      New York is the London of the new world, and Montreal is the Paris. I like to go back and forth between the two as I am a dual citizen of the US and Canada.

    Hi Tim, I lived in Montreal for 24 years before moving to Toronto. At the 20 minute mark you said you were exploring St: Andrew’s Island and you were showing the picture of the US pavilion ( biosphere) form Expo 1967. If you were there, it’s actually St. Helené’s Island and La Ronde near it.

    I am originally from New York City, but love Montreal more. What a fantastic city, and much cleaner than New York. I love the beautiful and delicious restaurants and museums. I love Old Montreal. I was last there in October, I can't wait to go back.

    Great video Tim! Those smoked meat sandwiches at Schwartz's make my mouth water. Love the poutine at La Banquise but can never seem to quite finish it either. Across the street is another great place for poutine, Ma Poule Mouillee. The food is fabulous in Montreal and even though we were there 6 months, we still didn't get to try everything on our list haha.

      Thanks Tom and Mike! Could definitely used your guide for sure and would have loved to visit Bonaparte. There were so many places to eat that it was quite difficult to decide; but the nice thing is that no matter what is chosen, the meals are always good. We only had about 2 days in Montreal but certainly enjoyed it. Hope you all are keeping well! All the best !

      Hi Calvin, hope you have a blast in Montreal! I actually thought that Schwartz's maybe a bit of a touristy thing, but it was certainly worth it. Many people also suggested smoked meat Pete's also. If you get a chance, make sure you make a trip to Quebec city. We took the train out there during this trip and it was unforgettable.

    Awesome that you went to Montreal. The food looks amazing, as does the scenery. I've never been to Montreal. My dad's parents & 3 of his older siblings came through Montreal, to get to Alberta, when they came from Eastern Europe, in the early 1900s. My late, maternal grandfather used to live and work in Montreal, after he was working in Chicago, after he came from Poland, in the early 1900s, before he went to Alberta. My roots go through there. I have to go there one day. Cheers, Tim! ✌️🇨🇦

    • @TimLeeLetsGo
      @TimLeeLetsGo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Dwayne, I do hope you get a chance to visit one day. It is a very unique beautiful city and I actually got a chance to visit Quebec City also. (If you do decide to go, be sure not to miss Quebec City). It was such a unique experience and absolutely felt like one was in the heart of Europe (or at least what I imagine what it would be). Thank you again and all the best!

    Awesome video Tim ! It's been 14 years since my last visit and I sure miss Montreal. That chocolate croissant 😍 the way you pronounce croissant got me curious..do you speak French Tim ? You should definitely check out Saint Joseph's Oratory on your next visit. I still don't know how you're able to eat that buffet after your sandwich from Schwartzs and still managed to grab a 2 pounds poutine 😳

    • @TimLeeLetsGo
      @TimLeeLetsGo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks David! Saint Joseph's Oratory was on the list but we were only there for about two days so couldn't really catch everything we wanted. It was a fantastic trip though 🙂. Language wise, we had to learn both French and English in school here in Canada; however, neither language I can speak well 🤦

    I loved Montreal when I visited over 10 years ago. I won the weekend hotel stay at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth at an art auction and it was on a club floor. The club floor meant I had breakfast and evening hor d’oeuvres free which meant I only needed to buy lunch. I was on my own so I had a smoked meat sandwich everyday and the hor d’oeuvres were so plentiful I was too full to have a dinner. I spent all my money on art. Such fun! I tried the casino thing but couldn’t take the smoking. Lol. Glad you had a friend, it makes a difference.❤️

    Milsa is ok but not fantastic. La Banquise is nearly unbeatable (see later). Same for Schwartz. On your next trip, you have try Blackstrap BBQ who serve award winning Southern Smokehouse grub that'll blow you away. They also have have a Burnt ends poutine, which is poutine with burnt ends and the gravy is made from the smoker's drip pan... It is INSANE. Then a bit off the island is Smoke Meat Pete. Smoked meat like Schwartz but it's kicked up a notch. Then there's Dinette Triple Crown where they serve Kentucky grub, made by a chef from Kentucky. Best fried chicken ever. Best hush puppies ever, best pigtails... Oh and freshly squeezed lemonade per order.

    Schwartz's bring back memories for me, especially before the Dion family bought it. Some say the meat quality is not the same as it used to be. There are many other great food places. I used to go to Cosmo's All Day Breakfast. Cosmo died but his son carries on the tradition. The best item was the mish mash, with 12 eggs, peppers, onions, bacon and toast. I knew a McGill student who would order that each Saturday morning, and then have a cheeseburger chaser. The cheeseburger was good because it had meat going outside the bun. He would also have an order of fries, onion rings, two Cokes and a milkshake.

    watching an older one again what a nice food tour of the city you may have found out that Brazilllian "pico de gallo" is "Brazilian Vinaigrette" looks similar slight flavor changes and ingredients the liquid in PIco is probably going to be lime juice in the Brazilian Vinaigrette it's vinegar and a neutral oil of one type or another also parsley in the Brazilian Vinaigrette cilantro in the Pico and possibly jalapeno...oh man that's a lot of poutine to end the day

    Mustard at 19:23. I thought I had seen everything at Schwartz's. Then one day I saw a guy request a bowl of mustard. He proceeded to dunk his entire sandwich in the bowl of mustard.

    For your next trip to Montréal may I suggest Chef Paul Toussaint's Restaurant Kamúy-- a Caribbean restaurant in Les Quartiers Spectacles/Downtown (rue Jeanne-Mance.)He was previously the chef at Agrikol, the Haitian restaurant owned by Win Butler and Régine Chassagne of Arcade Fire that was a casualty of the pandemic.

    Schwartz's at 15:51. When the writer Mordecai Richler's kids were younger, he would bribe them to go fetch him smoked meat sandwiches from Schwartz's. He would call the order ahead and off the kid would go with the cash in a cab. The kid would pay for the order and bring back the same order each time. Mordecai would eat two Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches, medium fat and an order of kosher dill pickles. The lucky kid who volunteered to picked up the goods got themselves the third smoked meat sandwich, medium fat of course.

    A good little tip for anyone coming to Montreal. To avoid the long line at Schwartz's go across the street and a block or two away to Le Main. They have the same food, it's just as good and there's plenty of seating. Also, Wilensky's sandwich is a perfect lunch spot and Fairmount bagels are sacred.
