Schwartz's

So I know this is suppose a dinner only blog, but I have to share this delightful little find that John and I tried while in Montreal. Before we left for our trip John googled things to do while in Montreal and found that a placed called Schwartz's was a must do and was famous for their smoked meats. Friday morning John and I got up and ate breakfast at the hotel and then headed out to walk around the city. We decided to walk in the direction that Schwartz's is in, turns out there is a ton of shopping. I am not a huge shopper but it was still nice to walk around and see all the shops. After walking for about about an hour we arrived at our destination. We walked in and were surprised at how busy it was! The was only one wall of tables so everyone was crammed in together. John and I were ushered to sit at a 4 person table with 2 locals. The waiter immediately came to our table and asked what we wanted, there was no formal menu so we were thrown a little off guard. He suggested we ordered the smoked meat sandwich which was their most popular dish.

 

As side dishes we ordered fries and a pickle each. The fries were once again the skinny fires which were delicious they had a different taste to them it might be a seasoning or the oil they fry them in? The pickles were also very good they were more a sour dill taste. On to the sandwich it might have been the best deli sandwich ever. John's friend Cart has a challenger for his New York sandwich. The meat was pastrami with a delicious pepper crust served on rye bread. 

   

If you are ever in Montreal and are looking for a good deli sandwich and don't mind sitting at the same table with locals I highly recommend this place.
