Schwartz’s – a Montreal food institution

If you’re looking for a great eat for a good price, and you’re not too concerned about cholesterol or fat for a change, you have to, just have to, try Schwartz’s if you’ve not tried it before. And if you have tried it before, it’s time to go back!

For visitors to Montreal and people who aren’t familiar with Schwartz’s, it’s a delicatessen that has been part of Montreal since the 1920s. There’s even been a film made about it, called Chez Schwartz.

The restaurant is known for its long line-ups, quick and no-nonsense service, and good food. Many (and I mean many!) celebrities and public figures have eaten at Schwartz’s and many people come to Montreal for the first time knowing that they have to check it out. Ex-Montrealers often have orders to bring back smoked meat from Schwartz’s to other ex-Montrealers, where ever they may be.

Their menu is on-line so you can check it out before you go.

If you’re in a real rush, they have a take-out window now, so you don’t have to stand in line with those who want to sit down to eat their meal.
