Awesome! Thank you!

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!

We loved this vid! Keep up your great work Luc!👍👍Montreal, Quebec Canada 🇨🇦

[@LukeMartin]

Thank you! Will do!

[@rakuraku8043]

Hey Luke, I just wanna sincerely thank you for the Montreal food recommendations!! My family and I really enjoyed the fresh bagels at St. Viateur and Snowdon Deli!!! Best value food ever!!!!!! Just one thing about the bagel shop though... the staff didn't seem very friendly but who cares.... we got 6 hot sesame bagels for just $7.15!! I really enjoyed the dining experience at Snowdon as it wasn't busy around 10am... the old lady server was so sweet and shared her story of the Jewish English-speaking community too!!

[@sonjavanhaute6963]

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

[@pacitadulaca4679]

Luke’s Martin - Amazing scallop soup and sandwich salad mouthwatering delicacy.

[@kenlovesMurica]

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

[@plrt6794]

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.

[@6mas]

Wow nice views of beautiful gaspe…. Amazing, always wanted to go there❤❤

[@RiotNoobs]

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.

[@acharis]

Great video, Luke. Everything looked amazing. Being a former New Yorker, I say Baygel 😂😂😂

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks! 😃

[@AussieAngeS]

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!

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.

[@frank_qc8506]

Im happy Sammi and soup dumpling shines a little more since a year or two on KZbin food tour because its soooo good best dumplings / sha long bao in the city !!!

[@faizanmckagan2827]

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

[@ninopanino10]

Born and raised in mtl and Snowdon is by far the best smoked meat. Love that you went there to let the people know

[@LukeMartin]

happy you agree!

[@RachealCU]

Definitely going to SnowdonDeli❤Been to many smokemeat places in Montreal. Live in the western but definitely gonna go!!❤🎉

[@LukeMartin]

You gotta try it! It's the best smoked meat in Montreal!

That seafood looks awesome and the portions are excellent too !

[@urquhmc]

Love Snowden Deli! Went there almost every school day, as the college campus (Vanier College) was right across the street.

[@djk7]

What is your favorite smoke meat spot? Mine has to be smoke meat pete bit its mad expeez now, lol. Bon video mon chum! New follower!!

[@Roheryn100]

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 .

[@Leodicapri0]

Ok.

[@penguinfarm907]

Love Snowdon, can't agree more with the assessment.

[@LukeMartin]

Glad we’re on the same page

🍁Welcome back home in 🇨🇦

[@skatingcanuck9837]

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!

[@fuscian]

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.

[@nikkicoyotie8431]

my fav smoked meat so far is the builder plate, medium, at Gerry's down on Ontario

[@MiriTirana]

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 🇦🇱🇦🇱

🤤I have to make a trip there soon, been so long since I ate at Swartz. I agree with you on the word bagel 🥯 🙂

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.

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!

[@KenSeguin-ur9zb]

[@zeinaaddas1758]

Who is watching cause it is Montreal

[@melaniesparkle7210]

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!

[@kayflip2233]

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.

As a Qcker Lester’s deli on Bernard st is the best smoked meat in Montreal.

[@rhondabaron8907]

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 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Michael-vg5tl]

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.

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!

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.

[@LukeMartin]

Yeah? Let's hear where and what then!

[@milhouse7145]

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.

[@mileitman]

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.

[@surenza]

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.

[@jessicarosen7759]

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!
