As a Québecois, I can confidently say Montréal is dogshit and not at all representative of what the rest of the province is like. If you like partying and pretending you're some kind of hot shit it's great but most Québecois don't enjoy Montréal at all, it's more for tourists.
He understood and learned about every corner of the world he visited before he ever stepped foot in a place. He became wiser through experiences shared with the people and became enriched through food and humanity. What a lovely man. He is missed. Nothing about him was contrived.
@@BrandonPoirierBlair As a new yorker living in Montreal, it is an amazing city and one of the best cultural hubs in NA with great european influence. so many creatives and unique people here and most def one of the best cities in the world. As someone whos lived all around the world, Montreal is a top city with top people. Nowhere is quite like here. Not everyones a city person ig but i think its quite ironic to call ppl "pretend hot shits" and then generalize an entire cities population lol...
@@BrandonPoirierBlair A city is the culmination of it's nation's culture, Montréal has long been recognized as one of the great food city of the world. It is both thanks to Québec's culture and also Montréal's own specialties. Instead of hating, be the change that you want to see.
That is the most relaxed and entertained I've ever seen him in any of his shows. I think he just appreciated that he drank great wine out of a red solo cup, had unusual food he didn't get anywhere else, but was cooked classically French, and he got to talk shop about food- the chefs weren't into promoting their enterprises, they just loved talking to another accomplished chef! BTW- the SIZE of that piece of fois gras! I would have died from the richness of that dish! Died happy, but seriously, died. :)
It's nice to read things like that, Anthony Bourdain's influence will continue spreading for decades because of all the shows he made and people continue watching.
So nice these Quebecers has the opportunity to show Anthony such a fine time. They must be devastated. It’s one thing to feel you know Bourdain through his fantastic culinary blogs, it’s another to entertain such an icon.
As a Montrealer, this episode warms my heart. Anthony Bourdain did 3 different episodes based in Montreal: Parts Unknown, No Reservations, and my favourite, The Layover where he rides around at night in the back of a pick-up truck, slugging from a bottle in a paper bag with Martin Picard and Norman Laprise.
I remember watching this And doing the 6hr drive to Montreal for a summer weekend Loved Montreal The food the vibe of downtown....Toronto was built on shale (Grey mud) You smell it going on the subway That smell never leaves you The whole feel of Toronto is grey And unpersonable
It warms my Québecois's heart that he had so much fun in Quebec. Kudos to the amazing chefs who showed him around. And Martin Picard's cabane à sucre is on my bucket list! And if you go to his restaurant Pied de Cochon, please have the cromesquis (deep fried foie gras...)
I love Montreal. I only spent a weekend there but it is such a beautiful city. Schwartz deli is to die for! Tony was definitely in his element. Rest in peace
Shwartz is gone… and so is beauty since we have a leftist mayor who allows the city to turn into a living hell. The Montreal of your memory is NOT the Montreal of today.
I’ve watched this many times, I miss Anthony. I hope Canada never loses Quebec, I am Canadian and proud of the province of Quebec. What’s not too love.
Just when I think I'm not hungry or thirsty I watch an episode of something with the legendary Bourdain, next thing I know I have pasta boiling, I'm making a sauce and I'm sipping a heady red.
Dave McMillan and Fred Morin are every person's dream to be lucky enough to spend a few days with the way Tony did. I'm so grateful for everything Anthony Bourdain did to show us how great life can be. Of all the people I never met he is the person I will miss the most for the rest of my life.
If you haven’t been to this area you MUST !!! I’m from Toronto but my sister had a stunning condo brick walls 14 foot ceilings wood steal in the art gallery area right by the st Lawrence river science centre wonderful restaurants of old town Montreal with a mountain in the middle of the city Stunning. !!!
Oh God, Via Rail!!!! I grew up in Southern Ontario and Via Rail was the way to travel! It was cheap too. I've gone from Edmonton to Toronto a few times - longest trip was 67 hours because of a derailment lololol I love that train - rocked me to sleep and you get to see more of the off-road places and scenery, especially from the Lounge/Skyline car ❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇦
I’m so disappointed in myself that I haven’t spent any time in Montreal yet. Born and raised in B.C. and my French is almost non-existent but I love the way the culture is there and the celebration of that culture. Canada would not be Canada without the French culture and Quebec.
One of my favorite people. I will follow in your footsteps. Funny how you always said that cream cheese on sushi is a taboo, then you eat it on bagels with caviar in Quebec. The Canadians rubbed off on you, love that your mind will always be open.
My paternal grandfather was a beaver trapper through the 1960's and 1970's. But we never ate beaver. He let anyone in town who wanted the carcasses for their dogs to just take them. He was also a hunter so we often had moose and partridge. Once, I remember having muskrat legs. The dishes you showed here are things I mostly haven't heard of. I've had filet mignon (at The Keg, I know, probably not authentic, but still good!). You were making my mouth water the whole time. And not just the food, but the whole dining experience!
This is why I loved this show. While anybody can see a dish they never tried before and think it is gross looking and never consider trying it, Anthony would be first in line to give it a taste and more often than not it would be the best thing he has eaten. I do miss him and this show. Wish there was more new episodes to watch with him.
This guy was such a stud. He was so beautiful. I miss him so much. I don't know him but I miss his shows. I miss hearing his boys. I'm missing his beautiful face
@@cabaneencac5168 On peut dire que Joe Beef est un bon exemple du vivre-ensemble…! Mais pour ça David McMillan a quand même appris le français sans pleurnicher aux droits de la personne et il apprécie de toute évidence la culture française et québécoise, contrairement à la majorité des anglophones…
The easiest way to get thru Kaybec, is tell them ur from Saskatoon, then they will speak english to you. The next thing is, you must sing even if you cant sing, you must sing, as the whole restaurant breaks out in song. I am happy to hear that they are Quebecois and Canadians. Canada is not Canada without PQ. We are in this together. Keep your sticks on the ice.
I must have watched this episode 50 times (being a Quebec transplant and a foodie) and I just noticed that Fred got hammered and bought a bunch of Habs merch in the middle of the second period haha
I’m sure Anthony Bourdain felt at home in Quebec. Bourdain was born of French descent (on his Dad’s side) spoke the language growing up, spent multiple summers in France, and eventually became the executive chef of NYC's Brasserie Les Halles, an esteemed French fine dining bistro. Old Montreal and parts of Quebec City are like a little bit of France in Canada. Such a shame that he had such struggles with mental health, like so many other Artists before him.
Spring and fall can be beautiful and summer can be crazy hot and humid...but you can always be sure anytime a U.S. production comes to do a show in Montreal it will be in the heart of winter. No wonder Americans think we all live in igloos.
Quebec should be proud to be part of Canada and Canada should be proud to include Quebec. Times have changed and it's time for both sides to recognize this. The only thing that separates us is language. The vast majority of Anglo's don't hate Franco's and vise versa, it's time to move forward and embrace both cultures into what was always supposed to be what is Canada...
I saw him and had a photo taken with him when he was in Toronto. I was devastated when I heard of his death. May he rest in peace. He was a troubled soul. 🙏🌹
Canadian meal: fried Bologna on white bread with, east coast, ketchup or, west coast, mustard. Quebec, being of french culture, would toast the bread, add cheese curds and gravy. This is tradition.
I'm a Scotian, I love everything about this video! Anthony you sir are a true legend ,Thank you from the bottom , up. Only thing that's untrue about this video 4:46 ,Quebec is a beautiful but not even close to the rest of Canada.
Can't believe it's been 6 years, miss this guy 🫡

