Advantages: Historical city, lots to see and do, decent prices, fascinating history Disadvantages: See history
Montrealers being in some way bilingual, the language issues have decreased and some Anglophones have returned. But to the visitor, Bill 101 has some interesting consequences worth a closer look at. Signs have to be in French and the letters in English are much smaller. Apparently the language police can be quite enthusiastic in enforcing this, and I've heard of a story where a restaurant which had the handwritten sign "push" on a toilet door only seen by the Anglophone staff were fined and forced to change it to "poussée" (or at least make this a larger sign). So you see "Café Starbucks Coffee" for example. My personal favourite is that the Kentucky Fried Chicken signs aren't labelled KFC but PFK - Poulet Frit Kentucky. You will also see some signs for hot dog outlets labelled "chien-chaud". Monsieur Montreal tells me Chien-Chaud Victoire on Rue ...
Advantages: Superb smoked meat, genuine Montreal experience Disadvantages: Not for vegetarians!
INTRODUCTION
This review has been a long time coming. Montreal is one of my favourite North American cities, and on this, my fourth visit there, I finally have the pleasure of reviewing the legendary Schwartz's Deli. Lying to the east of the centre of the city, this place is something of a Montreal institution, and is mentioned in every guidebook I have ever read as THE place to go for smoked meat. I always make a point of going there when in Montreal.
The first time I ever went there, following my guidebook and entering on my own, I was a bit worried as to what the meat actually was, as I don't eat pork. I really should have taken note that this was a Hebrew deli, which would have allayed any fears. When I was meekly ordering a takeaway turkey sandwich, the old chap serving me clocked me as a British tourist and said "I bet ...
Advantages: Lots to see, great tower Disadvantages: Some parts very shabby, tour not long enough
The olympic stadium was high on our list of priorities when we went to Montreal as it seems to be my boyfriend's ambition to visit every olympic stadium ever built - much to my dismay! But it turned out to be well worth a look.
HISTORY:
Montreal was awarded the the olympics by the IOC in 1970. Representatives travelled to Munich in 1972 to see how they managed the games. The construction of the site began in 1973 and the games were held 3 years later in 1976. Not all of the complex was finished for the games. The tower was not completely finished until 1987.
After the Olympics the stadium became home to the Montreal baseball team (until they moved to Washington D.C.). It now holds various sporting events and trade shows. The swimming pool complex is now used by the public and the velodrome is now home to a biodome which house 4 ...
