Jewish deli sammies.
Arrive hungry bc it's a good size…read moresammie.
+. Ambiance is cramped tourist packed Montreal's Jewish deli like 2nd ave and Katz's. Everything is a bit smaller here ( DR, menu etc). The line snaked around for about 30 minutes depending on the size of your party.
++. Food-wise, theirs' are smoked meats not corned and more limited menu than the American delis. I had the smoked meat with double mustard on light rye with a cherry soda. They don't offer bread choices here. It was warm and came out quickly. It was a tad dry even though I didn't order it "lean" so I added a pickle. You can order it fat if you want it moist. I wouldn't order it lean here. The pickle was very ripe and added some moisture. My sandwich was delicious and hit the spot!
++. Service was fast and easy. The deli service style is very much in line with busy traditional delis with high turns found in NYC and Chicago. Helps if you know what you want when you sit down and order right away. Otherwise, you'll have to flag down the servers or wait 'til they come around again.
+. Price was quite reasonable for the sandwich quality and quantity. My sammie, pickle, soda, tax and tips came to $33 CAD.
=. Parking is paid street except during this Labor Day weekend, Saint Laurent was closed to vehicles. Walking and public transportation are best options.
Overall,Schwartz's is a fine tuned Jewish deli serving select menu at a reasonable price. I would def visit again :)
