We took a 4-hour train ride from Quebec City to Montreal. Why? Well, mostly to try out the closest to the original Montreal-style bagels that we could. We found a bit more to enjoy though...

I am proud of you guys for finding the old school Montreal bagel shops. I always try to get my bagel warm from the oven but we don’t always have that luxury. I recommend heating them up uncut in a toaster oven if possible so it’s crisp on the outside and still soft in the middle
Nice couple, nice channel, but I can't believe you missed tasting Montreal's smoked meat, from Swhartz, Ben's, Dunn's etc... Poutine was invented in Québec, the Montreal kind of bagel is very well known, quite different from New-York, but the "Montreal smoked meat" is from another planet! :)
You have to come back to try it, and I offer to be your personal guide for that day! (I am a history buff and know my city by hearth!) :)
Thank you for the nice words. My lovely wife does most of the research and she probably didn't seek out smoked meat places as she's not a fan for some reason. I promise to stick up for trying the Montreal smoked meat. We've gotten a lot of comments on how good it is.
Montréal is a great city. Great memories there. Like a lot of Canada, summer is when festivals happen, and Montréal has some great ones!
I wish you’d had your bagels warm, right out of the oven. They are so yummy that way. Enjoying your videos.
Next time! And thank you. :)
Oh, Montreal - the memories! Montreal smoked meat, a religious tour I once did, the croissants, and, and, and, ..... An amazing walkable city.
As a Canadian with experience living across our country I must say you have really done your homework or you have great advisers. I am having a great time watching this Canadian series. My parents were Irish immigrants and I have worked in Ireland so you are batting 100.
Melissa is the researcher. She's quite nerdy. :D
I'm in Ontario and it's been a few years since I've been to Quebec. Your video makes me want to go back. You should visit Quebec City as well.
Oh we did! Check out our previous video. :)
I can't tell what's more addicting: Montreal bagels or this channel. Can't wait for the next episode!
Side note: I've noticed that Americans usually pronounce Montreal as "mawn-tree-all", whereas English Canadians typically pronounce it as "munn-tree-all". But is seems like the US pronunciation is actually much closer to the original French name.
I was going to comment exactly the same!
Thank you for the kind words!
@@natnasci I've noticed that difference in pronunciation, too!
Here in Montreal, the proper pronounciation, as spoken in French, is "mon-real"...the "t" is silent.
in french the t is silent
amazing trip you did and the best way...the train...no traffic ease of mind....you saw my old neighbourhood when i live in Old Montreal, my old school..Conservatory of Music...Chez Suzette..use to go twice a month..Notre-Dame...for you who love donuts...Beaver tales....i cannot remember if you tried them..they are all over Canada anyway...thanks for the great video
Thank you. Would have liked more time in Montreal... some day perhaps, we'll be able to get back there.
You were wise to take the train. Traffic in Montreal is extremely challenging. No smoked meat? Pity. Most Montrealers prefer the plain sesame or poppy seed bagels, warm out of the oven, I think. It is a terrific city, my home -- a US expat.
Yes, we feel bad about missing out on the smoked meat. Thanks for watching.
So cute that you are afraid of ferries (or was?)
I lived on Montreal bagels in the 80s. They were $2.00/dozen & when they were fresh from the oven you would eat at least half by the time you got home.
Check out Kingston, ON next. You guys will love that city. I'll personally give you a tour!
On our way out to Lévis, we were going to stay in Kingston, but then everything got messed up.
@@chrisplusmelissa I live about an hour west of Kingston now but grew up there. Lots of historic sites there. Check out the video on my channel called "Historic Kingston"
You should have went to St-Joseph's Oratory. The view is unbelievable.
Again, love your vids. I took the train from Toronto to Montreal and enjoyed it a lot more than the 4-5 hours it would have taken me to drive it. I don't know what it is but almost every time I watch your videos , I get hungry. Keep up the great work you are better than 500 some odd subs.
Thank you for the kind words. The subs thing puzzles us, yet, we believe that when we get a video that goes gang busters... we'll be prepped for it because we have a lot of videos that we're proud of. Moral support from you and others really makes our day!
It also has great poutine and smoke meat sandwiches too!
St Viateur is #1! I live in Western Canada and we have a gourmet shop that gets weekly shipments from St Viateur. Sesame is my favourite !
LOL! Them Christmas pierogies.
