Luke, great to see your review of Montreal. Canada is a Country I love, its a Country that when I first visited exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to your other reviews of Canadian Cities. Thank you Luke. God bless Steve
Luke , the “mayonnaise” with your bouillabaisse was an aioli commonly served with it in the south of France. It’s called rouille and is based on garlic, breadcrumbs, red peppers and olive oil .
Great video! I love Montréal so much. Just back from my second holiday and enjoyed so much delicious food! Love Verdun Beach restaurant and Vallier on McGill street!
People pronounce it "baygel" because of the 1 consonant "g" following the vowel "g". People would pronounce it the way you pronounce if the word is spelled "baggel". Of course there are exceptions in the english language
Hi Luke, I didn't know you are from Canada, you look very European, I just started watching your videos and I like them, and I also like street food, you look like a nice person, greetings from 🇦🇱🇦🇱
Im happy Sammi and soup dumpling shines a little more since a year or two on RUclips food tour because its soooo good best dumplings / sha long bao in the city !!!
Luke you got it right going to Gaspesie to have shrimp poutine!! THANK YOU for not promoting the bland, not worth-it poutine restaurant in Plateau Mont-Royal that I will not even mention. On the road to Gaspésie there is also a lot of very good small-shack poutines! Enjoy.
In Toronto the dumpling restaurant is called DING TAI FUNG - interesting story though. I've always wanted to visit Gaspesie. Your footage is so beautiful!
@@trevorlafave 💯 Anytime anyone inserts NYC bagels in the conversation, I know they haven’t tried a Montreal bagel. NYC bagels are objectively inferior in every way. I’d rather have a French baguette if I want high quality fluffy bread with a good crust.
1) Snowdon Deli vs Schwartz is controversial, and I'm really happy you highlighted both despite preferring Snowdon. In my opinion, Schwartz's meat has a better lean/fat ratio and is more heavily spiced. However, Snowdon's restaurant is less touristy and more "authentic" Jewish Deli style, in the sense that it's filled with lots of Jewish families enjoying lunch. 2) The fake "Din(g) Tai Fung" (with an extra g) operates our of Markham, near Toronto. It's owned by our family friend, and it's one of my favourite restaurants in the city. That said, I'd love to have the OG Din Tai Fung in Canada.
Hey Luke thank you for showing us the other side of Quebec and i love the video. Can you pls pls tell us more re the tour that you guys did and where did you guys stayed?
Welcome home! I moved to Montreal as a kid when I first immigrated to Canada. I am now in Toronto and I miss MTL. I know how you love great quality food having followed you for a while, I want to recommend you try Damas in Montreal. It is the BEST Middle Eastern restaurant in the city and really worth it. I enjoy eating and drinking at the Burgundy Lion or Liverpool House which are located right across one another next door to Joe Beef. Au Pied Du Cochon is another must try, I havent been in over 10 years but it is a quintessential Montreal culinary institution. I hope you have a great time, ps I wrote this before watching the video so I am sorry if you already tried these spots in the vid. I couldn't contain my excitement xD.
La prochaine fois que vous ferez une vidéo de Paris, prenez le temps de bien nous montrer les champs de lavande, la vue directe sur les Alpes, les plages du Débarquement et les murailles de Carcassonne! Toutes des destinations plus pertinentes que de montrer l’île Bonaventure et Gaspé par rapport à Montréal et surtout bien moins éloignées!
Hi Luke! I have tried smoked meat sandwiches at different restaurants in Montreal, and they all taste quite similar with little difference. I suspect they are all supplied by the same smoked meat vendor. Nevertheless, every time I visit Montreal, I always make sure to have at least one; I love this delicacy so much!
1st time to hear about Delisnowdon. Will definitely go to try. I also have recommendations for you, Luke, Smoke Meat Pete (283 1er Rue, L'Île-Perrot, Quebec J7V 5A1) - The Best smoke meat i ever had, my opinion. For soupe dumplings, have you ever been to Fu Chun Soupe Dumpling ? (it is at 1978 Blvd. De Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec H3H 1K5). This is Shanghai's style soupe dumpling. I hope you like them, too.
Love it been planning to visit Montreal this will help me navigating the street food - thank's Luke! Let me know if you plan to visit Toronto would love to host you and take you to some authentic Pakistani and Indian restaurants in Mississauga :)
It's at Schwartz that I discovered that I had a food allergy. Don't get me wrong almost 20 years ago, I went there and got a Montréal Smoke meat sandwiches with a side of cherry coke? and then I started suffering with a rash, nauseous, trouble to breath, lethargic. I'm so gutted because I REALLY enjoyed that sandwich, it had an amazing taste!
how can you talk about Montreal smoked meat and not talk about Dunns?! Dunn’s is BY FAR the best smoked meat in the city. Around for almost 100 years and absolutely legendary. You need to go there next!
I think the Trini and Jamaican food alone pushes Toronto over Montreal. Southeast and South Asian food is also miles ahead in Toronto vs anywhere in Canada. Just that combination is like the top food in the world for me. Plus Toronto is the testing ground for all of the famous Asian brands when the expand to they West. Everything from Uncle Testu to Hot Star Taiwanese chicken launched in Toronto first.
There is so much more to food in Quebec than poutine, bagels and smoked meat. Those prawns at Brise Bise are precooked and frozen, not fresh. Pretty sure the shrimp for that poutine are too. There is much better.
You nailed it. The 2 best places to eat Smoked meat are indeed Snowdon Del & Schwartz’s. But, eating smoked meat on anything but rye? Blasphemy! PS bagel is absolutely pronounced with a hard A 😂🤦🏼♀️
What ever they say it in the US or even Canada, it was invented by the Jewish communities of Poland. The correct spelling is in Yiddish and it’s bajgiel!
I guess I’ve been saying Montreal wrong all along. I say Mon-treal (like Mahn-treal) but he says Mun-treal (like Muhn-treal). He must be right since he’s Canadian and used to live there. Whereas from the US.
Honestly, one of my favorite episodes. Thanks Luke.
Thank you so much!
@@LukeMartin You bought bagels and forgot the schmear? I take it you stopped by Ricky's trailer on the way in.
I frequent Ricky’s trailer
@@LukeMartin 😎👍
Watching from Montreal! We've been watching your vlogs for years, we had no idea you used to live here. Awesome!
Awesome! Thank you!
So many beautiful views,wow!😢😮❤
Yeah ... I didn't catch her name :)

