First time in Montreal and first time at Schwartz's. It's a simple, humble and very friendly place serving surprisingly great smoked brisket. The meat was so tender, juicy (glistening fat, love it!) and just all-around good! The people there are so nice and friendly, not to mention patient. Service is quick paced but as a first time diner, I was not rushed to order. Overall, great experience. Also, they take US and Canadian currency. It was my last day in Montreal and I did not have enough Canadian bills to pay for the meal (cash only place). and even though they have an ATM available, they took my US bills as well. I paid with a mixture of US and Canadian money and I felt bad about it, but they said "No Worries!" with genuine smiles and off I went on my way.
