It's so strange seeing my city in a TH-cam video! Especially the metro stations that I visit daily. I'm so glad you had a good time here, and I hope you can come back again soon! Montreal is really beautiful in the Fall, the views from Mont-Royal are breathtaking. :)
As a mom, I just love that you have your mom with you. Seeing the two of you together, warms my heart as it brings nice memories of my daughter and I and the way we were. ♥️♥️
Hello from Texas just want to thank you for taking us along to Canada. And showing us so many great places to eat to see. And please say hello to your mother from me much love continue to stay safe and well. ❤️🙏
1:52 so you translated it as a "lunch danish" but it would actually be a breakfast danish. The reason is that in quebec we say "déjeuner, diner, souper" for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But in france, they say "petit-déjeuner, déjeuner, diner".
Thank you, Mina and Mommy Oh for sharing your fun trip with us! it was a much-needed break during this quarantine! looking forward to many more videos! Stay healthy and safe!
Love your vlogs so much, I'm trapped in bed, battling bone cancer, in strict isolation. Your vlogs give me the happy escape I need to help me pass my days. I don't get to see my Mom much, so I definitely enjoy watching your adventures with your Mommy Oh.
With your background in graphic arts & architecture, Montreal ~ Montréal must have been like going to Disney World in France! ♥ ... From the food, as well, this 24-hours was a feast for your eyes, intellect & stomach! Talk about a Bon Voyage & Bon Appetite! ♥
I think it’s really fun to think Mina is the reason I want to eat healthier. As well I want to eat more Asian food they look much more delicious and nutritious. So just thank you Mina you are really helping my weight loss journey as well as bring the joy of watching your videos. I can’t wait till I am older and get to travel the way you do I want to try all the foods you get as well as see the places you do.
What a nice video for Mother's day weekend. Hello Mommy Oh...enjoy your day, because Mina picked the sweetest video to show how much she loves your company.
Montreal poutine is so diverse which is why it's so unique! There's a poutine for every one, you just need to find the right place. Some like it thick and savory, or crunchy, stretchy.. the list goes on!
Really great video representing Montreal! Our winters can be quite harsh as you saw but we grow use to it. Mid-End summer and beginning of fall are the best times to come, especially for the farmers market at Jean-Talon and Atwater. Looking forward to your next video!
I just stumbled across your channel and I'm obsessed! I was actually in Montreal the exact same time you were and I have never ever felt so cold before! I didn't get to go to as many cool places as you showed so I'll def have to return to see and eat more! :)
Hi Mina ! I loved your video ! I’m Drummondville, the birthplace of poutine, and yes, the cheese should definitely be squeaky but how the gravy tastes is just as important.
I live in Canada and have only passed thru Montreal. You got the good stuff the poutine and smoked meat. There is so many versions of poutine now it is hard to keep up with them. Glad you enjoyed and can tell Mommy Oh enjoyed herself too. Stay safe
Pro tip: Joe Beef requires getting a reservation well ahead of time. If you can't get one, you can try Livepool House next door by the same chefs. If again you can't, there's Vin Papillon next next door and that one is walk-in only, so you always have a chance to get a table.
I can't get over the fact that you went Chez Claudette! That is next level 'live like a local' stuff. Also Fondation Phi is one of my favourite art spots in the city. I hope you get to come back again soon with your mom. She seems so nice!
I’m so glad you came to my city and liked your time here! Be sure to come back when it is safe and especially, during summer! We have so many festivals and activities around june and july
Miss Mina, I am late to this video but I have to thank you so much! I live in Toronto and I have been to Montreal many times but seeing my favourite city through your lens and just before the pandemic gave me a great smile!
Thanks for reminding me of all the good places we've got ! Can't wait to go back out once we are out of confinement! Next time, you should try St-Viateur bagles! And I had no idea peanut butter dumplings started here!! Also, a little clarification for the danish. In France, "déjeuner" means 'lunch' (and 'petit déjeuner' is breakfast) but here in Québec, we mostly refer to breakfast as 'déjeuner', lunch as 'dîner' and dinner as 'souper', which makes a little more sense with the egg in that danish! :)
