To my dearest foodies,
This is my first time to visit Schwartz's Montreal Smoked Meat. I found recommendations on the web as well as from friends that persuaded me to visit this 78-year-old deli place. And there's continuously a line up of at least 10 people outside the door. We arrived at 1pm and waited 15 mins for a table to share with another couple. Their menu is short, sandwiches of 5 different kinds of meat, side orders and extras. The 3 of us tried their most famous smoked meat sandwich with mustard, fries, coleslaw and a pickle. We ordered the meat with a little fat and it came warm and quiet juicy. The hand-carved meat gave a distinct texture that grocery stores can't compare, although the bread is a light rye that doesn't surprise me at all. I am not a pickle person but the other 2 side dishes are good, fries fresh from the oil and made to order, the coleslaw is to die for for the perfect sourness and crispyness. Yum Yum!
Price is not cheap but it's ok, $4.75 for the smoked meat sandwich and the extras ranges from $1.50 to under $2. With drinks we just came under $10 each.
Oh, we learned that not to mess with the waiter, you HAVE to follow their routine, let them put the plate ON your table and don't say anything before he is done, or you risk yourself being harassed or make fun with. He did 3 groups of people at a time, I was only asking my friend if one of the pickles are for us and I got a shoo... ah well, he is one funny guy.
