we did the non-restaurant side cos the restaurant side looked too packed. smoked meat poutine! we were served up a vat that weighed about 10 lb (not really, but between the wife and i, we could barely put a dent in however much they gave us.).
the eat in area of the non-restaurant side is tiny, just a couple strips of bar seating, but we were able to get seats and stare at the napkin wall (i guess people write odes to schwartz on their otherwise unused napkin).
ireally liked their meat - super tender and not overly salty. i'd come again but if history is any indication (the last time i was in montreal was 1967), it might be awhile.
