Montreal is one of the greatest cities in world , and best restaurants
I Hear The Food in Montreal Quebec is Fantastic!
Anthony Bourdain LOVED Montréal.
Just sayin'.
My nephew and I are coming to Montreal in August....we are so excited !!!!!
Montreal is one area I would like to explore. Canada is a great place to visit! Thank you for the tips! Happy New Year!
Add LaBelle province to your list of restaurants for great breakfast and smoke meat sandwiches and fantastic poutine.
yes so good and reasonable price, and Mikes for a Lucy luc
Hamburgers and fries were my favorite.
Smoked meat sandwich were awesome.
Simple meal, great dinning.
There's so much more to Montreal food than poutine, bagels and smoked meat! Go to L'Express or Lémeac for french food, Les Enfants Terribles at Place Ville Marie for amazing city views, Chinatown for authentic chinese food and vietnamese soup, Vin mon Lapin, Joe Beef and Montreal Plaza for fancy eats, Majestique for oysters and funky decor, and so so so much more!

Thank you for this great video about my hometown. You nailed it!
Thanks Jessie!
Speaking as a Montrealer, thank you for a fun and fair video. Good of you to mention that Federal and Quebec taxes total 15%of what you eat. Do NOT get suckered into tipping on the amount AFTER taxes. If you tip 15%, then your tip should equal the total taxes.
Too bad a lot of waiters / waitresses suddenly expect 18 - 20% tip these days
The tip is the same as the tax. Easy.
Great vid! Love the scenery
As a Montrealer born and bred, the top craft beers to try are Unibroue, Dieu du Ciel, Messorem, Brewskey, 4 Origines and many more!!!
Happy NY everyone!
Happy new year! Montreal wasn't on my list to visit, but it is now!
It is worth a visit.
Hi Wolter! I think you made a little mistake, in the traditional Montréal hot-dog also known as Steamy (or a roteux like we locally say) we don't put sauerkraut in, it's a coleslaw (shredded green cabbage, white pepper, vinegar, salt, sugar, canola oil and depending the place some put celery for the texture but some don't (and, of course, no milk produce and NO fermenting contrary to a sauerkraut). The sauerkraut thingy it's only on specific thematic place you'll find it in Montréal.
Thanks.
I was going to mention as far as I know among my peers and folks in general, we order deux steamey tout garni.
That's a bun,hotdog, yellow mustard (French's) diced onion relish(sometimes) and slaw.
Thats it thats all.
The next best is a "Michigan".
A bun, hotdog, diced onions and a ladle full of med spiced chili sauce, add cayenne pepper for more zip.
Actually I have seen the Sauer-Kraut Hotdogs in several places in Montreal and Sauerkraut contains NO MILK PRODUCT, the lactic acid is based on the Choux's own fermentation, also Choux Croute is excellent to bring down your high cholestrol which you surely have as a mangeur des hot dogs. Also Choux Croute works as a natural Pepto Bismal as it stops Stomach-Burns/Brûlures d'Estomac, so buy good Kühne Weinsauerkraut of less expensive Polish Choucroute( Metro/IGA, or la Bernoise in Kirkland) to naturally heal your stomach burns you surely also have from eating Smoked Meat. Choux Croute for centuries was used against Stomach Burns both in the Plat Alsacien(F) and le Plat Bernois(CH) which are the same..as they shared a common border and even language.
Steam hot dog usually had a problem with the weiner too salty. Got to find the best weiner in town.
Happy New Year!!! Thanks for inspiring us always!!🎊 🎉💜
Happy New Year!
Had the Schwartz smoked meat in a Ruben at Le Saint Bock on Rue Saint Dennis, the food in Montreal is top notch, live almost 5 hours drive away and have been up twice in two months. Absolutely love Montreal and I’m working on my very poor French for next time. The open air markets at Atwater and Jean-Talon had some great and affordable eats!