Thanks Steve!
What exceeded your expectations Steve. ?
@@MTLGSE The beauty of the Country and her people.
We loved this vid! Keep up your great work Luc!👍👍Montreal, Quebec Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you! Will do!
Luke’s Martin - Amazing scallop soup and sandwich salad mouthwatering delicacy.
Dude says Montreal then goes to Gaspésie which is 10hrs away.
Just trying to show more of the province that many haven’t seen, including most locals.
Was just going to comment that. Half not even food haha
😂
This is the way!
😂😂😂😂😂
Wow Luke is back with a banger🎉🎉🎉
Great video, Luke. Everything looked amazing. Being a former New Yorker, I say Baygel 😂😂😂
Thanks! 😃
The bagels are so good there. Those are cool sunglasses thanks for the entertainment
Luke , the “mayonnaise” with your bouillabaisse was an aioli commonly served with it in the south of France. It’s called rouille and is based on garlic, breadcrumbs, red peppers and olive oil .
Ok.
Damn man wish I knew u were coming. Montréal is my home and it's trully so unique and not to mention we only have 89.8million restaurants 😂. Love it
Great video! I love Montréal so much. Just back from my second holiday and enjoyed so much delicious food! Love Verdun Beach restaurant and Vallier on McGill street!
Oh wow that Montreal smoked meat spot at the beginning inning looked fantastic Luke. Awesome food in Montreal and its beautiful 😍
It is seriously delicious! Montreal has amazing smoked meat!
happy for your traveling to find a food ❤❤
Born and raised in mtl and Snowdon is by far the best smoked meat. Love that you went there to let the people know
happy you agree!
Glad you had a good time in my city! :)
People pronounce it "baygel" because of the 1 consonant "g" following the vowel "g". People would pronounce it the way you pronounce if the word is spelled "baggel". Of course there are exceptions in the english language
Too funny, was just composing a similar response in my head when I came across your post. Pretty basic English rule to make the pronunciation Bay-gel.
Yup. Long 'A' vowel sound vs short.
Definitely going to SnowdonDeli❤Been to many smokemeat places in Montreal. Live in the western but definitely gonna go!!❤🎉
You gotta try it! It's the best smoked meat in Montreal!
Love Snowdon, can't agree more with the assessment.
Glad we’re on the same page
Wow nice views of beautiful gaspe…. Amazing, always wanted to go there❤❤
The bagels with sesame looked so good. The fisherman soup looked banging.
Great video I love the MTL food scene! Everything looks so good!
The soup with the kneidlech made me want to make one for Shabbat! Thanks for your great videos!
It's so good!

Doesn't matter how he looks. 🤣It matters how he sounds. People from Canada can look like any human on earth.
Im happy Sammi and soup dumpling shines a little more since a year or two on RUclips food tour because its soooo good best dumplings / sha long bao in the city !!!
🍁Welcome back home in 🇨🇦
Oh those bagels look GOOD!
Love Snowden Deli! Went there almost every school day, as the college campus (Vanier College) was right across the street.