We make them every year as well. By 3/4s of the way through rolling the dough, we get tired/bored/'full of holiday cheer' and can't be bothered to make them regular size. So, we end up with 63 regular ones, and 8 MEGApierogies fit for gawds.
Mmmmmm pierogies.
When I am in Montreal, I always stop at Fairmont Bagels.
Aw! ou gotta have 'em hot. Bagels have a half life of about ten minutes!
Vous êtes géniaux...you are genius..,...ok now i will watch the video
You went to the right place. Best bagles ever. You should try them with salmon cheese. Miam!
Smart move taking the train, Montreal traffic is horrendous, everything is under construction. Next time you need to try the smoked meat.
Lots of comments about the smoked meat... I feel bad that we missed out on that.
@@chrisplusmelissa A good reason for another visit. The most famous is Schwartz's Deli on St. Laurent Blvd.
0:12 good french buddy, its ''nous avons des bien de train pour montréal''
You missed the best Schwartz smoked meat on St-Laurent street.
Darn it. Maybe next time.
Yup another must see city.
We were planning on going to Montreal earlier this year as my daughter had a ringette tournament. But alas, it was canceled. Stupid Covid!!!
Yes... Covid is stupid!
If you are still there , you need to go to Pub BreWskey 380 Rue Saint-Paul E, Montréal and next door is the best bakery
We actually went to the Pub BreWskey and it's in the vid! :D We loved it! We however, did not check out the bakery next door!
@@chrisplusmelissa I saw that you did as I watch more . The bakery next door as my wife said who is a chef , had the best croissants she has ever had . If you go back they are a must .
@@qtpwqt IF we do we will most certainly do that. (If we can remember.) And tell your wife we appreciate what she does. The people who own and work for bakeries, restaurants and bars are the best!!
@@chrisplusmelissa Funny thing is she did work in bars , bakeries etc. But after she got her chef papers , she stop working in them.
You should have went and visited the Biodome, it's pretty cool.
So much to do... not enough time to do it all.
@@chrisplusmelissa One day you'll go back to Montreal, I'm sure! The Biodome is part of a multi-instution organisation called 'Espace piur La Vie/Space for Life' that includes the botanical garden, the Insectarium and a planetarium (planetarium is apparently not that impressive) and you can get an annual subscription to all four that's about the cost of three or four tickets total to any of them and you get unlimited visits.

This video convinced me to subscribe. I LOVE Stash cafe! And the bagels too and the... Okay, can you guess where I'm from?
Thank you Fred! Stash was so delicious. We'd like to spend more time in Montreal some day.
That Via Rail car #2604 had a very noticeable flat spot on a wheel on your way back, sorry about that!
I don't think we realized... :D We were too into our bagels!
16:10 true canadian wearing shorts and T-shirt on what seem to be a cold day
St-Viateur is the best bagel place
Melissa, Montreal in french is pronounced ''Mon-ray-al''
Oops... Probably their biggest mistake in visiting Montréal : bagels are like a 9/10, but smoke meat sandwich are a 11/10... no... a 12/10 ! Maybe at their next visit ??? 🙂
You went to Montreal and didn't get any Smoked Meat? Sacriledge.
Maybe there's a smoked meat mission in our future! :)
I think in Quebec city they all speak French only (with few exceptions). Good luck widely communicating there! I believe in Montreal, however, most of the residents actually speak English? Correct me??
We found that 90% of the people we encountered spoke English in Quebec City.
@@chrisplusmelissa Quebec City, too! You're kidding! Maybe clarification is needed? Do they openly speak English in public whether-or-not they are talking to you (i.e. do they normally speak to each other in English?)? Or...are you saying 90% of the people in Quebec City KNOW how to speak English (of course...I was wrong either way!). Do you have time to answer that "clarification" question?
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 They speak French... we heard mostly French the whole time there... staff would speak English as soon as they noticed we were American.
@@chrisplusmelissa Thanks for the clarification! I know in Montreal they USED to mostly speak English out in the open. Of course, that was before so many anglophones (English-speaking) left Montreal. Whether-or-not they still mostly speak English (among themselves) in Montreal, I don't know for sure?
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 It depends on the area you visited in Montréal. The western half of the island traditionally has more English speaking population.
For I watch couple of your video. Born in Montréal I use to live in Vancouver. So butter tartes are french so is poutine from Québec. Being in Montreal for tasting Polish and Mexican food is like going to Vietnam to taste spaghetti and burger !
