It’s always nice discovering new places to eat in the city. I myself knew little of these places until they were recommended to me. These places were were quite good…thanks for watching 👍🏾
You’ve got to check out Mekan & Beyond next time! They serve gourmet burgers with everything crafted in-house. Trust me, it’s a taste experience you don’t want to miss! They are highly rated 🍔✨ Great video btw !
@@travels_wright@travels_wright As a retired English teacher, I must say that the script and its narration are exemplary. Bravo. By the way, have you ever heard of Montreal's Chalet BBQ? Their reasonably roast chicken, sauce and fries are addictive.
@TomHuston43 thank you for the compliment! I do take extra care to make sure the delivery is as enjoyable as possible. It’s been sooo many years since I have visited Chalet BBQ. It was very good the last time I went. It might be time to make another visit. I appreciate you mentioning them. Hope you stick around for more content to come 🙏🏾
Your video was excellent and perfect timing..my nephew and I are visiting Montreal next month for a week....I've been saving food videos/places to see for the past 6 months, and your video was the first not to have the usual places on food....we're so excited to visit Montreal!!
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment. Wow, both you and your nephew will be able to discover a lot here in Montreal if you will be staying for a week. Not sure if it’s your first time but I personally feel you will love the city… If you’re curious, I also made part 1 of my food tour on my channel. For activities, I also made a top 30 list video. Hope these can be just as helpful. Let me know how your trip goes ✌🏾
@travels_wright I've watched all of them!!! This is our first time....I will definitely let you know how our trip goes 🙃....I do have a question....we want to visit the Notre dame des neiges cemetery.....does the metro go by there? That's how we're getting around....or should we take an Uber?
Hello! You can take the metro and then the bus. Don’t think it’s too complicated. The cemetery is also right across from Mount Royal park so you can visit both ! Thanks for choosing to watch the videos on this channel. I appreciate the support.
I'm from Montreal and would recommend you try these places also, La Banquise "best Poutine" and Schwartz's for smoked meat and of course Chez Parée , weed is legal and drinking age is 18
Enjoyed this video very much & the other few I’ve watched thus far. Suggestion for future: Not sure if it’s by design or intentional, to omit to mention what to expect to pay at these spots, knowing what kind of price range would be helpful to try out some of these spots for a special occasion or something to do on any given outing and your added experience if the price is worth the higher prices. Keep on! ❤
I really enjoy your videos! So happy you came up with a second part of this 😊 I've been to Joe Beef, and even though it's pricey, I find it's 100% worth it. Was there any place that you enjoyed the most? What was your favorite?
Thanks ! I appreciate you watching. It would really be hard for me to choose as all the food was so good, but the ones that were the most unexpected was Pizza bouquet and kouign Amann
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 👍🏾 ! So this food tour was actually an interesting one for me as well because I have never been to these places and most of them I didn’t even know existed. The food was really good at each of these spots. Hope you get to try a few of them as well👍🏾
Loved this video as much as the first one. And I did something I never usually do : I took notes ! I Will visit many of these spots in the coming year. Thank you !!!
@travels_wright Mount Royal, MTL 🥯 Bagels, riding the REM, Atwater Market and walking the Lachine Canal, Marche Ghanacan and other ethnic markets, Zetti's Creamery, Little Italy (Jean Talon market), and the Caribbean Curry House!! I should be in one of your vids!!
That’s quite the list you have 😅. Good spots IMO. You will be very busy this weekend. I will be out of town for part of the weekend but I am often on the Lachine Canal. If you’re there, let me know.
@@travels_wright Thanks to you 🙏 Just subscribed, I'll leave a comment after my 1st experience, hopefully I can pass by MTL yardie tomorrow, I'm a huge fan of Jamaican food 😋.
Thank you. I genuinely appreciate the support. I would also be curious to hear your thoughts on the resto after you have tried it out. Seeing as you’re a fan of Jamaican food, you can also add Boom J’s to your list after visiting MTL Yardie 👍🏾.
@christianheidt5733 I found the staff and the owner of MTL YARDIE to be friendly and very accommodating! They made me feel really special as a visitor (from Detroit). The food was fantastic, and the portions are very generous. I am definitely returning on my next visit to Montreal. I hope you like it...
all of Joe Beef's restaruants are great, Liverpool House is right next door (Obama and Trudeau famously ate there together) and my personal favourite Vin Papillon, all on the same street. McKiernan is a little farther but very good as well.
Wow! Thank you for the Input. I did know Liverpool House under the same ownership but not Vin Papillon! I’ll have to check them out as well. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for the video. I’m 59 and I’ve lived in Montreal my entire life but my wife and I travel extensively through the U.S. and Europe, 5-6 times a year. The unfortunate truth is that Montreal has very poor variety and is very over rated as a food city. Chicago, New York, Washington and virtually the entirety of California make it look silly as does almost every major European city. Very hard to find quality outside of French bistros, which all have virtually the same menu. Even the top restaurant rarely offer an elegant experience. Most restaurants are a shadow of what they once were and new restaurants are about a 1 in 10 chance of even being reasonable. We marvel at the food in virtually every destination we travel to. Those who tout Montreal’s food scene would be best to travel a bit more and see what it’s like elsewhere. So although the video was interesting, the truth is a bit different. PS: I’ve avoided mentioning specific restaurants, but we’ve dined at virtually all of the top rated restaurants on every list, including the top one on this list…… nameless, as a Montrealer, you’ll know which one….no ambiance, no space, no elegance, ordinary service and over rated food except for one famous dish. Positively bad desert. Hideously over priced and would be out of business in Chicago.
Thanks for watching ! While I respect your opinion, I would respectfully have to disagree. There is such a wide variety of restaurants in the city as it has become so multi-cultural… people from across the world have brought THEIR culture TO the city… so to say that there is nothing good outside of french bistros is somewhat belittling of the many other great food genres available in the city and also somewhat contradicts your sweeping statement of food automatically being better elsewhere? I personally know restaurant owners that put passion into every plate they prepare so to make sweeping assumptions about all restaurants in the city is unfair. I have travelled in Spain, Italy and certain parts of the United States and you can find both good and bad food / service everywhere. Again, While I respect your opinion, there are thousands who visit the city on a regular basis and share much different viewpoints.
You are correct on food being opinion… or rather taste. I won’t argue that. Nor will I contradict the good and bad everywhere. But Montreal has so much bad to just ordinary and what we rave about as being great is often very pedestrian. But the quality of food and, very notably, the quality and effort placed in ambiance is really not good in my opinion. 5* Italian, quality Thai, Mexican, gastronomic menu experiences, true white tablecloth elegant dining are all almost absent. The list is much longer, that’s just off the top. As to what is brought to the city from other countries, not fine dining, maybe ultra casual eateries. Just look at this list…. How much high end fine dining is in it?
I can definitely side with the limitations on the selection of fine dining locations in the city…The few that I have gone to have impressed me,personally. However, Sometimes, the best food ,from a taste perspective, come from little holes in the wall 😅 Thanks again for sharing your viewpoint. I appreciate the discussion 👍🏾
Well, it’s not French cuisine but it’s 100% French cuisine inspired: “quenelles classiques en boudin blanc; ris de veau en piperade; magret de canard aux prunes; galette de porc, pommes au Calvados; blanquette de veau aux cèpes, etc.”. So it’s not at all like saying American is British.
i live in Montréal and you have opened my eyes and appetite to trying some of these places i was unaware of 👍🏻
It’s always nice discovering new places to eat in the city. I myself knew little of these places until they were recommended to me. These places were were quite good…thanks for watching 👍🏾
have you done similar foodie videos for Vancouver ?
i will be visiting there in October
@jacqueslussier4311 no… havent done one for Vancouver but its on the list. Hope you have a good time in B.C.
thank you bro ! MTL truly needed this type of content. keep em comin'

It’s a great spot !

Awesome! I hope you enjoy ✌🏾
I arrive in Montreal on July 4th. Can't wait to try so many places!!!
Oh wow nice ! Out of curiosity, What’s on your must visit list ?
@travels_wright Mount Royal, MTL 🥯 Bagels, riding the REM, Atwater Market and walking the Lachine Canal, Marche Ghanacan and other ethnic markets, Zetti's Creamery, Little Italy (Jean Talon market), and the Caribbean Curry House!! I should be in one of your vids!!

Caribbean curry house is a classic!!!
You will love the food, the staff & owner are super friendly as well!!!
Thank you! Montrealer here & now have a list of bucket list restaurants 😉!!!

It certainly is 👍🏾
Actually a good video. thanks

Dang - I need to visit Montréal!
Not sure where you are situated, but you can still make the trip for this year! Always fun things to do in the city 👍🏾

French fries and the steak comes with potatoes?
Sorry, Which restaurant were you referring to?

You know the food is good when you have had a line up 24 hours a day for 50 year's.
Joe Beef is crazy expensive
It’s definitely on the pricier side of restaurants on this list but definitely worth trying at least once. 👍🏾
Joe Beef is not French cuisine, it's Québécois cuisine. This is like saying American food is British 😂
Haha you’re right. I should have been more specific. Thanks for pointing that out .
Well, it’s not French cuisine but it’s 100% French cuisine inspired: “quenelles classiques en boudin blanc; ris de veau en piperade; magret de canard aux prunes; galette de porc, pommes au Calvados; blanquette de veau aux cèpes, etc.”. So it’s not at all like saying American is British.
An odd choice of restaurants, borderline idiotic, and subjective. Wtd dude?
😅😅😅 thanks for watching. You’re right, it’s absolutely subjective. Try them out, you may actually like them.
A lot of crepes and pastries! This is not montrèal. Check the tour guides ..more useful, less bias in their objectivity .
😂 thanks for watching
Shill video.
Thanks bro 🙏🏾