Fairmont Bagel >> St. Viateaur. That is all.
Agreed. I find it funny that we have bagel ‘wars’ within the city but we can all collectively agree that NY bagels dont come close.
@@trevorlafave 💯 Anytime anyone inserts NYC bagels in the conversation, I know they haven’t tried a Montreal bagel. NYC bagels are objectively inferior in every way. I’d rather have a French baguette if I want high quality fluffy bread with a good crust.
Montreal is awesome! 👏🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
That seafood looks awesome and the portions are excellent too !
Oh, wow! Long time fan here. Would have loved to take you guys out for a great dinner here in Montreal. Lots of amazing restaurants.
my fav smoked meat so far is the builder plate, medium, at Gerry's down on Ontario
happy to hear you used to live in Mtl!

Quelle belle surprise !! Bienvenue à quebec
Eh!Watching here from Toronto❤️
Wow dude that's amazing
I live right behind Snowdon Deli. I agree = best smoked meat in the city!
You are lucky to live that close!
@@LukeMartin My Mom began eating there is the 50s, and I have been going since the early 70s :)
Thank you, Luke, for correcting the pronunciation of BAGEL. A lot of people pronounce it as BAYGEL😂😂. Welcome back to Canada.

F.Y.I saint viateur bagel shop was excellent when they use real firewood back in the day.
It is BAY gel because the BA sound makes a bay sound.
I really hungry when I when I see you test it 😋😍 1:40
Split pea soup in a cup while strolling
Who is watching cause it is Montreal
how can you talk about Montreal smoked meat and not talk about Dunns?! Dunn’s is BY FAR the best smoked meat in the city. Around for almost 100 years and absolutely legendary. You need to go there next!

As a NYer those be fighting words, Luke. Lol. But love the video and ofcourse all the food. Butterscotch bagel feels like a crime though.
Hahaha I’ll have to come down and see for myself
Don’t you guys have rainbow bagels
@@DetectiveBunk1011 Its a color not a flavor.
Din Tai Fung is coming to Vancouver, Canada😃
Yes I did hear that!!!
It is said for a traveler the biggest culture shock is the one when you go back home
here we go! 😋😋😋
Hope you enjoy

There is so much more to food in Quebec than poutine, bagels and smoked meat. Those prawns at Brise Bise are precooked and frozen, not fresh. Pretty sure the shrimp for that poutine are too. There is much better.
Yeah? Let's hear where and what then!
Oooo is this a "meet the in-laws" trip home?? 😁
Bienvenus à Montréal!⚜️😁
I was looking to visit in May 2025. Traveling with 3 boys need ideas to keep them busy.
I was in Montréal a month ago!
First of all, Fairmount bagels are the best in Montreal. And second, although it’s trendy to mention, Snowdon deli doesn’t come close to Schwartz’s.
As a Qcker Lester’s deli on Bernard st is the best smoked meat in Montreal.
You nailed it. The 2 best places to eat Smoked meat are indeed Snowdon Del & Schwartz’s. But, eating smoked meat on anything but rye? Blasphemy!
PS bagel is absolutely pronounced with a hard A 😂🤦🏼♀️
No. It's bay-gel. Unfortunately, it's not transliterated from Yiddish well in North America. In England they spell it beigel, which is more accurate.
What ever they say it in the US or even Canada, it was invented by the Jewish communities of Poland. The correct spelling is in Yiddish and it’s bajgiel!
Yes you are right. Do they sell bagels in Poland?
It's a rip-off version of the ka'ak from Syria similar-ish to the traditional "obwarzanek krakowski" from Poland
I guess I’ve been saying Montreal wrong all along. I say Mon-treal (like Mahn-treal) but he says Mun-treal (like Muhn-treal). He must be right since he’s Canadian and used to live there. Whereas from the US.
Montreal has some of the best cuisine on the continent but for some reason it is still more famous for bagels, poutine and smoked meat.
Did you run to Gaspesie during that week when it was hot and humid in montreal?
Gaspésie : best Poutine with shrimp = St-Flavie
little road trip mtl gaspesi hahahhaha wow
Hahaa oops
OH WTFFF YOU'RE A MONTREALER FUCK YEAHHH
Luke,will you be go explore China again?last time u made a lot such incredible videos
❤
I’m from NY I’m def not saying baaagel. What am I a sheep 🐑 baaaah 😂😂😂
Those birds have sweet meat on them u should try it
This is my city since 1968
I never understood the love for Schwartz, sure it's good, but it's so dry. Lester's is so much better.
Nothing like a still warm St-Viateur sesame bagel on a cold Montréal morning!👍
You got that right!
