"It’s common knowledge that if you find the snaking lines at Schwartz’s discouraging, skip across St-Laurent to Main Deli, just as the poet Leonard Cohen used to do. Its smoked meat is wonderfully moist with peppery undertones, though the restaurant no longer smokes its meat on-site after the original owner Peter Varvaro passed away in 2013." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff
