Ate here for the first time after learning it was one of Montreal's landmarks. We were very happy and surprised by the quality, quantity, and price of the tasty meats. The line up was non-existent, surprisingly, as we expected to wait a while from other reviews.
We had the turkey and the smoked meat. The turkey was good, but not the best that I have had. Luckily there was mustard on the table for added flavour. The portion size, however, was huge and awesome. Lots of fun to eat.
The smoked meat was amazingly seasoned and very tasty. Definitely recommend having that. We also had the coleslaw which was a little liquidy, but refreshing. The pickle was big and shareable. Always good with a nice deli sandwich.
Kudos to the staff who were funny, welcoming, and entertaining. They also gave us a tip that Celine Dion (who actually is the owner of Schwarz's) was coming in to the restaurant and we actually got to meet her. Totally made the restaurant experience a million times better! They apparently get a lot of celebrities coming to eat there too. So you might get lucky!
