Born in Montreal and been living in Southern California for practically all my life but whenever I return to Montreal to visit family, I always, and I emphasize this, I always go to Schwartz the first night im there!  And I go as much as I can until the end of my trip.  It's the one place I can never forget how good the smoked meat is.  It's soo good that we have even overnighted 2 slabs of smoked meat all the way to LA.   \n\nIt's a tiny place that has a lot of history.  It's busy and the guys behind the counter are fast paced and know exactly what they are doing with the endless years of experience under their belt.\n\nIf you're a tourist from the States or any other place, I highly recommend making this a mandatory stop on places to eat in Montreal!\n\nAs I write this... I'm actually craving a smoked meat sandwich from them ... and it's torture...\n\nThis will forever be my favorite place in Montreal and it has been for close to 20 years!
