Been putting off returning to Schwartz's over the years because it's so damn busy. Every time I'm in Montreal I try to satisfy my smoked meat cravings with the likes of Lester's, Rubens or Main because I didn't want to wait in line forever. But none of those really hit the spot.
Then today I realized that they have the location next to the dine-in for take away. Great choice. Quick service - in and out.
Nothing really beats Schwartz's in terms of smoked meat. Nothing. It is a little bit of a cliche but there's a reason why people line up to eat at these guys.
