Smoked meat and poutine are Montreal's contributions to the culinary world. While made from brisket, Montreal-style smoked meat is nothing like Texas brisket, or really, like anything else. Highly seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth tender, purveyors such as Reuben's stack the smoked meat high on rye bread with a smattering of yellow mustard. While I have yet to experience this delicacy from the mythical Schwartz's, I'd have to say that the smoked meat from Reuben's is the best I've had in Montreal.
