It's the first thing someone says when you get off the plane, train or bus in Montreal, "make sure you go to get Schwartz's". With that in mind they're done a pretty good job of keeping it real despite the-times-they-are-a-changing...
They still smoke their own meat in house (and that's a big deal especially with how much they serve), and after trying many other around the city they are and will continue to be the unique one of the bunch. Their meat and the ambiance can't really be compared - mustard and meat juiced hands down.
The staff have an amazing camaraderie that is very hard to come by in today's world of high turn over restaurant staff. Obviously this place has gotten and continues to get a lot of hype. One the owners is just a tad well known around the world, and yes I'm a fan. Go Celine go.
Huge shout out to the manager, head slicer and staff for being there day in and day out. Even when they could have an attitude of smoked meat 'kindomship', or old school arrogance, they are respectful and humble.
A lean to medium-fat sandwich with a bottle of mustard in one hand, and a Cott black cherry soda in the other - it's a treat and an experience that I still enjoy ... My Expos cap off to them.
