6 MUST EAT Restaurants in Montreal! | Jeremy Jacobowitz

[@vivaofficial7372]

Literally almost anywhere you go in MTL is fire. It's the city of food

[@BrunchBoys]

so good!!

[@steveyarnell2.o]

100% . Always has been.

[@twofouryul]

you want asian, african, american, european? no problem we got it in this little island.

[@chanimal24]

Very safe choices. Almost like he googled “where should tourists eat” and just took the top results. There are definitely better places for each type of food in this video

[@L0uisRp]

Tbf Wilensky's sandwich and Orange Julep's beverage are pretty unique, but yeah I agree. I was surprised he didn't talk about Schwartz's deli lmao

[@EternityGamesVids]

The only one that could be debattable would be St-Viateur Bagel, they are pretty much the best bagel we've got. Maybe Fairmount too but yeah

[@A.Nguyen-6490]

Orange julep on the fence, but the rest yeah. Odd lack of smoked meat though.

[@bobmorane2082]

Ouin j’pense pas google sorte le julep même si c pas très bon c spécial

[@joseelaberge291]

La Fabrique!!! ❤❤❤❤ One of the best restaurants in Montreal. They are very creative and just brilliant!

[@UtahNewsie]

I’ll be in Montreal next week and can’t wait to try a few of these places!

[@BrunchBoys]

love it!!

[@frantichornet0077]

was it good?

[@killuanatsume]

Tapeo. That's one of the really great restaurants in Montreal, well, if you like tapas. There is also Momo sushi. If you want to try sushi but you are allergic to fishes (Like me) Momo is a great place to go because it's vegan.

[@svavar82]

That apple fritter looks insanely tasty, I've tried Wilinskys simple sandwich, it was ok, the reason it's famous it has a good tasty/cheap ratio. The Poutine were struggles for me, I had it twice and both times the portions were so big that I struggled even on a hungry stomach I could only finish a little more than half but the flavors and texture were like the best comfort food you can imagine.

[@originaltravelz]

Awesome video! We'll definitely check out that poutine place when we're in Montreal next week!

[@BrunchBoys]

thanks!!

[@Freedom_Fighter72]

Coming to Montreal in August for one week, with my nephew for his " before senior year trip" ...hoping to try at least one of your recommendations

Thank you my good sir, I will be going to all these places this week

[@BrunchBoys]

love it!

[@JeffreyMota]

Banquise lol seriously... you could of went across the street to poule mouillé and got an even better poutine there

[@rickmayabolis]

Banquise pronounciation... Bank + Keys bankkeys There's also Ma Poule Mouille nearby that has really great spicy Portuguese chicken I also wanna mention St Viateur Cafe by the same owners that has bfast and bagel sandwiches with the same lovely bagels. Also Yokato Yokabai the best Ramen in the city with their made in house noodles and L Anecdote a quaint ma and pa time warp greasy spoon with great bugers all within 10 minutes of the Banquise

[@BrunchBoys]

thanks!

[@buskologie-portraitsdartis5603]

Unfortunately L'Anecdote didn't survive COVID and is closed now :(

[@rickmayabolis]

@@buskologie-portraitsdartis5603 dammit. my go to burger places are pretty much gone around LaFontaine.

[@Qymar12]

@@BrunchBoys actually I'd like to amend what @rickmayabolis said your beginning pronunciation of ban- is correct, the rest is keys. SO it sounds like something like bawn-keys where the "n" is not pronounced. In other words, think of the expression or onomatopoeia "awn" is sometimes written as "aww" in English as well because we don't really pronounce the "n". So b-"awn"-keys or bawn-keys. In other words it would not be pronounced like "pawn" where the "n" is pronounced, but rather, "awn" with a b in front. And then finish the words with keys like the thing that unlocks your doors.

[@BrunchBoys]

@@Qymar12 ah thank you!!

[@Dream_more_age_less]

Crazy that you featured Wilensky's, I lived on the corner of Clark, on the 2nd floor, facing Wilensky's and St. Viateur bagel for two years..Those were the days!

Fairmounr Bagel is next to Wilensky's

[@Dream_more_age_less]

im watching this while starving

[@sheilaj5818]

I am salivating. Used to livein Montreal, now Vancouver. Hate the food here. miss Monteal food.

[@djyanno]

La Banquise, for me, is a tourist trap. I am not saying it's not good, it's just overrated. Barely any cheese in it, I always need to ask 2 or 3 extra cheese and most of the times they dont layer the extras, they just put them on top. I'd much rather go to Paul Patates or Paulo and Suzanne. They are not cheap on the cheese. Anyway, much like Schwartz, tourists can keep filling La Banquise, means no waiting time in better places.

[@matchachachoco8948]

Hi I will be traveling to Montreal this may, I'll definitely check out your recommendation for the poutine, would you have any recommendation for the smoked meat, bagel, croissant, and smoke salmon?

