| - The best of Montreal smoked meat comes to Toronto! Friendly people, genuine smiles, delicious and tender meat. Takeout, dine out... Make it happen. Just get the meat plate. Do it.
It's MELT IN YOUR MOUTH tender. They marinate the meat for TEN DAYS!!! TEN DAYS. That's 240 hours. That meat spent more time marinating than you did studying for your final exams. Goodness, that piece of meat spent more time marinating than you spent *procrastinating* for your final exams.
It is ridiculously, unreal, flavourful. The kind of food you do a double take at as it just softly crumbles in a wave of fresh flavour tenderness into your taste buds, basically melding heaven and earth for a second.
Oy.
They haven't finalized their menu for the grand opening yet, but I got the meat plate for $15.50. And yes, it was worth it.
I don't even want to write this review because it means more people will know about it, and this is one of those places that part of you wants to keep a secret so you never have to line up.
Except that's not spirited Yelping... So here you are. You're welcome.
You ever line up or see a line up at Schwartz Deli in Montreal? Yeah, it's like Black Friday and you're wondering if it's even worth it. But you line up. And you wait. And you wait. And you order. And yes, it is worth it. Schwartz is every bit the tourist attraction in Montreal.
EXCEPT NOW IT'S RIGHT HERE IN NORTH SCARBOROUGH. The owners of this spot used to work at Schwartz - the very same - and have now brought their talents to the 416.
I wasn't paid for this review but I would actually agree to work for them in a heartbeat if they paid me in sandwiches. I need to find nutritional information on this because if it's going to be so close to my workplace, I'm going to need to know the consequences of eating here weekly.
Fast Facts:
*The bread isn't that special. It's the meat. The bread was a bit dry.
*It's a deli spot - not many options for vegetarians. Saw french fries on the menu though.
*Halal options here - just ask
