Schwartz's

"This, Canada's oldest deli, is Montréal's answer to Katz's, and just as essential a stop."

"Schwartz's has no frills and could use a decor update, but that's all really beside the point because eating here is all about the thick sandwiches." Full review

"Opened in 1928, this kosher-style Jewish deli marinates its meat for 10 full days before hot-smoking it." Full review

"Landmark deli that's been dishing out delish smoked meat sandwiches since 1928 to the hoardes that gather on the doorstep everyday."

"Jewish immigrants from Romania made smoked brisket a staple of the Montreal diet in 1928 when they opened this Montreal classic deli."

"A Montréal institution: a small, narrow deli serving up colossal smoked-meat sandwiches, with sometimes surly service thrown in as part of the package."

"Schwartz's Hebrew Delicatessen is the most famous smoked meat restaurant in Montreal. The unique flavor of its meat is credited to a 10-day curing process and an 80-year-old brick smokehouse." Full review

"Schwartz’s has smoked the meat daily since 1928 for lineups that stretch down the street." Full review

"The homemade smoked meat, a north-of-the-border take on pastrami, has made this tiny deli a destination since 1928." Full review

"Schwartz's is the quintessential Jewish deli, with understated, neon-lit lunch-counter-style decor...a memorabilia-lined wall, and a long bar with round stools so you can watch the butchers in action." Full review