Hopefully going in June with my wife ☺️
Another great video on my hometown! Montreal is a foodie's dream come true. There are so many different types of cuisine available, you could put on a blindfold, throw a dart at a map and whatever country it hits, odds are Montreal has at least one place that specializes in that type of food. Food tours are an option, but the easiest to do is self-guided (provided you have good walking shoes): start in Old Montreal and when you reach the Science Center, start walking up Saint-Laurent. It will take you through Chinatown, you'll find some trendy spots after you cross Sherbrooke street, then you'll go through parts of Mile End and the Plateau where Fairmont and St-Viateur are only a block or two away from St-Laurent. As you continue to walk north, you'll get to Little Italy and eventually you'll be near the Jean-Talon market and then you can take the Metro from Jean Talon station back to your lodging. If you're feeling truly brave and your legs don't hate you, walk a few blocks east to Saint Denis and walk southward for more food and drink destinations, where you will eventually end up on the Saint-Denis strip between Sherbrooke and de Maisonneuve streets, where you can't NOT find food or drink. A full day of walking should be just about enough to burn off most of the calories you will take in during your walk. The southwest borough also has some excellent locations for food and drinks, and if you follow the Lachine canal from Old Montreal, you will visit Griffintown, Little Burgundy, Point St-Charles, and Saint Henri, all of which have vibrant food and drink scenes.
Great advice. The only tourist traps in the city are around Place Jacques Cartier.
Lies again? Mister Potato
@@rioriggs3568 there used to be good retaurants at Place Jacques Cartier, for example la Maréee or le Saint Amour...
My fave place to go for a craft beer is the St Ambrose brewery. Especially since it has this random pink house on top a siloh 4 stories up in the air and the brewery itself has a nice vibe by the Lachine canal and is really close. Under a mile from my place. I highly recommend either the oatmeal stout or the Apricot Wheat ale.
Nice!
Peluso (two locations: Beaubien street and Rachel street) can best be described as beer Valhalla. The first time I went to Peluso, I was paralyzed by the beyond vast selection and the place has only gotten better over the years. Be forewarned, if your self control is not rock-solid, you will spend more than you planned. (But it's so worth it!)
Great video, thank you so much. Our favorite place for craft beer in Montreal is Messorem Bracitorium! If you look for the best IPAs or fruited sours, this is the place to go! We're looking forward to our next stay in Montreal in a week!
Savannah & Wolter'sWorldEat: I would love to travel the world and eat in different places. ☺️ You have a beautiful family! Thanks, for sharing some great places to visit and to eat @!! I enjoy watching your channel. - Keyneisha Wells
Always an honour when we have you reviewing our country.
Craft beers
Dieu du Ciel, Laurier St.
Brewsky Old Montréal
Harricana, Jean-Talon St.
Terrace St-Ambroise (summer only)
Well done (from a Montrealer). Best local brewery IMO is Dieu Du Ciel.
now you tell me!!! :)
nahhhhhhhh Dieu Du Ciel is overrated.
Happy new year! You make me want to go there just for the smoked meat sandwich! It’s only 5 hours away from me.
it was gooooood!!
Hi Walter just a heads up, both Fairmount Bagel and St Viateur are in the Mile End. It's 1 block away from each other !
Try '' Lesters '' on Benard street in Outrmont ( Montéal ) The best.
My personal favourite craft beer is Dieu du Ciel. Can’t go wrong with any of their beers!
Looks like you missed out Haitian food, it's been huge in the northern neighborhoods for a long time, but now you can find very good Haitian restaurant all over the city.
The best beer in Montreal to me is found at L'Amère à Boire(almost right next to the st-bock, less expensive and better beer!)
You're standing in that little park in front of Montreal City Hall going down on Place Jacques-Cartier. The column with the statue of Horatio Nelson can be seen in the 2014 film X-Men: Days of Future Past as it was shot right there in the court yard of City Hall as a stand in for Paris.
Happy new year Mark
You too Leo!
Schwartz's was the best smoked meat that I've ever had! That said, Main Deli, which is across the street, is better, according to a Montreal native friend of mine. Also Smoke Meat Pete. Next time I'll have to try them.
Main is indeed better than Schwartz.
It is close now 😭
So I'm from Oklahoma, and possibly back in the day when there were a few 3.2 beer states Canada had stronger beer. I live in Ontario and travel back and forth across border and (when i still drank) you could get the same beer on both sides. Both U.S and Canadian beers are usually 4.5 to 5.5 with the Ice versions 5.9 .
If you want a great restaurant to eat at for breakfast you should go to the Binerie its great and the price is very good for what it is
I Hear Montreal Quebec Has The Best Restaurants In Canada!
Don’t forget “apportez votre vin”! Bring your own wine, buy it at a depaneur and you can bring your own bottle into a restaurant!
Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Can't be beat.
