Ok, I'm one of the few lucky Calgarians that gets to travel to Montreal for work a couple times a year and when that happens, what do I always think, GIDDIE UP TASTE BUDS. of course when I first started traveling there, Montreal Smoked Meat, Bagels, and Poutine were what I I heard about and needed to find (trust me - Montreal offers so much more for food!!!!). That being said my journey started with Schwartz's as it's on of the 'most notable'. It was really good, but I had a long time workmate who lives and grew up in Montreal recommend the Main Deli across the street - I found it equally good without the wait.
Now introduce Calgary. I first went to Myrhe's when it was called Palace of Eats, named after a diner on Calgary's Stephen Ave that lasted a long time. Not sure why the name change but I preferred Palace of Eats as a name. Regardless the smoked meat sandwiches are the same - quite a few options of mustards - and basically a really awesome sandwich. I would like to know where they get their smoked meat from and plan to ask next time I'm there.
They also serve Nathan's Hot Dogs - I love a good dog now and then, haven't had one here but have had Nathan's in the States - plan to be trying one here soon!!!.
Add some pics of my latest lunch.
Happy Full Belly Everyone!
