The Official Montreal 11/10 Meetup/Review Thread

[Nitro Express]

You would like Spago's. Wolfgang Puck studied the culinary arts in France and Italy. He combines both and puts a California flair on it. The thing with California is you can get good seafood, meat, vegitables, and fruits.

Some of the best food I have ever had was just in run of the mill places in Italy. Mom and pop owned places. That's one place I would like to go back to. I could spend months just in Italy alone.

We have this very old Jewish bakery (specialized in Bagles) that is a well known establishment here. It's called Bagel St-Viateur". Same kinds of bagels as the N-Y ones, plus, they still twist them by hand daily!

MMMmmmmmm.....!!!!!!
:p

Yeah I know. Montreal is famouse for it's bagels. The New Yorkers always told me they were different but I'm sure it's a rival thing talking. That was my breakfast when I was at Syracuse University. A bagel loaded up with cream cheese and smoked salmon.

I've been... very good but overated. To us, it was just a good restaurant, nothing more.
We're very picky!

We have a Four Seasons now so we are finding culture. LOL! There they charge you five times as much and garnish the bison and balls and call it Wyoming bison and Rocky Mountain Oysters. It won't be as good as the Nasty Norah Buffalo and Balls special.

Also for the "Smoked Meat"...
Little sandwich filled with this Kosher thin meat (I don't know what it is) but apparently, it's great confort food.

Have you heard of "Poutine"?





No joke, I gotta grab a bite and go back to bed...
Good night!

[Nitro Express]

Poutine? I think so. That's that potato and meat gulash stuff you guys live off of right? The real lumberjack meal. LOL!

Hope you find something good in the fridge! I want a Philly steak sandwich right now.

I love French cusine. I even drive 200 miles to take my wife to my favorite French resturant. Max has ate there. It's as good as any place I've eaten at in San Fransisco.

I love French pastries too. Our nextdoor neighbor's wife is from Nice and she makes pastries but she can't get the right kind of sugar and flour here.

Much like Chinese food. Getting the ingrediants is the big battle. The same with French food.

So I imagine you guys have all that in Montreal.

French culture from France is completely different from French culture from Quebec. Just as New Orleans French is also different from the above two.

Montreal IS Canada's party place... absolutely no comparison with Toronto!
Plus, Dave LOVES the French Babes (so he said)... I hope he's gonna be as excited as he was in 84!

It wont be much of a Party town in the future if the language police dont stop cramming french down everybody's throat.

Its a party town because of its multi-cultural aspect.

History check, dear...
Language has absolutely nothing to do with all that, in fact, it really does attract the tourists you know...

Montreal has been a party place since the alchool prohibition in the States. It all started with a black market of booze, a bunch of hoes and a huge tolerence (and cooperation) from the police.

The Italian Mafia families are the only immigrants that contributed to make this town a party one. The other immigrants arrived much later and came here mostly... for the French language!
And all the other goodies...



I agree with you though... for many other reasons (that I won't discuss in this "Main" forum)... the French Police has to go!
