I already spotted a few things that I've never seen in my life before. There was some fruits here. Apples. Okay, I know apples, but what is this? Like, I have never seen this. I thought it's cherries, but it's a pint. I don't know what you make with this, how it tastes. Smells like an apple, so I have no idea. But uh anyways, we are meeting some friends here and they are going to guide us through the market, show us what's yummy, what's not and uh yeahine. >> Already loving the vibe here.

Go for this stuff. Okay, apparently these peas are also very nice. Smell test. Sorry, it's it's something that I uh you know started doing from my childhood. M look at this tomatoes. Oh my goodness. So nice. I have some nice mushrooms here as well. There also some fresh egg, different kinds. So my friends from here said this used to be a market where a lot of the immigrants would come and shop here because it was so cheap. Then it became such a hip spot that they increased prices and like the the crowd changed. So now it's like a you know very hip uh market. The produce is really good. At least the apples that I tried. Can't really complain. Okay, time for Nellie's travel hack. This time I am going to share something with you that you will benefit from for free.

So definitely a lifestyle that I can uh [laughter] adapt. Right now we are headed to thisari bonerie to get some baguette. Let's see if they have something good. [music] So one thing that I heard that I have to try when I'm in Montreal is a poutine. And I I was like it's very heavy. It looks very heavy. It has a lot of gravy. It has fries. And it's just like a lot of cheese on top. So, I really don't know what to expect, what to go for in terms of flavors. So, luckily, I have uh my boyfriend with me who grew up in Canada and he knows what a great poutine has to be. What would you say? What are the What does the quality manager say? >> Well, what does it have to >> It's all about the French fries, the sauce, and green, you know? >> Yeah. >> I mean, the the sauce, and the cheese. >> Yeah. So, just high quality ingredients. >> High quality ingredients. Homemade. Yeah. >> So, yeah. Uh we're going to a place that is called >> the Monkeys. >> All right. Let's go. >> [music] >> It's really good. Like the gravy is really good. [music] Okay. I had no idea why everybody was so crazy about poutine. And I didn't have a like proper one. This one was legit. The fries were really good. The gravy was delicious. The the cheese was just so comforting. And honestly, I just wanted to lick the the plates. It was super cheap, too. It was just like $7 US and it is open 24 hours. So, definitely a spot to try when you're in Montreal. I totally get the hype. It is viral approved. So, if you want to come, come here. It's really insane. You know, when a lot of people tell you you have to go there, it is an institution. It has been there forever. You definitely have to go. I am at Schwarz delicatessan. I'm going to try the smoked meat sandwich. I've already been here a year and a half ago and it has been absolutely amazing. This is the lineup for the smoked meat. I'm just going to take you along, have a few bites with you, and I'll see what the bus is about. [music] It smells so good. [music] Okay, we got eight spots here by the bar where everything is happening. Best spot in the house. It is super super busy. There are lots of people and a [snorts] lot of pictures frames on the wall of like famous people that came here. Food is amazing. I heard >> your favorite. >> Yeah. So, we are going to order What are we going to order? >> Smoked meat. >> Smoked meat. >> Yeah. It looks so good. I'm so hungry. I'm starving. I'm literally Let's eat. So, you're supposed to drink this with your smoked meat sandwich. So, we're going to have that. I think it's already here. Super fast [laughter] service. Okay. We just sat down and it literally took 2 minutes to get our sandwich. It is massive. I can't even hold it. It's just so much meat. It's huge. I asked my boyfriend if we're going to share and he's like, "No, [laughter] you crazy. >> Can't share. It's It's really good." So, as good as you remember? >> Really good. >> Yeah. Okay. So, this is a closeup of the sandwiches just so you see it. It is massive. There's a lot of meat in there. You have a lot of fat. You have mustard. And then it's just a simple bread. Pickles go really well with it. Fries. Can't go wrong with that. It's falling apart. I don't know how to bite into this. M. Such nice smoky flavor. Salty. You can taste I think it's like a brine. No. Yeah. There's a lot of fat. It gives the sandwich a lot of flavor. I'm going to add a little bit of mustard on here. There you go. It's so hard to bite into. It's just so big. >> That's what she said. [laughter] >> M. The mustard gives it like the the last touch here. Just so much flavor on the sandwich. Last time when we were here, it was a little bit on the dry side, so it wasn't as good. But like this time, they specifically say, "Give us a piece with a lot of fat. You want the flavor. >> We're not counting calories here. So, definitely adding mustard on top, having fries, pickles, like cherry, soda. It's a whole experience. >> All right. Just got a reminder. >> This is welld deserved. >> Yes. Misha 2025. Congrats. >> Thank you. [laughter] >> Thank you for keeping the tradition alive. >> Thank you. >> Can I see the meat? >> Oh my goodness. Wo. Yes. >> [music] >> Okay, bellies are full. We're very happy. That was absolutely delicious. Some places that are viral don't always live up to the hype, but this one is definitely one of those spots that you have to go to. It has been around for like over 100 years, almost 100 years. >> 1928. >> 19228. So yeah, they go by the same recipe. They have very simple menu. You can also order other stuff on there, but everybody goes there for the sandwich. So, I can highly recommend to try it. Also, not bad for the price. It's $1,555 Canadian. That's like 11 US. Like, where do you get a sandwich like that in the US for that price? It's impossible. Good choice. >> [music]
