Schwartz's Deli

While we were passing through Montreal, we made a point of taking a quick jaunt to Schwartz's Deli for a smoked meat sandwich. Schwartz's is a Montreal institution with a constant lineup for dine in and take away, a wall of celebrity photos and a poster from the Schwartz's Musical they apparently made a few years back.
Once you're inside you are typically seated wherever there's room, with different groups of people often sharing the same table since every chair is a precious commodity there. We lucked out and were able to sit at the counter to watch the food being prepared and to have a bit more room to ourselves.
Montreal smoked meat is certainly tasty and the pickles they have alongside were nearly large enough to keep Kathryn happy. I find it a bit more rare than I typically go for, but as a once every decade or so treat it is pretty great stuff.
