Hi Tom & Mike I so enjoyed seeing your city through your vlog. The Old Port of Montreal truly is dreamy. I wanted to share with you that last weekend we went back up to Mont Tremblant for the weekend. When we arrived, I told my husband that we had to check out the new restaurant Cheesus. I told him Tom and Mike recommended it so we had to check out... and loved the grill cheese. Thank you again for your beautiful vlog... love your recommendations. xoxo

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

Hi Gioia! We really love wandering through Old Montreal in the summer. That's so nice to hear that you enjoyed the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches at Cheesus. We're always so happy to hear when someone checks out one of the places that we recommend, and that they enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching :)

We love spending time in Montreal! There is always something to do, whether it's music festivals, comedy shows, walking streets or of course, the fabulous food. The architecture is also pretty spectacular. It's a great place to spend some time...especially in the summer. Thank you for watching Simon :)

Hello! Great video!! I’m traveling there during the winter and staying in the Old Montreal neighborhood. How would you describe Old Montreal in the winter??

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

We haven’t been in Montreal during the winter months, but it can get very cold there with lots of snow! Old Montreal will certainly be less busy and some of the restaurants may not be open. We hope you have pleasant weather while you’re there, and are able to enjoy Montreal’s wonderful atmosphere. Thank you for watching :)

Beautiful video! I plan on visiting next month, may I ask what is the weather usually like in April? And which areas to explore as a first time visitor ?

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

Hi Julie, thanks for watching. We haven't been in Montreal in April, but I think it could be cold at times. We would recommend going to Old Montreal/Old Port area and Le Plateau. Both areas are quite beautiful. Hope you enjoy your time there :)

[@fares-please]

A very comprehensive video and guide to old Montreal. Full of historical facts and great tips and places to eat. That cafe with the grand ceilings looked stunning! It’s such a beautiful city, especially in the summer. Feels like you’ve been transported to Europe 😃. Great job guys! Keep up the amazing work.

[@fares-please]

Btw that pizza slice looked great for only $5!

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

Hi guys, thanks for watching! We do love wandering the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal in the summer time, and of course, grabbing a bite to eat or a cold drink :) Crew Collective Cafe is such a great place to grab a coffee and something to eat, just so you can soak in the grandness of the old banking hall.

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

Slice and Soda always seems to be busy and their pizzas are huge!

[@travelgreatvacations]

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? 😍

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

We love exploring Montreal! It's an exciting city with lots of great food and cultural events. The sandwiches from Schwartz's Deli are amazing, and there is always a long lineup outside their restaurant. I'm sure you will enjoy it :)

Où se trouve la station de métro Beaubien à Montréal ?

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

We always use google maps, but I think it's up in Little Italy. Thanks for watching:)

where is the best hotel to stay there

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

Hello Maya, thanks for watching! We've never stayed in a hotel in Old Montreal, so we're not really able to recommend one. We have stayed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel and we enjoyed it, but it is a about a 15 minute walk to Old Montreal. Cheers :)

Montreal is a wonderful city and would be best to leave Quebec if possible. The Quebec politicians are giving Quebec a bad name a it discourages people from visiting Montreal.

We really enjoyed our time in Montreal, but we agree with you about the political situation! Thanks for watching :)
