I’ve heard it so often, and I’ve said it so often, that it’s become gospel. A motto. The selling point on every bus stop ad outside the city limits.
Montreal excels at hospitality.
The city’s known for it, and anyone who enjoys a night out at a real restaurant knows the archetype; that server with gracefully tatted sleeves who knows all the touchpoints, makes all the right jokes, knows just when to butter you up, and how to satisfy. There are dozens of places that I know will leave whoever I send there with a smile that’ll last on their face long after they’ve come to town.
