1. Schwartz’s Deli

    Smoked Meat American

    A Montreal landmark since the late 1920s, Schwartz's wraps you in decades of photographs and newspaper clippings the moment you enter. The signature smoked meat—brisket cured in house spices, smoked and steamed, then sliced thin onto rye with mustard—remains the reason people queue here, though counter seating and off-peak visits offer escape routes. It is less restaurant than institution.