Mont Real has food from all over the world.
👍👍
Blanche de Chambly or Cheval Blanc for sure. Maybe a rousse now and then.
The Unibroue one? You might try Coup de Grisou if you like those.
Like Reubens a bit better than Schwartz's and La Banquise is the place to go for poutine. If you can get in and want to spend, Joe Beef.
Went back to Schwartz at the begginning of the summer, I feel like it lost a bit of its magic. The meat was really dry and really overpriced, which is ironic because the grocery store version of Schwartz smoked meat was wayy better!
Mark, if u really want good smoke meat sandwiches, u recommended “Schwartz’s” (Tourist Trap)- my recommendation & u don’t have to travel far is DIRECTLY across the street @TheMain - much underrated & less priced- enjoy!! & Welcome to The Province Of Montreal- I’ll explain later- Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦
Alas, The Main deli has closed.
@@zekharye1 Yeah unfortunately, that’s 1 tough pill to swallow after being open so long!😪
Hot-Dog et frites "Chez Matante" Fleury près de St-Michel, depuis bientôt cent ans !
Being a foodie And not from Quebec Montreal has a number of places dotted all over Montreal...for me and my 4 trips there Dunn's Famous is a Burger/fries/dogs with Amazing poutines And things you would get in Montreal Cake was 10+++ !
To be a Montrealer You need to go to Wilensky's Light Lunch Get a sandwich of salami And bologna with mustard grilled on a bun And a Egg creme....Read the rules...its been like that since 1932 If you are a vet like me get the sandwiches to go a few pickles Head up Montreal's hill that overlooks Montreal "Mount Royal" which is a 10 min car drive I been up there with full meals And a blanket. Truly a great place to relax
If you are looking for finer dining And more rustic taste of french Canadian cooking Famous is "Joe Beef " a bit Yuppie for me
Paname on Wellington street was better to my liking You might want to call ahead,
What Montreal restaurant did you get that beautiful bacon double deluxe cheeseburger at?
Portuguese chicken sandwiches are amazing and underrated. I miss Montréal, my favorite city in the world, where I attended university.
I like Amir's for fast food that is a bit different. Nouilles de Lanzhou has gotten a lot of attention for Chinese.
On the sad side one of my favorite small places in the city, a Trinidadian place, closed down 😭.
Actually, if you go to Shwartz and the line is too long, the Portuguese restaurant next to it is also really good.
@@silviastanziola659 I love Coco Rico. It was one of my go to's. That's actually where I found out about the Portuguese chicken.
A very important question! Do you guys normally tip in Montreal? If yes how much? And do you also tip when you get takeways like smoked meat sandwich and bagels?
Schwartz’s deli smoked meat sandwich only: $14
Fries: $4.70
Coleslaw: $4.35
Pickles: $2.65
Dunns Combo (includes fries coleslaw pickle): $20
Chenoy’s: similar.
You don’t have to tips for take out
"MONTREAL SMOKED MEAT" IS ONLY FOUND IN MONTREAL AND WE HAVE MANY GREAT PLACES TO EAT THIS TREAT!!
What links Montreal to other largest Englishspeaking city Toronto in Canada the New York State thruway
Orsen Wells.
Kettlemans is another great bagel shop with stores in Ottawa Montreal and Toronto
Thanks!
I have read that the Canadian beer strength thing is a myth. It was based on an old American alcohol rated by weight (ABW) which was less than the now used ABV. So a 4% ABW would actually be a 5% ABV. Most beer is between 4 and 8 percent ABV, which is the same in Canada. Canadians don't make particularly strong beer, despite the common misconception.
That depends on the type of beer. If you're talking about run-of-the-mill lagers, those will clock in at the usual 5 %, same as everywhere else. If you start looking into Quebec craft beers, you'll find that 7-8 % is often time the lightest available. Many of the most highly regarded local craft beers are 9, 10, 11 %+.
@@louisd.8928A buddy of mine from Portland had to learn that the hard way a number of years ago.
He had one of those Quèbec beers (La Fin du Monde) at a poutinerie here in Vancouver, after we were already 10 pints and a bunch of shots deep.
Needless to say, it did not end well for him.
I am from Montreal and I don't like poutine. I had some when I was a kid and will never eat it again. Fairmount bagel is the best in my opinion, but it is on Fairmount street in Plateau Mont Royale and nowhere near little Italy as you mention in the video. I tell people who come to Montreal that eating out in restaurants is quite expensive here, so be prepared for the high menu prices.
