Didn't know much about smoked meat. Upon first bite it reminded of dry corned beef.
Schwartz's is best known for their smoked meat and no visit to Montreal can go escaped without a meal here so I've heard.
Popped in at 1:30PM and had to wait 15 minutes for a seat on a Wednesday. Two smoked meat sandwiches, a black cherry soda, and an order of poutine came with a pickle (~30).
Had to add more mustard to the sandwich. Wasn't really a fan of the food. The smoked meat just didn't seem worth even the short wait, hype, or even price. Service was friendly and fast. I bet the two guys who sat next to us were pissed we got our food first since we ordered after them. Cash only with the option of "leaving something extra" for your server. The menu placement doesn't say anything about price, you have to squint at the sparse menu above the counter to get an idea.
