| - On my recent first trip to Montreal, a close Quebecois friend of mine INSISTED that we make a stop at Schwartz, noting it to be the best smoked deli place there is. As he is a native of the region, I trusted his instincts, as I am all about trying new places that are local and provide an excellent selection of foods.
Soooo, one day after work...Schwartz it was. From Rue de la Montagne, we even walked approximately 35 minutes to get to Schwartz via Sherbrooke. And if this means anything to you reading this...it was well worth it. I would have walked 8 more miles if I had to, considering the amazing smoked meat on those sandwiches, laid back neighborhood friendly atmosphere, and very reasonable prices.
Upon entering, because this place had no available table, we opted to go sit at the "bar". No, there is no liquor service here, just amazing food. Once seated, the guy behind the counter immediately started asking for our orders, for which we opted for combo smoked sandwiches, orders of fries, and cherry cola for me.
When the sandwiches arrived, we were all focused and quiet, devouring our food. I personally preferred tasting every bite, as this was indeed a very tasty treat. Just enough fat, topped with a tad of mustard, and wrapped in freshly baked bread. Simple, tasty, delicious! Sometimes, keeping things simple is the way to go.
What's next? I must go back next time to try their other smoked treats. now I have an excuse to venture back to visit our neighbors up north!
