Some foods just don’t pair as well with a great wine.Īs Romanian immigrant, Reuben Schwartz, was a Kosher Jew and could not eat pork, beef was the protein of choice, and much more readily available than it was in Eastern Europe. The double crisp fries and the iconic pickle each contribute to the dining pleasure. Black pepper, coriander seed, garlic, mustard seed, bay leaf, and other aromatics are combined with the smoke and process to create this unforgettable taste of place. Montreal Smoked Meat contains very little to no sugar on the rub. Therefore, when you order fatty or lean smoked meat, you’ll receive meat from a different portion of the whole brisket. The whole brisket in Canada includes part of the American brisket and navel. The brisket in Canada is butchered differently than that of the United States.
So what makes Montreal Smoked Meat different from other deli meats? First, it is cut. The first piece literally melted into a puddle of deeply rich smoky meat flavour on my tongue. Have never forgot that advice, and did not regret it now. Ten years ago, the gal we sat beside could tell we were “first timers” and set about to give us the quick spiel: order fatty. I have come a long way, baby! I would have never let fatty meat pass between my judgmental lips before eating here. If you just want the meat, you can buy it to go, or get it from their new small store next door. Everyone at the table is there for the food and the experience.
At a table with several others, likely from the four corners of the world, you have immediate and interesting dining company. He is that friendly and will quickly usher you to the only 2 empty chairs in the house. Your waiter will be your instant new best friend. Anyone waiting for food in a line up must be crazy, right? All I can say is they are my kind of crazy! I recommend off meal hours for a shorter line up, but this taste experience is worth the wait.
Interestingly, they serve a half sour pickle which is my personal favourite, below, on the right. You can read the menu below, or read it here. I had visions of flying one to Edmonton for 10 years, and now am definitely taking some home. We will never get to the other items on the menu. They smoke turkey, chicken and I have heard their liver is also unforgettable. A giant house made dill pickle, french fries, and a Cherry Coke complete the iconic meal. We were not disappointed.Įighty seven years later, they are still slicing the succulent fat capped briskets by hand and serving the melt-in-your-mouth rich smokey slices on rye bread with mustard. Ten years ago we stood in line like everyone else for our first Montreal Smoked Meat experience here, and have had our mouths watering for more ever since. It has remained unchanged for years with that rare “if it works, don’t change it” appeal. The recent buyout by Celine Dion and Paul Nakis has not affected Schwartz’s Smoked Meat recipe or the restaurant experience. The brisket is then smoked for 8 hours, and finally steamed for three before ready to serve. These days, it is the iconic Canadian Alberta Beef brisket that is marinated raw for 10 days with a secret blend of spices that are also sold in the Deli. There are no chemicals or preservatives in this traditional and top secret family recipe. As a young lad, Schwartz delivered smoked meat by horse and buggy for other wholesalers, but soon realized he could make a better and cheaper product himself in a more natural fashion. Founded in Montreal in 1928 by Romanian immigrant, Reuben Schwartz, Schwartz’s Montreal Smoked Meat set the standard all others rise to meet. Schwartz’s Deli is a Montreal institution therefore, the Montreal Smoked Meat is an important Canadian food. It’s as tender as butter and so succulent, I found myself licking my fingers in public.
