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.

This restaurant does two things right, sort of! One: Great marketing for a really lousy, nasty restaurant. Two: Speedy service but that’s because the restaurant is treated like a production line. We arrived at 11:40 in the morning and there was no line up. Upon entering we immediately noticed that it was dirty and cramped. In fact, so cramped we were seated with strangers and required to share condiments. This is the norm and not exceptional. The waiter who informed us there were no combos,

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.
