Montreal is said to have two solitudes: the English and French, but many say there is a third solitude: the Jewish community. Two of the three of Montreal's edible food icons are Jewish: smoked meat and bagels. I want to get you to taste them, more than one and compare, but also many other classic Jewish Montreal dishes! The history of the Jewish Community in Montreal is a key thread of the history of the city and illuminates the political and religious contexts through the reality of Jews in the city. I designed the first Jewish Food Tour in Montreal. I am also a certified guide of Montreal and am able to both talk in detail about the Jewish community but also about the larger context. I have long-standing relationships with the business and a culinary background myself. This tour is a mix of nostalgic eateries, fresh trendy new spots, walking in picturesque neighbourhoods with historic visuals all around. The food, punctuated by poetry and story is on-point, generous and allows you to compare a rivals.
This is a walking tour and we will walk 3 kilometres and eat an insane amount of food on a tour that s packed with history and stories. - We will meet at a smoked meat establishment in Outremont, the most affluent French neighbourhood, but also a neighbourhood with a strongwomen Hassidic population. - We will visit 6-8 stops depending on the day of the week. - The tour includes beverages, sweets and savoury classics - We will compare rival bagel factories and smoked meat delis - We will tell the story of Jews in Montreal from their earliest arrival to the present. - We will visit Outremont, the Mile-End and the Plateau Mont-Royal - There will even be poetry along the way - Visit of Jewish landmarks and murals connected to the community

Airport: ,Cruise: ,ByGuide: The Meeting point is Lester's Deli at 1057 Bernard ave in Outremont. I recommend taking a taxi or public transit to get here. You can get off at Outremont subway station on the blue line or the 80 bus on Parc avenue on the corner of Bernard. I don't recommend taking your car as parking can be tough and we finish far from where we started.
