Schwartz's is Montreal's world famous Hebrew deli. It is famed for it's smoked meat, which happens to be the BEST sandwich in the entire world.\n\nSmoked meat is found throughout Montreal but Schwartz's has that certain \"je ne sais quoi\" special touch.\n\nHistory shows that it has stayed in the same, unchanged for EIGHTY years! There is always a lineup, no matter the time of day, or day of the week. The wait has not usually long in my experience.  I have been fortunate on several occasions of getting a seat even from the back of the line, simply because there was space available to accommodate my group of two. \n\nBe prepared to share a table with strangers. I can testify that in my many visits,  I have never had unpleasant table buddies.\n\nMontreal smoked meat is synonymous with Montreal.  You really cannot state that you have been to Montreal without trying Schwartz's smoked meat! \n\nBig chunks of salty meat, smoked over charcoals on rye bread = beyond delicious. This really is one of those places that has become a legend for a reason.
