| - Just their slogan is enough. "You Can't Beat Pete's Meat".
You really, really can't.
I pass through Montreal at least once a couple of times a year, and a trip to Smoke Meat Pete is absolutely an essential part of the experience. Why? Simple. Located in L'Île-Perrot, it's a lot easier to get to than Schwarz's. It has parking. And why the Schwarz "experience" is something you need to have once in your lifetime, the food is simply better.
There are often live blue bands playing in the evening, it can get a little noisy... but frankly, if you're looking for romance or for conversation, you probably aren't looking for a smoked meat sandwich. Or, if you are... well, you're doing it wrong.
Cash only - remember that. There's an ATM in the back that will happily extort a big sum from you, but planning ahead will take care of that. It's also not totally easy to find - if you're on A-20, you'll see a Dairy Queen - a really old looking one - it's just behind that. You can cut through the DQ parking lot onto the side street it's on.
Definitely a part of the "greater Montreal" experience.
