looks much more intimidating then it is - the line is super long to eat lunch there, but if you are just getting take out, its much shorter. Also, dont go at peak hours.

Remember how great NYC brisket used to taste? It still tastes that gooood, at Schwartz's Charcuterie Hebraique de Montreal.

This place has been hyped by the media over the years as having the best smoked meat in Montreal. It is only hype. Schwartz's has possibly the worst smoked meat in Montreal. It is stringy, full of fat and dripping with grease... just aweful. Visitors to Montreal should try Dunn's (various lacations), Quebec Smoked Meat (Centre street in Pointe-St-Charles), Smoked... more

The smoked meat sandwich was excellent. Both my wife and I enjoyed it immensely and her palate is usually a lot more sophisticated than mine. The waiter was extremely friendly and the service was excellent. The staff spoke english well, so don't be intimidated if you don't speak French! more
