| - It was the first time my wife and I visited Montreal and we heard that we had to hit Schwartz's Deli. It was a hot and humid day in the city and I just walked up a good sized hill, so I was a sweaty mess. We figured the place with about 10 people waiting outside the door was our place.
We got in and I was surprised at how small it was. There were about 40 seats and the table next to you is about a foot and a half away. I could tell the 2 15 year old girls next to me were not happy too happy to have a 220 pound mess eating next to them. Believe me, I wasn't happy either. I should have taken the metro.
I ordered the lean smoked beef, it looks a lot like a corn beef sandwich that comes on Rye bread with a little bit of mustard. My wife got half a loaf of bread and was very happy. It was actually quite a lot of food for her. I would have liked a little more mustard, which I added about halfway through.
The sandwich wasn't overwhelmingly large like Katz', it was actually lunch sandwich size, maybe a little large.
Also, it was only 7 bucks. Perfect amount for what you got. Very fair. Plus they took American money. Happy time!
I should have got the medium fat, because the lean as super lean, if I would come here more than once I would have lean, but I would have liked a little more flavor.
Our waiter was awesome, got us in and out of there, refilled the water often. Overall, a great first lunch in Montreal!
