At first I was a little surprised to see an old school Kosher butcher and deli in a shopping mall…read morebut as soon as I walked in I realized this place was special. The quality of the meat was second to none and the takeout and deli was delicious. Try the general tsao Chinese chicken and the old fashioned smoked turkey. Out of this world. The knishes are made in-house and they have their own homemade hummus and moroccan salads. The pulled beef was a hit at my Sunday brunch and the kosher bacon was a pleasant surprise! You can't go wrong - there's a reason this place is still around after 60+ years.

I voyaged to canada a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this gem…read more Everything is made/smoked/prepared in house, and all of their meats are top notch. Off the top of my head: Pastrami was amazing. Hot Dogs were really good. Steaks were top notch. Don't be afraid to combine all three of those meats into what I refer to as the Pastramisteakdog... yeah... it's good. I typically don't rate non-restaurant shops, but this deli was out of the ordinary.

Some restaurants are famous for a reason, and Schwartz's is absolutely one of them!…read more After reading about Schwartz's in the Michelin Guide, we knew we had to make a stop during our time in Montréal. The moment we walked in, we were greeted, seated, and asked if it was our first visit. When we said yes, the gentleman immediately pointed to the smoked meat sandwich highlighted on the wall and said, "This is what you want." No further convincing needed! And wow, was he right. The sandwich was piled high with incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth smoked meat, tucked between two relatively thin slices of bread with just a touch of mustard. What impressed me most was the balance. Despite the generous amount of meat, nothing felt overwhelming. The seasoning was beautifully restrained, allowing the richness and flavor of the meat to speak for itself. Sometimes the simplest combinations are the hardest to perfect, and Schwartz's has clearly mastered this one. The atmosphere is an experience in itself. Imagine a restaurant the size of a small apartment, absolutely buzzing with people, yet operating like a well-oiled machine. Guests are constantly coming and going, the staff moves with impressive efficiency, and somehow everything feels organized rather than chaotic. Our food arrived almost immediately, and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive. The walls are covered with photographs of famous visitors and articles documenting the restaurant's history and success. You really get the sense that you're sitting inside a little piece of Montréal history. This isn't somewhere you come for a long, leisurely lunch or an intimate atmosphere. You come for an iconic sandwich, a lively experience, and a restaurant that knows exactly what it does best. Five stars without hesitation. No complaints from us, and absolutely worth every dollar. If you're visiting Montréal, put Schwartz's on your list and trust the recommendation when they tell you what to order!

We had to stop here for the legendary smoked meat sandwich, and they did not disappoint…read more When we arrived, the line appeared to be very intimidating and long however, one line was for those patron wanting to eat in and the other ones were for takeout. The takeout line went fairly fast. We also ordered a black cherry drink, slaw and pickles. The smoked meat sandwich with extremely tender, juicy and tasty. It was a decent serving of meat so my husband and I ordered one sandwich. Make sure you don't miss this spot if you're visiting Canada..

They are known for jewish and kosher deli products. They've got lots of delicious favourites The staff here is super friendly and caring! They have the best babaganoush in all of Montreal and surrounding areas for realll! They even got Half sour nathan's pickles Everything here is super fresh and yummy I can't recommend them enough. Everytime we call they take the time to answer and make sure what we want is in stock! We call ahead before driving since it's a lil drive but nonetheless they actually answer and call us back to make sure they have what we're looking for. The place is very clean and lots of delicious specialties. It's a mix they got a fresh bakery on one side and then ready to eat meals all over the store ans even packaged items in the middle and throughout the store. Overall, wonderful place Amazing and caring staff great service and great items for any holiday event Cheers

After a morning of shopping, Pooh and I came here for lunch…read more We sat on the terrace since the sun was shining. The atmosphere was very casual and the service was friendly. We wanted a Margarita to start but there was no bar service so we had a pint of Rickard's Red. For lunch I ordered a chicken wrap and Pooh ordered the Moe's burger My wrap was warm; the chicken was tender and the mayonnaise aioli was delicious. The fries were crispy and reminded me of a chip wagon! Pooh's burger was very tasty and juicy; it had a bbq flavour. He enjoyed his fries too I took off one star because there was no cocktails

Good kosher food is hard to find in Canada. It's near impossible in Toronto, let alone Ontario…read more I've found one can find good Kosher food in Ottawa, but Montreal is a whole different ball game. Last time I was at Chez Benny was about 6 years ago and I'm still thinking about their Shawarma in a Laffa. I couldn't finish it and I sure as hell wanted to. Mind you, I did have a fantastic lunch for the next day. I'd put it on par with Doctor Laffa in Toronto. But it is delightful to know that there is a great option the next time I travel to Montreal (which I am severely due for). It seems from their website that they have upgraded since I have been there. Can't wait to go again!

I was dragged here by a friends with dietary restrictions. I was pretty excited to get some falafel…read morebut was unfortunately let down. The highlight was the falafel itself. It was tasty and made with green chickpeas which was nice for a change. Everything else was underwhelming. The pitas come straight from a bag without being warmed up. The salads were put in first and the falafel on top so after a few bites, all you have left is salad. Some of the salads were so salty that I couldn't eat it. Compared to other falafel I've had, it was pretty bad. It is overpriced for what it is but I was explained that this is the norm for kosher restaurants. I would not return to this restaurant.

On our 5 day trip to Montreal, we stopped here twice. The smoked meat sandwiches were great, the…read morerye bread was perfect, and while I'm not usually a mayo on beef fan, the garlic mayo was fantastic. We also got poutine which was just so-so. It's as if they offer it because everyone is supposed to serve it in Montreal. (I need to see if it's on the menu at Tim Hortons.) I also had the chopped liver, which was perhaps the best since my bubba died. For those who complain about the quantity of meat vs price, a couple of things to consider. First, 4 ounces is a perfectly respectable sandwich. If you need more than that, go to the states. Second, this is actually a kosher deli, not just kosher "style." That means prices are going to be higher. Part of that is the mechanics of supply and demand. Part of it is due to the structures of what qualifies as kosher meat. If you don't like it, eat treyf.

He seated us in the booth and got our little children settled in with coloring material. He was so gentle spoken with our children, and for that matter, the entire staff was! Our family felt welcomed and not a bother. You would be surprised at how few places make us feel this way, even though our children are calm little beings. Ok, now... to the food! When I hear brisket, I think of Texas styled BBQ, this brisket is different, this is a deli style brisket, think Reuben Sandwiches. The brisket was sliced so thin and was juicy, it was delicious! Our kids had kids meals and in their opinion, the best part was the ice cream at the end . I highly recommend eating here! The staff is friendly, the food is great and overall, just a comfortable place to be! Tip the staff well, trust me, by the time the bill arrives you will already have experienced their top notch service. I don't have pictures to share because we were hungry and ate everything up before I could remember to snap some photos!
