Calgary told me that it was the best meat in town... and I discovered a very typical old steakhouse! The place looks like an old butcher shop and the walls covered by all kinds of old pictures... so nothing trendy and no fancy decoration but the real original atmosphere! I took the traditionnal smoked meat sandwich and I discovered what you see on the... more

This is it. The smoked meat of all smoked meats.
The real thing.
Their steak combos are also to die for.
This is heaven for meat lovers.

Schwartz's: Schwartz's: "The Oldest Deli in Canada"

People lineup patiently outside to get in as though waiting to get into a trendy nightclub. Once inside, Schwartz's looks more like the floor of a stock exchange than your run-of-the-mill deli. People occupy absolutely all the tables, every stool at the counter is taken by people eating large sandwiches; standing room only. And it's still crowded! A waiter fights his way through the throng of... more

World famous Schwartz's, serving the best smoked meat from the original recipe of spices since 1927. Schwartz's prepares smoked meat the old-fashioned way using a secret blend of fine herbs and spices marinated for 10 days.

Imagine walking through the door and taking a step back 75 years into "Main Street" history in Montreal. A "true" Montreal landmark that has welcomed celebrities and... more

This is the most famous smoked meat restaurant in all of Montreal. It's been a local institution since 1927. There's really not much I can say about it other than I had to try it out for myself!

After waiting in line, I was seated next to my friend and a local family of 4. The atmosphere is fast-paced, busy, seemingly-chaotic but under control. It really feels like you're in an old movie... more

Schwartz is a something of an establishment in Montreal. This is hard to believe as you walk past it because of its non-descript appearance, but you only need to walk in and taste the smoked meat to know why it is so popular. Expect to queue up for a while...... especially if you are in a big group, but dont be put off by the long wait.... a trip to Montreal would not be complete without a trip... more

Schwartz's has been slicing smoked meat in Montreal since 1927. It is the tradition of traditions when it comes to restaurants.

Does it offer the best smoked meat in the city? Not necessarily, but it has a very interesting ambience and it's wonderful to be able to say, "I've been to Schwartz's"!

My rule of thumb would be to wait no more than 15 minutes. If you can get in then great; otherwise... more

Amazing. Very busy, bustling everyday with people getting montreal smoked meat. For $4.50 you get a sandwich with about 2 inches of steamed 'meat' (=beef) with a dab of mustard.

Add a kosher pickle, and let your mouth water.

I've gotta admit, it looks a bit grungy, but boy was it good, and fresh. There's stacks of smoked beef brisket in the window, and apparently they make that much up every... more

Schwartz's is a small restaurant on St-Laurent. Don't be deceived by the looks. It is definetly the best smoked meat sandwich I have ever had! I had good feedback from my buddy regarding the pickles as well (I'm not a big fan). You can also just order a plate full of meat I think. I wish I had known since I would have done that! Next time I guess. I definetly reccomend this restaurant. It is a... more

Schwartz's for a vegetarian was a hard sell, but I made somewhat of a meal from the coleslaw and pickles. Get the half sour pickles, they're the closest to NYC pickles you can get up there.

Favorite Dish: Half Sour Pickles - the freshest tasting.

Like all big cities, Montreal offers you a vast selection of restaurants.

I don't have any personal favourite, but the person visiting Montreal must have a Smoked Meat Sandwich. Some say Schwartz's on St. Laurent street has the best while other's might argue that Dunn's have the best so we'll let you decide.

Thanks to Redlats for pointing out Ben's Deli!

Ok, I'm doing my own poll here: Where... more

I used to live right by that restaurant so would stop there whenever I can. It's opened very long hours so you can go at almost anytime.

The restaurant is tiny. No reservation and no chatting for hours in there... The 60yrs-old ave staff will make you feel like it's time to get out... You don't go there for service or atmosphere, you go there for the food.

I'm quite impressed that although... more

HOLY C@!P! The smoked meat sandwich here is delicious and big! It doesn't look big but damn, it was filing.

The dining area is often packed so when we were there, we just got the sandwich to go and ate in the comfort of the a/c'ed McGill lounge. HEHEHEHEH

Favorite Dish: The smoked meat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sandwich. The meat was flavourful and just melts in your mouth.

Schwartz's delicatessen and Ben's delicatessen.
There is two great kind of smoked meat, you have the New-York style and you have the Montreal style. Here is the Montreal style!!!

Schwartz's still serves the best smoked meat in the city using the original recipe of spices since 1930. The place doesn't look like much, but the food is great and plenty at reasonable price.

Ben's is an excellent... more

Unargueably the best smoked meat in town, in Canada, perhaps the world. And no, it's not corned beef, and it's not pastrami either (*gasp*! to call it such is almost blasphemous!!) - so good in fact, that people from all over the world have it shipped out and tourists usually end up taking at least a pound or so home with them.

This place won't win any awards for decor, ambience or cozy... more

This place has to be experienced to really appreciate the hustle bustle of this classic deli. It's a bit of a greasy spoon and a sure throwback to 50's, and a not to miss Montreal dining experience!

Favorite Dish: Though the sandwiches are quite small compared to NYC deli's, the prices are about half, so bite right into one of their absolutely packed smoked meat sandwiches, and wash it down... more

Schwartz's deli / or/ The Main
Schwartz is considered by many as the best smoked meat in the world.

Favorite Dish: Montreal Smoked Beef

Ben's Delicatessen & Restaurant
Ben's Deli & Restaurant is a Montreal landmark that has been in business since the begining of the century.It was open in 1908 by Ben Kravitz who started selling smoked meat sandwiches based on a recipe provided to him by his Lithuanian mother.

Schwartz's Charcuterie Hebraique
This place is very popular. The servers are very brusque and the food is very good!

Favorite Dish: The best place for corned beef for a long ways!
