About Schwartz's
Schwartz's is a deli on Saint-Laurent Boulevard known for Montreal smoked meat, dating back to 1928. It is one of the city's most famous food landmarks, and its smoked meat and spice rub are now sold in grocery stores too.
It suits visitors looking for a classic Montreal meal and locals showing friends around. Order a smoked meat sandwich on rye with mustard, with a pickle and fries on the side. Expect a line at busy times, as the dining room is small. If you cannot make it in, the grocery store version and the spice rub bring a taste of the Main home.
