So covids def changed the place, but I'm rooting for it... But I love Montreal, QC. I know Quebec gets hate for being rude to non French speakers but I've genuinely only had one bad experience and it was a McDonald's outside Montreal.... But the food is great, they have a lot to do both indoor and outdoor activities (see edit) and it helps coming from the states my money is worth a bit more. Man... It's been too long... I wanna go back.
edit - my favorite things to do is the tam tams, frites alors (hands down my favie resturant), there's a lot of beautiful cathedrals.... the aboritory is awesome. all the 'lil x towns' are legit too... man... i need to go back. i recommend going during the jazz fest if you can afford it.
Went to Montreal for a long weekend in 2005 and had so much fun! I love it there and would like to go back.
I was in Montreal for the eclipse, I'm sure it was a very busy tourist weekend and they were ready for the influx of us English speakers coming to town, but I didn't have any issues anywhere.
It was probably my favorite city I've ever visited. Everything we ate was amazing, even when we just stopped into some random hole in the wall Chinese takeout place for a quick bite.
Public transit blew anything I've ever experienced in the states clean out of the water. I was also kind of in awe at how bikeable the city was.
There's not many cities I've visited that I'm itching to go back to, but I'm definitely planning to go back sometime.
Montreal is getting the new REM. Plus, Montreal isn't that rude. I just think Midwesterners love to complain.
