Montreal native here. I've been eating at many of these establishments for over 50 years. While some of these are clearly aimed at tourists, many of them are very much local establishments built on the patronage of their neighbourhood. Some of my most precious romantic memories are associated with some of these restaurants.
Know too that the list presented in this video, while certainly touching on many of the highlights, is by no means exhaustive. Montreal is an epicurean population and no restaurant will last long here if its standards are not high. Here, you are highly unlikely to be disappointed if you simply walk into any of the great many quirky local establishments.
Montreal is a dream destination for anyone who is looking to be amazed by the incredible number of restaurants, cafes and eateries, with such wonderful and delicious food options! We still have a very long list of places that we would love to try, and we hope to get back there again some day soon to continue eating our way around the city.
Thank you very much for watching, and for your great comment :)
Tom and Mike.
Thank you for your insight...my nephew and I are visiting the first week of August....we are so excited!! I'm even trying to learn French on a language app....wish me luck 🙃

Montreal is a foodie's paradise for sure! We're looking forward to heading back there in May and trying some new places...can't wait. Thanks for watching guys :)

I love the outdoor dining areas...⬆️😄😃🥦🥬↕️😊😄🥿👟
We love being able to dine on the patios and terraces in the good weather. Montreal has such beautiful places and fabulous food to go along with it. Thanks for watching :)
OUF! I am full just watching your gastronomical tour of my city! And as though I knew many of these great spots, I discovered some new ones also. Do come back soon, as new places open every month in our fabulous Montréal! À bientôt!
Glad you enjoyed the tour! We ate a lot of food lol, but it was during 6 months, so it was spread out over time. We love Montreal, and enjoy being here :) Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed this video!!! Slow and esay english, good for me!!! I loved every meal 🤩
Thank you Silvia for watching and for your kind words! We really loved every meal. Montreal has some great restaurants :)
This was such a mouth-watering video. Everything looked delicious ! Thank you so much for showcasing some wonderful dishes/les plats. I plan to try some when I return to Montreal.
Thank you for watching, and for commenting, we really appreciate it! Montreal is a food lovers paradise, there are so many great places to eat. Cheers :)
My first time to watch "Take time to Travel". Very well made. Enjoy it very much. Thanks. I for sure will go visiting Montreal someday.
Thank you for watching, and for your very kind words, we really appreciate it! Hopefully, you will be able to visit Montreal someday soon :)
Hello Tom and Mike- my husband and I stumbled upon your video in preparation for our 25th anniversary trip to Montreal. We made notes as we listened. We have only deviated from your recs once and had a terrible meal so when we did. Thanks so much for your expertise. We’ve had a great time in large part due to your restaurant recommendations. We have two more days left and just made reservations for Les duex gamin for tmw! Unfortunately, L’express is full- was so looking forward to the caramel dessert. Maybe next time! Again, thank you so much!
Wow, that is so nice to hear! We always enjoy hearing that people have watched our videos, and have liked some of our recommendations. We hope you have fun on your last two days, and that you like Les Deux Gamins. L'express can be difficult to get a reservation at. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words, we really appreciate it. Happy Anniversary :)
Tom and Mike.
I just had a really good time and you guys are so sweet
Thank you for watching, and for your kind words, we really appreciate it! Cheers :)
That first place reminded me of this place I went to in New Orleans. Where they have the backyard patio atmosphere, we don't really have any of that stuff in Windsor. You guys are always eating what looks to be the best foods!
The patio at Jardin Nelson is our favourite, and I think we there 4 times last year. It really has a laid back feeling and we enjoy the jazz music while we're eating. We're looking forward to getting back to Montreal soon :)
Omg I have to go back there it has been way too long. Thank you guys. How do you stay so fit with all that delicious food!!!
Well, if you're planning to go to Montreal in the summer, be sure to let us know as we'll be heading there in May for 6 months and would love to meet you. We try and walk at least 10 km every day, which helps to keep some pounds off, and Montreal has a lot of hills lol. Thanks for watching :)
Oh my, that smoked meat poutine! Great video, we will keep this restaurant guide handy for when we head north.
The poutine at La Banquise is excellent. We really could have just split one between us, but we wanted to try both choices lol. Thanks for watching :)
Heading to Montreal next week. Fabulous guide. Thanks guys 🤟
Hope you enjoy your time in Montreal! It's such a great city with lots going on, and of course, fabulous food. Cheers :)
Such a great choice of restaurants. To suit every budget..
