Montreal is the gastronomic capital of Canada. Here, you can taste the most popular dishes and learn about the historical culinary traditions of the country. One of the most popular products is smoked meat that is offered at cheap bars, as well as at the most prestigious restaurants. Before being cooked, pork is marinated in spices for a week and smoked. To make it softer, smoked meat is steamed. This recipe has been relevant for over a hundred years. Sliced meat is served as a snack with bread and mustard or added to pizza or some first courses.
Another interesting gastronomic symbol of Montreal is bagels that you can taste at all city restaurants and cafes. Bagels are baked only in a wooden stove and then dipped into honey syrup. Interestingly, bagels are served only for dessert. Sometimes, bagels are cut into two parts and served with cheese, bacon, different vegetables, or eggs. For desserts, they are usually served with jam or chocolate paste.
