| - Holy Moses, this is one good sandwich. You can find smoked meat at quite a few places in Montreal, but the rest are just fakers. No one can quite get the fat-to-meat ratio exactly right like Schwartz's! Slap on some mustard and eat it up, Joe!
Some things that others haven't mentioned:
-Service here, while generally good, can be hit or miss. Some servers aren't always pleased with some of the blatantly American tourists ("Whaddya mean y'all don't have hamburgers?") and, honestly, I can't blame them. As long as you're not obnoxious, you should get decent service.
-The fries aren't always so good.
-The black cherry soda is called Cott's, and it appears to only be available in Montreal...you can't even find it in Quebec City. If you don't have one, you're missing the full experience at Schwartz's.
-Smoked meat is NOT the same as corned beef or pastrami! It is in a class by itself.
-Seating is sort of Darwinian, but that's part of the fun. If you're looking for private and sexy, you're missing the point and probably shouldn't even set foot in here in the first place. But if you are truly a gastronome of the highest caliber, mangez vous!
