Totally agree with you on this!!! It’s done so so great, like a mini- movie that you instantly want to add to your favorites… Thank you, @Attachetravel !
Being originally from Montreal, and can say that he is spot on with everything he said in this video. By far the best Montreal video that I have come across. Wow! He really spent the time to understand the culture and explained it in a simple way. All facts presented are true.
As good a presenter he is, this was disappointing and had little depth. He went to two food places and they were standard. Schwartz’s? Really? Just a little lazy. You want proper smoked meat? Montrealers go to the Snowden Deli. That’s but one example.
I just finished my exchange program in montréal. i am so sad that i left the most amazing city i've ever been to. watching this video made relive it all. thank you.
I visited Montreal last weekend. If you live in NA, visiting this city is a must. It is cold as hell but restaurants are out of the world, Mount Royal is fabulous and Old Montreal is magical. There was a NHL game of Canadiens at my first day, so bought a last minute ticket and Habs atmosphere is amazing. Lots of parks you can stroll. Also public transport is amazing.
North America's french alternate reality was exactly how I described it after my first visit in 2018 (and after my third European trip of the year, twice including OG France). I love Montreal for being a nearby escape and yet somehow still a familiar setting that's distinctly unique. It's a slice of Europe but not in some type of contrived, forced construct or way. I cannot wait to go back, and I am so glad my go to and favorite travel channel has served up another gem of a video/overview
@@attachetravel It doesn't look like you've been to New Orleans, USA just yet. That city has an alternate reality feel to me. It may be right up your alley. Cheers!
I love how professional your format is! I send it to friends and family when they’re traveling all the time because it feels like something you’d watch on the travel channel😭
Been watching your videos for a while to prep for my travels... Rome, Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo... And now my city gets the Attaché treatment. What a fantastic overview of what to expect in MTL! And you leave out enough for people to discover on their own... Merci Alex! T'es un bon chum de Montréal maintenant!
Such a helpful, genuine, and heartfelt video. Thank you for this. We are excited to visit Montreal for the first time in a couple of months and your guide has provided the perfect primer.
Montreal is the Canadian capital of culture ... if you like culture , i invite you to start with The Archeology museum in the old Montreal and the geant projections show on the buildings at night ( old Montreal)with the app Cité Memoire ... The app is free in 5 languages and relate the 400 years of Montreal history .. Montreal is an intelligent city ( technology ) and world leader in artificial intelligence .... The largest urban park in Canada and a leader in sustainibility ( more than 500 greehouse roof tops for urban agriculture and climate change . Cirque du Soleil ( Montreal compagny ) has a new show in the Old port. Moment Factory ( visual arts tech show ) has a new show as well at The Bonaventure place .
@@attachetravelI'm basically forced to move there I was in NYC and I'm homeless unfortunately but I'm looking for a job. Do you know where the homeless stay in Montreal?
Man, if I have to rank any top 5 RUclips channels I would include Attachè any time and everytime. You guys deserve millions of subscribers, man. Keep up the good work.
I always get the 747. Much more affordable. It's been a couple of years but I remember the exact change point. Love the Metro! My food favourites - obviously poutine, Schwartz Deli, and Eggs Benedict (La Vieux on St Laurent), I also loved Jean Talon market with its variety of international cuisine. I have a lot of time for Montreal! Amazing video as always, the quality is next level which these days is so rare. Dumbass shorts videos with shaky cam like its 2017 seem to be the norm nowadays unfortunately. Bring quality back!
@@attachetravel I live a block from Marché Jean-Talon and it's very seasonal. We all rejoice when the various local crops go through their phases then sigh when it battens down for winter. (October signals the end) though the bread, cheese and meat are great throughout the year!
Montreal is a favorite and a magical place. Glad you came to Canada and I would encourage you to come all across Canada. In fact I invite you to come to Winnipeg and see this highly underrated city.