My stomach is rumbling. Time for breakfast.
Catch you on the next one.. X
Montreal is such a beautiful city and has some excellent restaurants! We're looking forward to getting back there in the spring and exploring some more places. Thanks for watching :)
The two of you are adorable. My husband and I will visit Montreal for one week in early August and I personally adore your video's! I am looking for a spot to share our wedding anniversary (09 August) together ..
Thank you so much for watching, and for your very kind words, we really appreciate it! We hope you have a wonderful time in Montreal, and we wish you a happy anniversary, in advance. Cheers :)
Excellent video - very informative and well done!!!!
Thank you for your kind words, and for watching, we really appreciate it :)
We ordered the same dessert at l’express last year. Def the most interesting looking dessert I ever had
That dessert was definitely a highlight of our meal! We went back again with friends, mainly to have it again haha. Thanks for watching :)
Awesome video! Thank you for all the tips. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Hi Heidy! Thank you so much for watching the video, we really appreciate it. Montreal is a foodie's paradise :)
Just finished dinner at Jardin Nelson, thanks for the info, it was great. HINT:. It opens at 5:00 weekdays. We were about the 19th couple in line arriving about 4:53. Go seated quickly and within 15 minutes the rear garden was PACKED. Food drinks and service great though a little slow. Had liver pate, salmon poke bowl and seafood crepes. All great!
That's great to hear that you enjoyed Jardin Nelson! It does get long lines during the summer months, and it's good to hear it's still busy. It's our favourite restaurant terrasse and we'll have to get back there soon before they close for the winter. Thanks for watching and for your comment :)
This is a great video, I will be traveling there this summer.
Thank you! Montreal is a great city, so we're sure you'll have an amazing time. We can't wait to get back there, ourselves. Thanks for watching :)
Very nice video, thank you for the info. The Jardin Nelson restaurant looks sublime🤩. L' express looks like a Parisian bistro 👍
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! We love Jardin Nelson and I think we went there about 4 times last year lol. L'Express is quite lovely, but can be difficult to get reservations for a table. The dessert at L'Express was definitely our favourite :)
Muy bueno, excelente, felicitaciones, desdé Lima, Perú
¡Gracias por mirar, realmente lo apreciamos!
You guys make me hungry .next time i know where to go and get a good foods 👍😃
Montreal has some wonderful food! Haha, we do love to eat and we really enjoying checking out the restaurants here. Thanks for watching :)
I hope you can do a video about the best quiches in Montreal!
Thank you for watching! We'll keep that in mind the next time we're in Montreal. Cheers :)
Oh my gosh... those poutines are huge!! LOL Great video guys!!
Yea they were massive and delicious! We probably could've just split one of them, and still not finished! Thanks for watching! :)
Awesome video guys. My wife said a number of times to stop it your making her hungry.🤣
When we were putting together this video, we were saying how anxious we are to get back to Montreal this spring and start finding some more great food. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks, great video!
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
Loved your video! Reminded me how nice Montreal is during summer and of all the great restaurants, some of which I will be trying for the first time. Everything you had to eat looked so appetizing. We had dinner at L'Express tonight and while there I pictured you digging into that huge yummy-looking dessert. We were too full for anything else after what we had to eat tonight, but may try it next time. :)
L'Express is such a great restaurant and we are looking forward to heading back there for a meal, and of course, that dessert!
Hey guys great video, Just wondering how is Tom is doing? Kinda been behind on my viewing has we are in the Dominican so not much time on the computer lol. Hope all is good, we are heading back to Canada end of March and think a road trip to Montreal is due after watching this video lol. Has always wish you all the best from Donna and Steve.
Hi Donna and Steve, the Dominican must be wonderful! Tom just finished his last radiation treatment on Wednesday, and is feeling good. We went out for dinner that night to celebrate. We'll be heading back to Montreal in May to spend the summer and we're really looking forward to that. If you make it to Montreal, maybe we can meet for a coffee. Cheers :)
Hello. Can you please share what the typical weather in April like? Thanks for sharing your trips :) it's very helpful!