The cathedral in the beginning was jaw-dropping beautiful! Mina I also like the wonder and amazement you have when you encounter snow and cold. I've had cold, snowy winters all my life so it's fun to see how a non-snow native reacts to snow. :D Also I just bought a new winter coat this winter and it reminds me a bit of yours!
For all the tourists in Mtl: There is a 10$ metro pass for tourists (or locals) that allows you to travel all you want for a day ! Unlimited ! I would suggest it if you have more than 2 stops in Montréal that are far apart.
To add to that, a weekly pass is unlimited and costs $30. We got ours right at the airport and more than got our money's worth. Kids ride for free and the transit system (subways and buses) is simple to navigate even if you don't speak a lick of french. It's clean, safe and on time. Skip the uber. Use the public transit system whenever possible that's how we found some great random spots.
Oh my god ! You were so close where i live. Chez Clodette is just one street down from my place. I'm french and i live in Montreal for 11 years now. I really love your videos, your personality and your mom ^^
Thank you for pronouncing poutine correctly! When cheese curds are squeaky, they're fresh! But personally, I don't like when they squeak haha! It's so nice to see you explore my city :)
Thank you for the jacket review because as you said, it's important to know of products that work when you travel to areas with different weather. Stay safe!
it is very important to have squeeky cheese. It makes the poutine taste better. I’m so glad you came to montreal!! I hope you had a beautiful journey in montreal 🥰
I live about 2-3 hours away from Montreal but I do have to go there frequently for medical stuff. I even have family that lives there, and your videos make us discover new places we never thought we would think about going in! Amazing work! Hope you are doing good at your house in this pandemic 💜
My favorite memory of Montreal was seeing a group of little girls in yellow jumpers and Madeline hats. It was in the old town and it was a perfect afternoon.
Wow, this is the best travel video of Montreal I've seen so far, and weirdly I've seen a lot even though I live here lol... It really seems like you are made for this city, and your choice of places to visit was excellent. Hope you will come back!
Schwartz deli and Montreal bagels; best in the world. Oh and BTW, I consider Montreal the coolest city in North America if not the world! Thanks for the beautiful memories of a most favored city.
Your voice is so relaxing whenever I feel stressed and boring I watch your videos and will get relaxed immediately and your nails I love them 😍 you are giving travel 🧳 inspiration I’ll keep watching your videos for ever and ever . Never stop keep going and most importantly keep posting videos. Loads of love from india 🇮🇳
Watching this makes me miss Montreal, moved away last year 😢 I’m surprised you didn’t try St. Viateur bagels, they’re some of the best in the city. Whenever we’re all able to be out again and you can make another visit, I highly recommend getting breakfast there!
Montréal looks so different during the wintertime. I went there during the summer, and I couldn’t recognize it at first in the video. Love your vids Mina💜💜
Thank you so much for posting this your adventures give me life I hope you and mumma are taking care during this. That butter croissant tho had my mouth watering 🥐
Such a lovely 24 hours in Montreal Canada the croissant 🥐 looks so magical the croissant 🥐 with almonds ( need an almond moji :) sparkled 🤩 love watching your vlogs there’s endless knowledge with bits of history an a dash of laughter an love ❤️
I have only had poutine once, and I loved it! The place I went to is here in Washington. They used cheddar curds, and before they added the gravy, they put the fries and cheese under a broiler, so the cheese was ooey-gooey and delicious! I want to eat it every day!
Good ear on the Québécois pronunciation. When there is a t or d before i and u, the letter d converts to a dz sound and t converts to a ts sound in québécois. And the long "i" sometimes gets shortened. So poutine sounds like "poutsin" and mardi sounds like "mardzi." I love Montreal! Even in winter... : )
Great video! I hope you and Mommy Oh had a great trip in Montreal and enjoyed Quebec's hospitality. By the way, I love the dumpling place you went. Hi from Gatineau, Quebec, while stuck in quarantine!