As a Canadian, I stood up and took off my hat on reflex at the intro to the video. Also, as an eastern Canadian, we're just as mystified about Montreal as you are.
@@alexpearson8481 Free ride ? Québec is the original Canada. Until the 19th century only the french were called Canadians . The National anthem , poutine , Maple syrups all from Québec . Cultural , history and name appropriation of english Canada
@@9grand I’d say Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City are all very unique in its own way. Toronto’s cosmopolitanism is unmatched by any city in the world except maybe NYC, Montreal’s blend of Franco/Anglo culture is unique in North America and Quebec City feels like a town in Northern France rather than one in NA. Every other Canadian city is rather bland imo
@@Entername-md1ev Cosmopolitatinism is nothing unique in 2023 London , Paris Brussels are very diverse too . Toronto has nothing unique in its language, architecture, food etc . Everything seems to be recently imported from other cultures .
Montrealer here, great vid! Drop by in the summer and you'll be truly dumbfounded! And we have an automated transit system - REM - that is opening soon that will also connect the airport. And.. Amtrak has a MTL-NYC train.
My pops was born in Montreal in 1919. A decendent of a French soldier in Louis the XIV's Carignan Regiment sent to protect French Settlers. Also decended from a Scot Highlander, expelled with his family and many others by the British crown. Large groups of Scots fled to Montreal.
Another super interesting travel video from Attaché! BTW, soon Montreal will have train connection from the airport to downtown, with its REM network. Let's just hope it doesn't take ten years to complete...
I love your videos, I love my city.... I love poutine. :D Judging by the waitress' outfit, I was at La Banquise on the same day as you. I guess I missed you, I would have said Welcome to Montréal!
@@attachetravel Indeed. You chose the best of the bunch, anyone who says otherwise is just looking for a fight 🤔. Glad you liked your trip, you're always welcome here. For the full experience, come back at -40C in late january.... and wait in line at La Banquise! 😁 Keep up the great work!
If you come back, try other restaurants. Montreal has an awesome culinary scene with many new creative restaurants for all budgets. There's also institutions like La binerie (traditional French Canadian since 1938), l'Express which is a French style Bistrot. French cuisine has always been part of the Quebec scene since centuries - most of their dishes were also in the first recipe book that made it to Quebec in the 18th and 19th century - this is closer to what we have always had in my family. My grandmothers used to make those dishes. I had poutine 3 times in my life and very rarely bagels, my parents never. Every single youtube reviewer brings up bagels (yet croissants are more popular) and smoked meat instead of the everyday go to food.
I been there in sept for academic conference! such a lovely city with full of great foods and views! Still missing Schwart's smoked meat sandwich, and Bagel. and you guys forgot to mention Tim hortons! they were running in Canadians blood! lol
At 13:24 is the Savoyarde, my go to at La Banquise. But in my opinion, there are many better places for Poutine, with shorter lines and fewer tourists!
@@attachetravel My favourite places for poutine would be Chez Claudette in the Plateau, for the sheer variety, and Restaurant AA in St-Henri, specifically for their Italian poutine, which is made with a kind of bolognese. Other noteworthy places are La Pataterie in Hochelaga and Paul Patates in Point St Charles. Otherwise, Ma Poule Mouillée across the street from La Banquise make an amazing piri-piri and linguiça poutine. Other than that, I always like to get my poutine with a steamie, a Montreal hot dog dressed with mustard, relish, onions and sauerkraut.
I’m going in a month to see my boyfriend! I’m so nervous and excited, but originally planned to not go out much on the trip, your video helped convince me to go out and explore with him to help me not get lost 😅 I’m so excited!
While I hope this channel continues to grow, I love being part of a community that has found something very special, and I kind of want to keep this just to ourselves. Another excellent episode! Research shows that adding emoji to comments can increase a video's engagement statistics. 🧐✌💁♂🐬😄