We haven't spent much time in Montreal in the month of April, but it can be quite cold. We googled it and the average high temperature in April is about 9 degrees Celsius. Thank you for watching, and for your kind words, we really appreciate it :)
Awesome video guys👍🏼
Thank you for watching, and for your kind words, we really appreciate it :)
@@TakeTimeToTravel You're welcome. I'll be visiting Montreal in July and will definitely try out a few of these restaurants👌🏼
@@kmod73 Montreal is such a fun city, especially in the summer! Hope you have a great time :)
Well done video!
Thank you for watching :)
Jardin Nelson wow amazing.
Montreal has such an amazing selection of restaurants, but Jardin Nelson is definitely our favourite! Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it :)
Great video. 🫶🏾😎🎉
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words, we really appreciate it :)
At 23:00, beside ''The Lotus Bleu'', it's a nice big place, ''Restaurant Impérial''. I like that a lot. But the tables are just for family with kids because for 2 lover, they can't tuch the hand of each other. At 23:13, the women wait for her boy friend, he call a taxi for go with her at another restaurant!
We really loved the food at Imperial, but I think they have moved to a different location now. Thanks for watching :)
Love your video..
Next time please put the names of the establishment, i had a hard time to pause and replay ing the video just to catch the names of the restaurant.. specially some are in french 🤦😆
Hi Liam, thank you for watching! Sorry about that, we usually try to show the front of the restaurant with the name of the place, so that everyone can see what we're saying. If there are any that you missed, please feel free to ask us, and we'll be happy to give you the name. Thanks again :)
We'll be there soon, any tips on where to go as a vegetarian in Old Montreal?
I think most of the restaurants we went to in the video have vegetarian options. You might also try Maison Christian Faure bakery for some really tasty treats. We've heard that Olive and Gourmando is also very good, although we haven't tried it. Thanks for watching :)
La Banquise...... It makes me sad. Big tourist trap. They barely have any cheese. For me, a good poutine si when you are about to finish, you still have cheese. At La Banquise it's impossible, becaus ethe cheese is all eaten after the few first bites. And when we ask extra cheese, they just put it on top instead of layering it. The hype for this place is baffling me and most of the Montrealers I know.
And Schwartz??? Now I am even sadder for you guys.... Wish I could have talk to you beforehand... In Chinatown, may I suggest Dobe and Andy for their BBQ pork and duck?
Besides that, I love your video and you made me discover a few spots I did not know.
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
Thank you for your videos on Montreal. My husband and and I will be traveling there this summer. I have been busily scouring menus for acceptable restaurants for my vegetarian husband. 😀 What is your take on the Orange Julep?
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it. Not too sure about Orange Julep, we haven't tried it. I would think there are lots of vegetarian restaurants in the city, and most other restaurants will have vegetarian options. We hope you have a great time in Montreal this summer, it truly is a great city :)
@@TakeTimeToTravel Thank you for taking the time to answer me! If we every cross paths, my husband and I would love to buy you two dinner! :)
@@jackier.6651 Make sure to say hello if you ever see us, it would make our day!
Surely you boys gained a few pounds this trip... wow!
Haha, well it's always a battle of the bulge, so it's a good thing we do a lot of walking. We did all those restaurants over a 6 month period, but it was still a ton of food lol. Can't wait to get back to Montreal :)
Toms like me. I love fish as well
Yes, I could eat fish every day and not get tired of it lol. Thanks for watching :)
Wow !!!!!
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
40 like. It’s fun video 🤩🌹
Thank you for your kind words and for watching, we really appreciate it Veronika :)
Looks to me you guys forgot Le Pied de Cochon.
We have tried to go there a few times, but we were never able to get a reservation. Our friends have also tried and were unable to get a table for all of us to go. It does seem to be very popular, and hopefully we will get there some day. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it :)
No they didn’t
Nice, but how do you guys stay thin?
Well, we were in Montreal for 6 months, so we didn't eat it all at once lol. We also try and walk at least 10 to 15 kilometres per day, which helps. Thank you for watching :)
Where did you guys get the poutine from??
Hi Nathalie, we got a poutine from Schwartz's Deli and also had two poutines at La Banquise. If it's just for poutine, La Banquise has a great selection of different types. Thank you for watching :)
@@TakeTimeToTravel thank you!!
what automated voice did you use, almost sounds human like. but could tell its robotic.
Thanks for watching! We had a great laugh at your comment. Cheers :)
I cannot believe how expensive the restaurants are now in Montreal.