@@mohammadibrahimi3316 really
@@cleraminivlogs8672 yeah i mean i live in Montreal (west Island) & rarely visit downtown montreal. Because of all the constructions & traffic
Tipsy Mina is even funnier than the normal hilarious Miss Mina 😂😂😂❤️
As a mom, I just love that you have your mom with you. Seeing the two of you together, warms my heart as it brings nice memories of my daughter and I and the way we were. ♥️♥️
Your mom is adorable and reminds me of my mom. I'm so glad you're traveling with her. enjoy her!

i ok
oo
Thank you, Mina and Mommy Oh for sharing your fun trip with us! it was a much-needed break during this quarantine! looking forward to many more videos! Stay healthy and safe!
I'm French but live in Toronto at the moment. I went to Montréal 3 weeks ago and also fell in love with the city. I can't wait to go back.
Lived 27 years in Montreal..and moved away in 2018. You did a great job at covering the essentials, despite the cold ! Bien fait !
I love how she feeds her mother so heartwarming 🥰
This girl can make any city look like a fairy tale. Love the energy ! Keep it up !
Love your vlogs so much, I'm trapped in bed, battling bone cancer, in strict isolation. Your vlogs give me the happy escape I need to help me pass my days. I don't get to see my Mom much, so I definitely enjoy watching your adventures with your Mommy Oh.
❤️
Same here. I am bed bound and these videos give me a little escape. My Mom has unfortunately already passed away. Wish you all the best.
I totally adore your mom! I’m from Montreal and I love all the stops you made but your mom in that bookstore... 🥰🥰
Don't you just love hearing Mina pronounce those French words? Sounds like a pro to me.
@SMG Eh no... She is really close, way closer that a lot of Anglophone I heard... coming from a French Montrealais
@SMG Bro my native language is French and her pronounciation is actually way better than most second-language French speakers, almost perfect.
oui 😏
Miss Mina is so funny and when she posts I’m like “YASS”
With your background in graphic arts & architecture, Montreal ~

Wow, didn’t know how cool Montreal is. That church looks epic, the food oh my
I love how you balance what you eat. And I also love how you go to exhibits and art galleries. I hope I can go there someday
What a nice video for Mother's day weekend. Hello Mommy Oh...enjoy your day, because Mina picked the sweetest video to show how much she loves your company.

That beef looks INCREDIBLE!! Or should I say INCROYABLE!!
Welcome to our beautiful city Montréal Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 bon appétit, I see that 5his team of mother and daughter enjoy eating

I am a montrealer, glad you came to visit the silent vibrant city. The city has mix of old and new architecture, plenty of foods...
What fun! I love Montreal, but haven’t been there in decades. I must go back! Your mom is the bomb.
I love watching your videos,they’re always super relaxing, but fun at the same time 😊
It's really nice to see my city through some one else's eyes! I'm happy you enjoyed your time here it's a nice place
Never clicked so fast just to have the pleasure of knowing I'm early..And even so, I was late..
Hi Mina ! I loved your video ! I’m Drummondville, the birthplace of poutine, and yes, the cheese should definitely be squeaky but how the gravy tastes is just as important.
Wow finally a new video. Thanks u so much. M.
I love how she is not religious . Way to go out and express yourself 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

I’m a born and raised Canadian that used to be a tour guide in Montreal and let me tell you: squeaky cheese curds are a MUST!!!
Lot's of love from Montreal :))))
Finally, you visited Canada! I love how you say «croissant and poutine» xDD

Everyone, let's bring Mina to 1million. She deserves it so much!
Early notification! Thank you for uploading another wonderful video 💖
Something about Montreal that makes a snowy feel cozy. It's also the best place to visit in the fall season!
Miss Mina, I am late to this video but I have to thank you so much! I live in Toronto and I have been to Montreal many times but seeing my favourite city through your lens and just before the pandemic gave me a great smile!

Thank you for making everything about my city (Montreal) and the metro (subway) look aesthetically pleasing haha
My favorite memory of Montreal was seeing a group of little girls in yellow jumpers and Madeline hats. It was in the old town and it was a perfect afternoon.
Wonderful personality and so articulate.
My city 😊 I love it so much.
Glad you liked
You visited the best croissant place in town. The wax paper bag is see through after a day from all the butter. It reheats well a week later.
Wow, this is the best travel video of Montreal I've seen so far, and weirdly I've seen a lot even though I live here lol... It really seems like you are made for this city, and your choice of places to visit was excellent. Hope you will come back!
I am só going to visit the Notre Dame Cathedral of Montreal. Think I shall spend at least half a day there. Thank you for sharing.
Yay you went to so many of my favorite places !!!! I'm so glad you liked your stay 🥰

Man New Yorkers love Montreal so much! lol! Glad you had fun in my hometown! :)
Good ear on the Québécois pronunciation. When there is a t or d before i and u, the letter d converts to a dz sound and t converts to a ts sound in québécois. And the long "i" sometimes gets shortened. So poutine sounds like "poutsin" and mardi sounds like "mardzi." I love Montreal! Even in winter... : )
Omg never been this early love your videos xx ♥️♥️
YESSSSS UVE BEEN TO CHEZ CLAUDETTE!!! I've always recommand that place to tourists 🙌
Great video Miss Mina. Love to you and Mommy. Stay safe. ❤️❤️✌️
very happy to see my city, very instructive video 😸
Yay new video! 😍😍😍
1:02 Seriously thought you said ‘Jar Jar Binks ‘ took me a moment to realise you said ‘Jaw Dropping ‘ 🤣
If I didn’t read this comment, I would still believe my ears and I heard jar jar binks too 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! I hope you and Mommy Oh had a great trip in Montreal and enjoyed Quebec's hospitality. By the way, I love the dumpling place you went. Hi from Gatineau, Quebec, while stuck in quarantine!
Love you and your videos🧡
