    Hi Tom & Mike I so enjoyed seeing your city through your vlog. The Old Port of Montreal truly is dreamy. I wanted to share with you that last weekend we went back up to Mont Tremblant for the weekend. When we arrived, I told my husband that we had to check out the new restaurant Cheesus. I told him Tom and Mike recommended it so we had to check out... and loved the grill cheese. Thank you again for your beautiful vlog... love your recommendations. xoxo
