| - Schwartz deli is my go to place when I get out of the Pierre Trudeau airport.
My mother used to take me here for lunch I'd split a sandwich with my sisters and some fries, nothing beats their warm cuts of meat and trip to flavor town.
Parking seems to work out okay there's usually a spot on the street and don't forget to use your credit/ debit or cash at the meters, you will get a ticket in Montreal.
I am lucky to say I have yet to experience a huge line or any line for that matter at Schwartz's ! I've always had timing that I sit right down at one of the large tables side by other people, or at the bar, it all works.
I order the medium sandwich, my fiancé likes to try the platter, it's pilled high half a fresh loaf sliced rye bread, a plate mounded with the tender smoked meat.
I always add more of the mustard thats on the table.. success. We share a fries, and a couple of waters. We have also tried the steak platter as a appetizer and its good and flavorful, but the great is in the smoked meat sandwich. My sis likes a cherry coke to make her meal complete.
The customer service is great, I personally like the old school look of the uniforms and the whole inside in itself, posters and framed articles galore!
I asked the cashier about Celine Dion and ownership, she told me its Renee her husband who shows up now and then, and one time Celine came in and bought the entire restaurant's lunch that day, which is a nice gesture.
The bathrooms are tiny tiny so I'm sure no big people can use the bathrooms here.
Remember to bring cash here! They do have an ATM inside, and there are ATM's outside nearby as well, but save yourself the hassle. They also welcome Canadian and American money, both with a Canadian currency outcome.
Of all Smoked meat I've had Schwartz is for sure the best hands down. My fiance is a fan now too. You can't leave or come to Montreal without trying the amazing sandwiches, they have it down and are very consistent in quality.
