This is as good as it gets. Small place on Saint Laurent. Original location since it opened in the 50's i think lol. Probably the same decor as when it opened but why change it. It works. Im a huge fan of Montreal smoked met but living in Toronto we have those places around but they fall short of the original. Schwartz's is the original and have not changed a thing since when they started. no matter what time of day you go you are waiting in line. The line does move pretty fast. This isn't your typical restaurant where you sit around and chat when you are done eating. When you are done eating GET UP and GET OUT as there are many others waiting for your spot. They have many items on the menu but why go there and not order the world famous smoked meat sandwich. The amount of meat that I saw being prepared in the half hour I was there was more than your typical butcher shop. My sandwich came piled high and still warm out of teh smoker. The meat was super fresh, warm and tasty. My fries were crispy and cooked to perfection The pickle was more like a cucumber found my self eating it with a fork and knife. Schwartz's is by far the best Montreal smoked meat I have ever had I just wish it was closer. Every-time im in Montreal Schwart's is a MUST.
