Always nice for a Montréalais to see his city through the eyes of visitors. I hope you ate well, since your choices of restaurants and cafés were very interesting. I love the Damas! Hope you will be back, since there is still a lot to see: Little Italy, le Plateau, Museums and Quartier des spectacles, if your trip coincides with the Jazz Festival or any of many music festivals...

Enjoy your trip! My only "unsolicited" advice is to get out of the tourist area into the neighborhoods. See how the locals live. If you happen to create a video, please send the link in the comments of this video..

Glad you picked up on that comment. It was my attempt at humor from someone who was never taught to speak French. Regrettably, as a native to Florida, I speak, "American." I'm not proud of the fact that most Americans only speak one language, in fact, it's rather embarrassing. I was so impressed by those we met in Montreal who would switch between French and English so easily. Clearly that's the result of having a well-funded education system to teach students a second language at an early age..

You'r right as long as you stay in Montréal. In large cities outside the province of Québec the majority of people don't understand nor speak any french. We do have second language from a young age (everywhere in Canada) but in my opinion the reason that french people in Montréal also speak a fairly good english is most du to the fact that we are surrounded by english culture. @@jgtoll

Thanks for your comment. It's a beautiful city, Not sure I would have liked it as much in the dark of winter. The fact that I'm a native of Orlando, FL makes me truly appreciate the differences between the two places, and there are MANY differences. I'd like to return for Formula 1 in the future. I heard the city comes alive during that time.

There are so many beautiful churches in Montréal. The big trilogy is: oratory Saint-Joseph, basilic Notre-Dame, and cathedral Marie Reine du Monde. Social mentions to Saint James United on Sainte-Carherine street, which used to be literally encased into commercial buildings, and was nicely "liberated" in the early 2000s. It's beautiful. And also the iconic byzantine styled Saint-Michel-Archange church in the vibrant Mile End area.

Thanks for your correction. The result of my education from the state of Florida is that I only speak one language, American. I'm not proud of that fact, in fact I'm quite sensitive to it. I did my best to greet most everyone I met with a friendly, "Bonjour" or whatever was appropriate for that moment. The response was always a friendly smile then the conversation continued in English. I was so impressed with the city of Montreal and it's citizens!

Your effort to greet people in "Bonjour" everywhere in Montreal is praiseworthy. Just a few statistics for you. As of present, the English-speaking population in the Greater Montreal area (Montreal Island and beyond) is a little over 1 million. So yes, Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city in the Western world after Paris, but there is a lot of English-speaking people in Quebec (and this population is diverse, many of them speak French to varying degrees of fluency, many others hardly at all). There are many people who have lived in Montreal their whole lives and don't really know any French. That's just the reality.@@jgtoll
