schwartz's delicatessen

July 24, 2011



It's pretty shameful that it took us nearly a year to make it to Schwartz's, a must-visit spot for pretty much every tourist that comes to Montreal. We had written off smoked meat as an unnecessary indulgence and didn't make it a priority to visit the popular delicatessen until nearly a year after living in this city.

We arrived before it got too busy and got quick and friendly service. Obviously, we each ordered a smoked meat sandwich. Alex added a side of fries and my side of choice was a pickle that was the size of my forearm…. and a black cherry coke for each of us.

I think I talked about how amazing the sandwich was for about a week afterwards. Dare I say it's better than Katz's Deli? Now we just have to see the musical (yes, there's a musical based on a deli, that's how big of a deal this place is in Montréal).

really cute! love the color scheme edits, they remind me a bit of Rad Action Shots apps, do you use those? And I don't eat meat, but if I did, those sandwiches look delightful!

Bisous,

Looks delicious! Did you have a "When Harry Met Sally moment"? Montreal is on my bucket list. As a Canadian, it is ridiculously expensive to fly to the opposite side of the country. I could go to England or France for the same price!
