Went to check out this supposedly VERY famous smoked meat and steakhouse at Boulevard St Laurent today with the gang and it turns out to be yeah not too bad.i mean even angelina jolie ate there, how bad can it be right?? maybe the smoked meat makes you more fertile ahha.. okay LAME.. anyways..because the only smoked meat ive ever eaten in my life was at Reuben's, so i cant really judge the quality since there isnt much comparison, but overall.. i would say well its pretty good food.. and the nostalgic feel of the cafe gives you a kind of warm cosy feeling..oh what can i say? im immersing myself in "the Montreal tradition since 1928". haha..

entrance looks pretty orbiang.. but it smells super good when i stepped in and its super crowded.. lucky we didnt have to line up in the cold.. haha

Schwartz - Original World famous Smoked Meat and SteakHouse

as featured in numerous newspapers and magazines.. framed and put all over the cafe, almost looks like its the wallpaper..

we decided to order an assorted plate to share and self wrap it.. but as you can see.mine is like 1/10 the height of theirs.. i have no idea how they stuff SO many pieces of smoked meat inside the bread.. oh anyway.. these meat were marinated in spices for 10 days.. can u imagine?? poor meat.. haha~ and worst off, i dont even know what meat it is. and was too lazy to ask.. my french seeriously cannot make it.

welll then we left the cafe satisfied.. and were chit chatting laughing happily while walking to the metro when SUDDENLY..

SUDDENLY..

that magical moment appeared once again..

it bloody snowed! this time, its like SNOW SNOW, flaky SNOW, not rain snow ...not flurries.. its bloody SNOW! omg.. its SO bloody magical i almost thought we were seeing things..

so we decided to head to the cafe to do what montrealians do in winter - HOT CHOC!
