When you walk past the door of the restaurant, you’re going back in time by decades. Founded in 1928 by Reuben Schwartz, a Jewish immigrant from Romania, the restaurant has a unique dining room with many rows of long narrow tables. It’s always filled to capacity for both lunch and supper. Barely renovated over time, the décor has kept its original character.
Authentically Traditional
Since 1928, Schwartz’s has kept the authenticity of its tradition. Unlike other delis that use preservatives, Schwartz prepares its smoke meat in the traditional manner, with a secret blend of herbs and spices, marinated for 10 days.
A Famous Feast

Celine Dion, Nana Mouskouri, Jean Chrétien, Ken Dryden, Jerry Lewis, Guy Lafleur, Jean Béliveau, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, The Rolling Stones… The list of celebrity guests at Schwartz’s is pretty impressive.
