i HATE Delis. I'm just not a fan. Even the ones that load up the meat just don't seem to taste good or are way too disproportionate to their bread. That being said...\n\nSchwartz's Deli is not like the others. Just to clarify, it is like every other deli I've been to, BUT it just tastes that much better. Period. Classic diner look that serves up hot and freshly sliced smoked meat. It smells incredible the entire time you're there. It's famous in Montreal and is featured on so many media outlets out there and for good reason. \n\nWhat I love about Schwartz's is the thickly cut slices of smoked beef with perfect seasoning and little edges of fat outlining the slices. It's juicy, hot, and has that perfect smokey taste and smell. There's so much meat, but not too much that it's not a sandwich anymore. The thick cut slices of rye bread form the best vessel for this meat as it can soak up the juices without sogging the bread. With a thin layer of mustard to complete the sandwich, you have yourself wondering why this place doesn't expand elsewhere. \n\nSome delis pride themselves on giving you so much meat, that you're pretty much using a knife and fork on a bunch of sliced meat.....No sir. Schwartz's makes sandwiches. And they do a damn good job of it.
