Still narrow and loud and you definitely have to line up. We ended up on the take-out side as the line was slightly shorter. Enjoyed watching them slice up the meat and put together the sandwiches. Fries were good too!

Mike,

One of the funniest meals on my life was at Schwartz’s in 2000 while covering the Montreal Audio Show. We stood outside in the cold for an hour on a Friday night and we met some real characters inside.

It is still narrow and loud?

We sat near the small grill that they used for the steaks and the smell was awesome to me — just not for my dinner companion.

Toronto lost its soul when all of the delis started to close. Pancer’s might be the only “real one left.

Ian

Went to Scwhartz’s in Montreal on a recent trip to Quebec as we’d never been before. Would have to agree that 90% of the customers, maybe more are tourists, also reflected in the $13.50/sandwich price!
