48 HOURS IN MONTREAL/ discover French speaking Canada (hidden gems + things to do)

Montreal. If you’re in search of mouth watering bagels, cobbled lanes which look like they’ve been plucked straight from the streets of Europe, and a delectable culinary scene, then consider visiting Montreal for your next weekend break. This guide is all about the perfect Montreal itinerary, including the best things to do in the city.
In this video, we’re going to spend a day exploring the old port and old town. On day two, we’ll get up bright and early to discover the viewpoint that Montreal is sos famous for before discovering Mile End and the Plateau Mont Royal.

Many people who were born here or who have moved here do not speak French and have no intention of learning it. Montreal is de facto a bilingual city. The use of English or French will depend on what neighbourhoods you go to or which people you interact with. We have 2 French-speaking universities and 2 English-speaking ones. We have TV stations and newspapers in either language. In fact, the local news in the papers or on TV/Radio will be different if it is presented in English or French. They call it "The Two Solitudes". The English and French-speaking communities know little about each other.

A few clarifications: here in Montreal, we call: “chips”, “French Fries”. If you don’t have cash on hand at St-Viateur Bagel Bakery, they now have an ATM (just be prepared to pay $fee - better to bring cash). Not far from the bakery is St-Viateur Bagel Café on Mont-Royal Ave, where you can buy bagels with toppings instead of DIY at the Bakery.

Love Montreal smoked beef but it isn’t pastrami! I adore Montreal and visit every few months! Fabulous food, sights, museums, Ritz Carlton, bagels, restaurants, shopping, you name it!

Very nice!

Nice

Montreal smoked meat is NOT PASTRAMI! It is spiced, cured and smoked beef brisket, unique to Montreal and a legacy of several East European traditions.

[@alexsouthpb55]

Montreal Smoked Meat is aged/cured over 2 weeks. When you order, ask for medium fat and mustard. Lean is too dry!

Toronto is better than Montreal….it is more cleaner, and aesthetic.
