First off the brutal winters you refer to are also enchanting, magical, and refreshing!

[SurnaturalM]

I lived in Russia, Ekaterinburg and Cheliabinsk and it was colder, but in Montréal, with the humidity, it feel like the cold have a personal grudge against you.

[Sergesouszero]

Nathan, your pronunciation of french names is perfect! 👍

[jdbankshot]

that gigantic mural of leonard cohen is incredible! @14:45

[PauldiTomasso]

Well done and I say that as someone who has lived in Montreal all my life! One correction though, Wilensky's does not serve smoked meat, they serve bologna sandwhiches which are delicious!

[philippek]

Thank you for showcasing the amazing parts of our city and culture ! Hope you had an amazing time in Montréal :)

[Biscuits]

Glad you enjoyed yourselves in the city I call home. It has so much to offer, good on you for exploring so much! you must've been exhausted. Thank you for all the kind words and for sharing your experience with the world

[detourvoyage]

As a former Montrealer, this is an excellent summary of the ideal places to visit in the city.
Best time to visit is indeed during summer because Montreal in winter can get rough.

Wow what a cool city and your video was outstanding! I lived in Michigan for 25+ years and never made it to Montreal however you’ve definitely given me a reason to go visit now. Thanks guys for another epic vid. Love y’all and safe travels 😊

[peterdaigle]

Montreal is fantastic! My wife and i did a Wednesday to Monday F1 trip last year (our first race) and absolutely loved it. Transportation is near perfect, food & beverage always top shelf and always involves a visit to Schwartz's.
We live in Nova Scotia, so it's only an hour and a half flight for us. Definitely has a European vibe. Never a disappointment

[pierre-huguesdorais]

Merci pour la belle image de ma ville 😊

[tonystark]

Montreal is a amazing city, in the summer time !

[juanbohorquez]

Montreal summers are the best...my favorites are Jazz Festival and Mount-Royal park

[razzinsky]

You did us all justice you two lovely folks. Cheers! By the end of the vid, realized I actually do love my city even with all the usual strife's we have living in any metropolis. Appreciate you both and kudos. I might just take another proper bixi ride this coming summer.

[OnnSight]

as someone who lives in Montréal i really appreciate the intro you did such a well resumed idea of the city in the summer 😀👌

[walkingcatmom]

Such a unique perspective on this destination. You made it feel so special! 🏛✨

[DavidSimon-en]

[TimothyGauen]

I really love the way you have settled into filming and editing your videos. More and more enjoyable every week. AND Montreal should be sending you a little something something for this video... really makes me want to go.

Wilensky’s smoked meat?!!!

We are famous for our “Wilensky's Special®”. Invented by Moe Wilensky, its beauty is in its simplicity: all-beef salami with all-beef baloney grilled to mouth-watering perfection on a tasty roll with a hint of mustard. And it’s served piping hot and lightning fast!
