"A close view of a smoked meat sandwich we ordered 'fatty.' To our taste, it was just right: warm, spicy meat with just the right amount of fat to infuse every bite with sheer succulence."
Michael Stern
"The window display at Schwartz's won't likely win any design awards, but for customers waiting in line, these spiced, smoked briskets are a beautiful thing."
Michael Stern
"These excellent French fries are among a number of side dishes to complement a sandwich. Also available are half-sour and dill pickles, pickled red peppers, olives and cole slaw."
Michael Stern
"Not kosher, but kosher-style, Schwartz's was started in 1928 by Romanian immigrant Rueben Schwartz. It's enough of a Montreal institution to have inspired its own stage play: 'Schwartz's: The Musical.'"
Michael Stern
"Smoked meat is great, but what launches a deli sandwich into the stratosphere is excellent rye bread. At Schwartz's, it is impeccably fresh and, with plenty of mustard, meat's best friend."
Michael Stern
"This is a smoked meat sandwich with medium fat. It is the most tender meat I have ever eaten... it falls apart as soon as you pick it up! Well worth it after trekking through Mt. Royal to get there (in the rain!)."
Amanda
"The crowd is an essential part of the Schwartz's experience. Needless to say, this boisterous eat place is not where you want to go for a romantic meal or private conversation. "