There's no city I have loved or dreamed of more than Montreal. I have spent most of my life trying to figure out how to move there without losing my citizenship.
i don't know if it was an intentional pun-roast but i loved the "I always regarded Quebec and Montreal as a hole" intro... then "what the fuck is that" xD
Everyone speaks English in the city apart from the very old. Cab drivers too. I had some African Uber driver who spoke French and whatever African dialect his profile said no English but that was BS. He spoke pretty good english. I was happy since I got to practice my French which is nearly impossible in the city limits. If you go to Granby (excellent for their water park/zoo, you read that right. It’s awesome) they speak almost no English outside the park. Brossard and Montreal all have lots of English speakers
thanks for making my town this wonderful video! yes, we do speak french, but in Montreal, i'd say 80% of the population understand and can speak english. so no worries, just come and enjoy! Also, the winter are cold, yes, BUT we have one of the the biggest underground city in the WORLD for u to explore, some hotels, like the Westin Montreal, have it's own ''secret passage'' to go throught, so u don't even need to bring your winter coat and just exploring the city ;-)
Thankfully, in four, maybe 5 years, we should have the Trudeau airport connected to the new regional metro. It's been a long time coming, really. I am almost anxiously waiting for the relatively fast (20 minutes to downtown) and frequent trains of the REM.
Thank you for this Genuine glorious explanation of my city. Yes...our Airport is...well...not as fonctionnal as you said and we do need a better way to commune from there to down town, like every big city. ( They are working on it, REM is coming ( we hope) in 2017 to connect the airport and the Central station...about time really). Have you notice the french Lyric of our National Anthem ingraved on the wall at the Central Station ? ( 4:22 ) :) There is a lot of hidden gems like this all over the town :) Glad you enjoyed your stay.... and Yes...we will conquer the world, one Poutine at a time ;) haha
There is a new automated skytrain( REM ,moderrn public transport ) under construction from the airport to downtown and around the city of $ 9 billion ...Montreal is built on an Island , 7 times bigger than Manhattan with the largest urban park in Canada , Mount Royal park .
Montreal is not the quaint old Montréal or the generic downtown. Nope , Montréal is about it's borough like le plateau, Rosemont , la petite patrie , etc . Its outside spiral staircase, it's parks , its life on it's balcony etc
Great review with lots of practical comments. Poland? I think bagels and smoked meat recipes came to Montreal from the Ukraine. If you don't want to tip, it's not impossible but it's considered an insult (i.e. if you truly got bad service and want to send a message). The traditional French practice is to leave four pennies but alas, there are no more pennies in Canada, so bring pennies from another country. (No tipping allowed at Wilensky's).
Btw attaché is my dad and to prove it he will pin this

Going to old Montréal and Québec city is just like going to Europe for an American without the jet lag

Not at all... Neither Montréal nor Québec City are authentically European, nor do they seem to be...

4:45 I visited Montreal first time in winter. It is amazing city. I will definately come back.
As a Chicagoan who went to university in Montreal (McGill), I've liked where you have been hitting lately. Doing my two favorite cities proud.
You have excellent taste in cities
Andre Dawson spent most of his baseball career playing in those two cities.
I was born and raised in Montreal ... left to Toronto when I was 30. Loved your unbiased take and over all appreciation on that beautiful city
I've never been west of Europe but I feel such a special connection to montreal, I need to visit one day
I can't wait to get back there, an absolutely amazing place.

In some years the REM a light train system should be connected to the airport.

Great episode! I have to go!
Montreal is indeed perfect
Loving Quebec is a kink to Attaché
Pro tip - the locals pronounce it "poutsin" with the slightest s on the ts. And that last syllable is TIN, not TEEN.
This has so little info about Montreal except showing me the airport, talking about the cold weather and a video of a bagel 😂
Do Jacksonville Florida it has some interesting things to do
Like it’s the biggest city in Florida
The beaches
Transportation system improving
It's the biggest city in Florida? I had no idea.