It's certainly not cheap! Although, Montreal does have some amazing restaurants :)
@@TakeTimeToTravel indeed! I lived there for 38 years now I am in Mexico
Are these prices in Canadian dollars?
Yes, all prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD). Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
@@TakeTimeToTravel It's nice to see prices just in CAD. Often Canadian youtubers will post both CAD and USD for videos shot in Canada. It irks me when some American youtubers only post USD when shooting in Canada or any other non American country for that matter.
@@skatingcanuck9837 We always include the prices in the local currency, wherever we are, and the conversion into CAD. I think it helps people get an idea of what to expect when they visit. Cheers :)
Tacky
Thanks for watching.
Holy Molllllly 14$ for A bagel !
True! Thanks for watching :)
@@TakeTimeToTravel absolutely !! Thanks for showing Montreal
You totally missed Coronelli's in Little Italy.
The entire Mille End.
(Leméac, Chez Levesque, Fairmount and St Viateur Bagel, LeChien Fumant).
Plateau.
LE Nil Bleu, India Rosa, LE Colibri Rouge.
Romandos.
Patati Patata.
Sanos Bakery.
Thanks for the recommendations, we'll have to give them a try. We did have St. Viateur, which is in the video. Romados was always closed when we went, I think they were doing renovations. We tried Patati Patata and it wasn't that good. We went to Fairmount Bagel but didn't have the camera with us that day. We'll just have to keep eating until we get to them all lol. Thanks for watching :)
Soon as a saw slide and soda I closed the video..
Thanks for watching :)
I gained 10 pounds just to watch this video.
Haha, yes it's very easy to gain some extra pounds with all of the great places to eat in Montreal! We try and walk at least 10 or 15 kilometres a day, which helps to burn off some of the extra calories. Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
crepes 2 go closed
That's to bad that it's closed, we never got a chance to try it. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it :)
le darling is scrap
Thanks for watching!
Sorry boys the tone of delivery made me click off the video right away. You need to be more relaxed and less of a Tv host voice that's soo exaggerated.Just being honest take it how ever you like.
To all tourists coming to Montreal. Stay away from fancy restaurants in Old Montreal, on Notre-Dame Street, on St.Laurent Blvd, especially in Little Italy, and Marche Jean-Talon. These places are all ripoff joints, unless you enjoy being ripped-off. And stay away from the Casino, unless your a degenerate gambler. Capeesh!
Thanks for watching.
Guys!!!! Those videos are disgusting. My God, wipe your mouth!!! Also, it’s Le Plateau “Mont Royal”, not “Montreal”. That desert you had at Bonaparte, is a Ma”ca”Ron, not a Ma”cr”on. And Nouilles is pronounced nooy, not nooeel. By the way, you guys eat way too much meat. On a lighter note, hope you walked around some ‘cause thats a lot of calories.
Thanks for watching!
Awful choices… from a West Island inhabitant of Montreal!
Thanks Edna (Karen), looking forward to seeing your video on the best restaurants in Montreal!
@@TakeTimeToTravel Far from being a Karen, I am a young grandmother of 6, with exquisite taste. I also cook extremely well. If you don’t like being criticized don’t talk rubbish.We have outstanding Italian,Portuguese,Spanish,French,
Chinese,Japanese,Swiss restaurants,plus the Ritz & other high end hotels serving exquisite food!
@@ednaturner307 Well from your 3 negative comments, it is pretty clear that you are a very unhappy person (that's the most negative comments we've received from 1 person). Hope your life improves enough so that you don't try to pick internet arguments with strangers. BTW we went to Maison Boulud at the Ritz and we did not include it in our video because we did not think it was that good. Hope you feel better soon!
@@TakeTimeToTravel I am a very happy and joyful person with a tremendous sense of humour. Insulting me because I pointed out that your choices of eateries are ridiculous is not the way to go.
@@TakeTimeToTravel you’re the ones who picked internet arguments with a stranger. If you publicly post something and WOW mediocre low class eateries in a fabulous fine dining city like Montreal, you should not be so thin skinned and accept well deserved criticism, and NOT argue, but learn from them. BTW all anyone has to do to find suitable restaurants is GOOGLE!
👎🏼
As local I mostly have to eat from dumpsters because well I'm an anglophone Canadian and the English Canadians here get no jobs!
We hope things get better for you!
