We walked around the city. We ate food.
Orange Julep is an iconic giant orange orb along the highway, with hot dogs, creamy orange drinks and fries for takeaway. We stayed in Old Montreal for ease of travel, but usually stay in the Plateau Mont Royal area. For dinner the first night, we went to Garde Manger, a Chuck Hughes restaurant. You'll never guess what I paid for a pasta dish.
I like a light breakfast so we went to Olive + Gourmando for croissants and whipped sweet ricotta served with toasty brioche. Walked around places like the Old Port of Montreal, trying to avoid tourists, and finding a few things to do for free. You can find a bunch of lunch options in one place at the Time Out Market; it's easily accessible by Metro.
Montreal Plaza was a fancy tasting menu with seasonal ingredients, featuring on Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix.
St. Viateur is one of my favorite places in all of Montreal. Their bagels are boiled, then baked. People here think they’re special and so do I. Checked out the Plateau area of the city, filled with cool graffiti and local artsy stuff.
Speaking of local, we went to Jean Talon Market for a look at fresh produce, seafood, and grabbed lunch at Bouffe Moi which were vegan hot dogs; really good.
Finally we went to Nora Gray, an Italian restaurant featured as number 24 Canada's Best 100 Restaurants in 2023. Everything was really good and I was able to check out the kitchen to thank them for a great meal.
Thanks to everyone for your support so far with the youtube/travel videos. Its a learning curve for me. Still working out some technical hiccups and just being more comfortable on camera and now doing voiceovers. Appreciate everyones patience! Check out my next stop: a trip to New York City.

Ten outta ten. I’d watch the whole thing.
-
someone needs to give you a full production budget so you can keep this series going around the world
-
I went to Montreal last summer during my first visit to Canada and then again this summer for the F1 race. Both times, the food, cocktail and party scene blew my mind away! My buddy from SF who had tagged along with me was equally impressed! MTL is a gem!
-
Really love the no bullshit no filler layout.
-
I love content like this, as it rejuvenates my love for MTL. Living here, you get caught up with the bullshit and sometimes forget to appreciate the things that make it great. And the eating experience is one of those things.
-
I really enjoyed how this was edited. Very Bourdain reminiscent and I miss that.
-
I'm a stand up comedian here in Montreal and a food lover, watching you on tik tok and on youtube is like a 2 in 1 for me, love your humor no bullshit and your love of the food and people. Happy for all the good things that are happening for you.

Bourdain can never be replaced but this guy has my vote.
-
Give this man a show on TV RIGHT NOW
-
This needs a sequel! So many iconic restaurants.
-
Nice Expos lids. 10 out of 10

Being from Montreal, I never realized how good the food was here up until I started travelling. I still haven't found a place in North AND South America that can even challenge Montreal besides NYC and LA.
-
I love Montreal. I pretty much spent every weekend there in the mid 80’s. This brought back some good memories. And I agree about the bagels!
-
As a life-long New England resident within a reasonable drive of Montreal, you’ve sold me, adding it to the list 🙌🏼
-
Bouffe means food ad eat, bouffe moi means eat me. So you can bouffe de la bouffe. Your accent for Marché Jean-Talon is spot on. Next visit at Marché Jean-Talon try the fried calamari and fried fish at the seafood store… it’s super good… also Pied de cochon,obviously.

I remember going to Paris for my first time...and friends of mine living in Toronto told me that the food in PARIS will knock me out. I'm from Montreal and never realized how delicious the food tasted in Montreal until I went to Paris. I have been to Paris many times since then and Montreal is by far the best quality and tasty food in restaurants over Paris. Even a simple hot dog is prepared in 3 different ways.
-
I’m a Montrealer and you’re spot on with the food scene here! Best food in NA for sure!
-
It’s like watching a skinny Ron Swanson judge food around the world…and I’m here for it. Love your videos! Please keep going!
-
I spend half my time in Montreal and love the place. All of this video true. Jean Talon is fabulous, St. Viateur bagels are the best in the world, and the traffic sucks.
-
Your French is great! And thanks for highlighting all the great spots that Montreal has to offer!