[@djyanno]

@@matchachachoco8948 Hi. For the Smoked Meat I would suggest Lester's in Outremont, Deli Snowdon or Smoke Meat Pete (if you have a car for Pete). You might like to know that though Smoke Pete is further away, it is an amazing restaurant that often features blues bands. Had an awesome time there. On Bagels you cannot go wrong with either Fairmount or St-Viateur (I have a preference for St-Viateur though). You might want to checl Bagel St-Lo in Verdun. For croissants, I like Kouign Amann on Mont_royal (You might want to try their eponymous treat), Brioche a Tete and Patisserie Rhubarbe as well. You can't go wrong. For smoked salmon, sorry can't help. But my favorite fish market is Poissonnerie La Mer. They do have a good smoked salmon. The best? No idea so don't take my word for it.

[@matchachachoco8948]

@@djyanno thank you so much for your recommendation I'll definitely go check out these places

[@djyanno]

@@matchachachoco8948 You are very welcome

[@etow8034]

The little greasy spoons in the St-Henri district is where you can still find authentic Quebecois staples like frites-sauce and pea soup for under $10.

[@xavierpaquin]

That apple fritter looks insane

[@Vinzaf]

While I can't say we can challenge Montreal - because good god this looks so good - I still hope to see you in Newfoundland! We have an interesting restaurant scene.

[@michelrail]

The place for bagels is Fairmount bagels, not St-Viateur bagels. You are spot on for the rest. You also needed to have some old fashion smoked meat from Dunn's or from Snowdon Deli.

[@jamesoflaherty7332]

St-Viateur > Fairmont. All day. Every day.

[@freakyflow]

We drive to Buffalo for wings ....Montreal for Dunn's Famous. Poutine with smoke meat And the best i ever in my life (50 years) Chocolate fudge cake.soft creamy unreal ...Montreal has 3 or 4 must trys 4 to 8 iconic places (doesnt not mean cheap to eat ) And i passed on a few of them just for being over the top tourist priced places ..But if you can find that hole in the wall Quebecois home cooked meal spots with up and coming chefs You will eat well and smile Hearty foods with full flavors But yes you have to have a Wilinskys to be a Montrealer

I'm assuming that nothing else will be eaten on the same day as that apple fritter! My God! The're got to be at least 2,500 calories in that thing! Sure looks good, though!

[@monah5532]

These were great, but letting people know here in Montreal we also have excellent healthy and also vegan food. Terroire cuisine (locally grown and produced) is a big part of our culture.

[@makblak9703]

Thank you, will look that up! I was just thinking about if there were healthy places my family and friends can go to. Cool suggestions tho, will go to St. Viateur for sure!

[@ryanb3908]

Vegetables are poison and terrible for you. Best to stick to the carnivore diet like we are meant to eat. 👍

[@anasibndawood6696]

That’s also great, but I would say we prefer hearty, rich foods, and especially meat, they’re trying to take away the most essential, nutrients human beings need and lived on for ages, but rather fear us genetically engineered,cattle and animals in general, which is what they are planning

[@monah5532]

@@anasibndawood6696 Not to burst your bubble, but domesticated animals are genetically modified. They have been bred over centuries to be dependent on humans, docile and produce extra meat. Our pre-agrarian, hunter ancestors would not recognize domestic cattle, pigs, sheep or goats. They would have also foraged heavily for shoots, roots, berries, nuts, snails, frogs and insects such as grasshoppers and locusts as well as beetle grubs. Hunting large game is much harder and more dangerous than hunting rodents and hamrless lizards and snakes. They would likely have also scavenged carcasses left by other predators, and eaten the placenta after a woman gave birth. Our more recent ancestors likely also ate far less meat, simply because they had fewer ways to preserve it and it is very expensive to produce (you have to wait a long time for your steer to become a young adult, but it's eating constantly, so you have to choose how much food to grow for constant food source or waiting until butchering time) if you have only small tracts of land. Few people were large land oners. I say this as the daughter of generations of farmers in Germany and Hungary.

[@Suziescube]

You should try the poutine at le fou de la patate in Waterloo on foster street...just in front of our big store Dolorama.....one of the BEST....belive me👍😋😋😋

Montreal bagels are my preference. I am actually not a big fan of NY style. Too doughy for me. I like the crunch of a Montreal style. Its funny but I would describe the ones I've had being brioche like but they certainly are good.

Montreal is an amazing town, And there's no shortage of amazing towns to visit. Im excited to visit Schwartz deli, Do their dripping sandwiches taste good? 😍

As a Montrealer, this is the most generic list you can come up with. This is just the top 5 easy search google results. Look at Schwartz smoke meat, and poutine can be had anywhere and it's solid. Orange Julep is super overrated. It was cool on Wednesdays when they held the classic car shows in the summer, but the food was never an attraction. Rueben's is also good. A solid (expensive) steakhouse is Moishes.