It's not that long a walk down St Laurent if you want to go from Little Italy to Fairmont. 20mins if that.
Great enthusiasm for Montréal. On a side note, we are not a melting pot in Canada. We are proudly multicultural. 👍🏼. Keep the great videos coming.
Steamies are onion mustard relish and coleslaw. 😂
I would say that the Province of Quebec is currently THE beer center of the universe with so many great micro-breweries (big and small): Unibroue, Brasseur RJ, Le trou du diable, etc.
You'll find every flavor and type of beer imaginable...
According to Wikipedia, Quebec has over 150 micro-breweries offering approximately 3348 different beers (more than double the amount in Belgium)!
Some of these beers have 3x the alcohol of US beers... Now you know lollll
If you go to the SAQ (liquor store), you'll also find imported beers from all over the world (Italy, Belgium, Japan, etc.)
Enjoy the city!
For real beer lovers Peluso, has a few locations and a store organized by beer styles and probably the biggest selection. If you're in the Mile End getting bagels or a Wilensky maybe, all the corner stores have decent selection but the most interesting one is on the same strip as the newly revamped Dieu du Ciel brewpub, on Laurier, just west of St Laurent.
Montreal queu de chaval for a steak
Montreal offers more sophisticated food and world well known chefs and leaders in North America ...
6:15 : This myth about Canadian beer being stronger than US beer needs to be put to rest at last. It was born out of the fact that alcohol contents is measured by weight (ABW) in the US and by volume (ABV) in Canada. And since 4% ABW translates into 4.8% ABV, US Citizens having missed the fact that the measurement units are not the same have jumped to conclusions over time and cemented into minds this unfounded myth that "Canadian beer is stronger". Which just does not compute with the facts.
Really? Have anybody drink 3 American beers, then the next day have 3 canadian beers, trust me, you will find it harder to find the door on the second night, but nice try😂
If you're vegan, Montreal has thousands of vegan restaurants and most restaurants will always have a vegan option. If you are a vegetarian and you don't want to eat poutine because of the gravy, La Banquise's gravy is 100% vegetarian-friendly.
3 words :
Smoked meat poutine.
winner winner... poutine dinner :)
@@woltersworld Poutine is also an ideal late night snack after a night of heavy drinking.
Not Stee-mee, but Stee-may
La Banquise is a tourist trap. It's not a bad poutine but it's far from the best and much more expensive than it's worth. Avoid it.
IMO Chez Ma Tante is the best poutine in mtl but don't over think it. Go to Lafleur or La Belle Province. Get a combo meal 2 steamies, poutine and a pepsi. Real Montreal shit right there.
Montreal = bologna sandwiches and smoked meat poutine
Not pouteen, poutsin. ✌🏻
😂😂😂😂😂
In the U.S. we don't say American cheese, we just call it cheese.
No, there is American cheese. Think kraft singles. That is a style of cheese called "American cheese"
@@WoltersWorldEats Kraft Singles technically isn't cheese per CFR, but they're darn good on a burger.
Man, that construction sound (cutting metal or something) was annoying
welcome to Montreal. You can't get away from road construction and construction
Montreal looks/sounds fantastic ❤
You MUST get your smoked meat sandwiches EXTRA fat-DO NOT try to go “healthy”!
ya, makes a surprising difference in the degree of flavour! If you get a lean sandwich it's going to taste lean and less flavourful
food north of montreal sucks.
Who in the world cut that smoked meat sandwich , it’s disgusting , smoked meat is supposed to be cut very thin…
This sandwich doesn’t look appealing at all 🤮🤮🤮
This is the only good thing about Montreal, the food. Other than that, the city sucks
Forget Schwartz's. Snowdon is the best!
They are all awesome
@@WoltersWorldEats Snowdon is deeply underrated, and not the least bit busy. Lots of flavour and the lean cuts are typically juicier than Schwartz. There's a great Korean-run Japanese restaurant in the neighbourhood too if one wanted to explore more of Canada's most ethnically diverse neighbourhood, Cote Des Neiges. Montreal as a whole is broadly pretty white european in descent but CDN has loads going on, but is more of a biking choice than a walking choice.
Montreal food sucks. I know. I live here
you should get out more.
What about walenskis ?