What a beautiful nod to Quebec and its history...Anthony Bourdain is brilliant...miss him
So it's brilliant to kill yourself? Nah
I'm from Québec City and that episode, when it aired, several years ago, made me discover Le Continental, which became my favorite restaurant.
Le continental is the best , its really something.
It's nice to read things like that, Anthony Bourdain's influence will continue spreading for decades because of all the shows he made and people continue watching.

My favourite episode. As an Aussie I wanna go there, eat the food, play hockey and go ice fishing. Sensational!!!
Greetings from Canada! We love our Aussie friends! Please do come visit. You won't regret it.
Austrian here (we sell T-shirts with NO Kangaroos ) ;-) YES my favourite episode too.

Truly a white trash identity
I used to get a kick out of Martin Picard’s old show ‘the Wild Chef’
Is there any way we can watch those other episodes here on TH-cam? I searched them, but couldn't find them.
@@cassiopee26 i think the layover is on Amazon

Love this episode! The passion Quebeckers have jumps out from the screen! Quebec is truly a very special place.
Quebec truly is a special place
I’m half Quebecois and I agree❤
I think this is the best episode. So comforting and unique.
Living in Montreal off and on for over 13yrs and I’ll tell you one thing… the food here is amazing!!! Best in all of Canada.
My favorite all time Anthony Bourdain scene is in the ice fishing shack.
One of my favourite episodes...
Also, one of my favourite lines: "Food is just feces in waiting"
It warms my Québecois's heart that he had so much fun in Quebec. Kudos to the amazing chefs who showed him around. And Martin Picard's cabane à sucre is on my bucket list! And if you go to his restaurant Pied de Cochon, please have the cromesquis (deep fried foie gras...)

