This was clearly our favorite meal in Montreal. After walking uphill for what felt like 2 miles, we finally got to Schwartz. There was no way I was leaving Montreal without having a smoked meat sandwich here. My husband and I had just eaten a large lunch but that didn't stop us from having a smoked meat sandwich.
We order a sandwich (not super fatty) and seriously inhaled it while repeating that we weren't hungry. The manager came by to check on us and see how we were doing. We struck up a conversation with him and he told us that Celine Dion just bought part of Schwartz. (I guess those Vegas concerts aren't doing so well for her??) He also told us about Bourdain's stopover there. Since we were tourists, they also shared some great local places to eat during our stay in Montreal.
Overall, the service was great and the smoked meat was to die for!!
