By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com I was invited a couple of weeks back to the opening of Watts. Located on the Plateau on Roy corner St-Denis, it resides in the location of the old Salon Officiel bar. Mathieu Cournoyer previous manager of Salon Officiel and now owner of Watts re-imagined the legendary dive bar, conceptually […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com I was out in St-Henri with a friend looking for a new place to grab a quick lunch. As we were driving we spotted Tacos Victor and decided to give it a try. Place is pretty small and has mostly standing up eating area aside from a low counter […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com If you’re into pizza and you’re looking for a place to have a quick bite downtown, you should give Brigade Pizzeria a try. It’s a pretty cool concept that serves authentic Neapolitan pizza. They offer a variety of signature pizza’s or you can build your own using a variety […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com I was looking for a place for brunch when I realized Le Hachoir was now offering them. It had been a while that I wanted to try the establishment but never got around to it. The place has a good vibe, I like the mix of wood, glass and […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com Discovered this cool little spot on Laurier street on the Plateau, Cafe Les Entretiens. We were lucky enough not to have to wait when we showed up at 11am on a Saturday. Maybe it’s because it’s a little outside or the regular busy Plateau area but even when we […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com My favorite drink is by far the Old Fashioned. Unfortunately not everyone, even if they think they do, can make a really good one. One place that can make a great one is Barroco. I use to stop from time to time with friends and enjoy their Maple Old […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com A couple of weeks ago I joined some friends for a birthday party at Shinji. I didn’t know exactly what to expect about the food as it’s in the trendy area of Little Burgundy where sometimes decor surpasses quality and taste of the food. I have to confess that […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com It had been a while that I wanted to go try this new Mexican restaurant that opened on Union street, Escondite. Last minute decision on a Friday night after drinks led us to taking a chance as I was told that it was first come first served at the […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com Last weekend I met up with some friends for breakfast. Everyone had a busy schedule so we didn’t want to venture away too far so we headed out to Griffintown Cafe. The place is nice and cosy and by showing up early (10 ish) we didn’t have to wait […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com Last week a friend of mine suggested we try a place he had discovered. As i’m rarely in the Rosemont neighborhood I thought it would be fun to try it out and discover a new place so we headed out to Baron Samedi. The decor of the place, has […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com About a month back I went for diner with a friend of mine at Icehouse. I had heard good things about this South West / Tex Mex restaurant. The first thing you need to know is that the place is very small, don’t go there if you’re starved and not […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Walking downtown I had often passed in front of the restaurant, but lately as I was walking on Mont-Royal I saw that they had open another location and decided to try it. The restaurant is called Cacao 70 and after some research I found out they had 3 locations on […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com The fun thing when you’re a Foodie is to have other Foodie friends. Lately I’ve been joined by a couple of friends for brunch on Saturday’s. They are pretty cool about it and let me be the guy taking pictures of the food and letting me pick where I want […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I was looking yet again for a new place to try and ended up on another great discovery. Le Pegase is a BYOB restaurant located on the Plateau Mont-Royal. As I called to make a reservation I was told that they were unfortunately booked for the evening, luckily my phone rang […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Since I’ve experience the food at Le P’tit Plateau I have been trying to alternate my choice of restaurants between regular full licensed establishment and BYOB. We’re very lucky in Montreal to have so many BYOB restaurants that offer such great quality and tasty food. If you love good wines it also […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I was walking along Rachel Street when I spotted a line up in front of this restaurant. Since it’s right in front of La Banquise I thought maybe people didn’t want to wait and this place was getting the overflow from across the street. I stopped and checked out the […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Over the weekend as I was passing on Rachel I stopped by at La Maison des Pates Fraiches. My sister had recommended the place to pick up fresh pasta and sauces and I wanted to see what they had to offer. Even if the french name means fresh pasta they have […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com When it comes to my drinks i’m pretty constant, you’ll see me drinking beer, wine, vodka tonic or scotch. Even when if we’re talking shooters I usually stick to Jägermeister or Chartreuse. For all other types of cocktails unless we are referring to a classic Old Fashioned or Manhattan I’m […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com If you’re like me I guess you have a hard time to associate very good food to BYOB restaurants. I mean don’t get me wrong I’ve found quite a few ones that were good and that match or surpassed quite a few other full service restaurants. I just had a […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Friday night last-minute reservation can often restrain your choice of restaurants. Even if it does sometimes it’s worth looking at different neighborhood options to make sure you will still have a nice experience. A friend and I had movie tickets for the PITCH Festival at Cinema Park (by the way if you […]