I don't think I've ever seen him happier God love him
One of the best chapters after Vietnam episodes . Love it when he finds the humanity in the fine details, Oohhhh sausages!

Tu nous manques Tony, et nous manqueras toujours. Merci de tes visites au Québec. Un mec génial! ⚜️🇨🇦
He is loved and dearly missed. Un bon vivant. Rest in peace.
As a proud Canadian, this is my favourite episode ever!
Quebec isn't really Canada, though. Or at least, that's what they would say.

@@declanstewart5690 I fear indépendance is back my friend.
@@declanstewart5690 no the fuck it's not LOL.
@@hem9483 it is in any meaningful way. There is an insanely low chance Quebec will ever separate from Canada.

This food is making my mouth water, get a train ticket and go to Montreal for a 3 hour meal. Got to go.
Montréal je t'aime❤❤ Thanks for posting this episode. It made feel extremely nostalgic about my home town and makes me miss Chef Bourdain.
Just when I think I'm not hungry or thirsty I watch an episode of something with the legendary Bourdain, next thing I know I have pasta boiling, I'm making a sauce and I'm sipping a heady red.
My all time favourite Anthony Bourdain episode.
As a proud Canadian immigrant from Ireland, this makes me so happy.
With a national anthem beginning with “O’” I’m sure this country opened its pretty little legs for you.
Dave McMillan and Fred Morin are every person's dream to be lucky enough to spend a few days with the way Tony did.
I'm so grateful for everything Anthony Bourdain did to show us how great life can be.
Of all the people I never met he is the person I will miss the most for the rest of my life.
1:35 I'm that special breed and was born here (Montreal), and I miss you so much I cry every time I see one of your videos.
What a great show done in my home province. So many of his shows influenced what I eat and cook.
Posted many times , one of the best eposode (for me and of course).
You know, when you eat beaver, you know it’s beaver. Best line ever.
you have to try beaver. once you do, you will understand that saying completely. nothing else tastes like it.
dont forget to use the fingers
It was so great to see a mainstream american personnality know so much about Quebec culture.
Most Americans have more respect for Quebec culture than most Canadians.
12:33 "When you eat beaver you understand it's beaver."
The most absolutely magnificently true statement ever uttered.
is there any other meat that you can compare it to?
I miss that man so much. A true human being, passionate and kind.
Food brings us together and Anthony taught us that!
If you haven’t been to this area you MUST !!! I’m from Toronto but my sister had a stunning condo brick walls 14 foot ceilings wood steal in the art gallery area right by the st Lawrence river science centre wonderful restaurants of old town Montreal with a mountain in the middle of the city Stunning. !!!
I so miss him ! I love Montreal so very much !
Don't kill yourself
The "ice house" meal is probably on my bucket list. The hare buried under seared foie gras without question
Born and raised in Québec City. My favorite Bourdain episode of course !!
Oh God, Via Rail!!!! I grew up in Southern Ontario and Via Rail was the way to travel! It was cheap too. I've gone from Edmonton to Toronto a few times - longest trip was 67 hours because of a derailment lololol
I love that train - rocked me to sleep and you get to see more of the off-road places and scenery, especially from the Lounge/Skyline car ❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇦
The food in this episode...!!!!!
My favorite episode, jeez I miss this guy who I've never met.
Wish he could see how many people he influenced
Quebec is essentially North Americas Europe.
Except that France is not nearly French enough for most Quebec Francophones
Canada in general is more like the UK, Europe.
@@jayk5549 omg never lol nothing in common at all
Thanks to Quebec and Toronto,we have the world’s worst leadership.
@@jayk5549 Québecois's aren't French. Stay in Canada
Still find it very difficult to believe he has been gone so long. Always watched him. ❤
The Cuban cigar at the end just got me,magic.
A Canadian thing to do is drink a Molson Export, whilst smoking an Export ‘A’ . Bourdain is a treasure, miss this guy.
Definitely a French Canadian Tabarnak.
Mon PaPere’ smoked Sweet Caporal’s and drank Ex 😝
Moosehead and Belmonts bud
brador and lauriers eh
Ahhh yes, Export A! My preferred brand back when I was still young and foolish. I drank Kootenay Ale or Kokanee though.
Bravo !
Watching "Le Tricolore"
Having good wine, great food with friends is heaven on hearth. 🍷💯🇨🇦
Who doesn't love Montreal, and Anthony too. Miss that guy!
