By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I had tickets to the Grands Ballets Canadien and was looking for a place to have dinner first. All the usual restaurants around Place des Arts were full but then I had a flash that Notkins was not too far away. I had been a few times for drinks […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I was invited by the crew of Zomato for a foodie meetup. I had never heard of Ouzeri before and I was looking forward to try a new place. The evening was all planned out for us with menu pre-selected and paired with wines. Ouzeri is located on St-Denis […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Having last-minute dinner plans on a Saturday night can be problematic unless you want to hit one of your regular spots. I wanted to try something new and was lucky enough to get a reservation at Balsam Inn. The decor is great just as the other restaurants from […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Located in an old firehouse the first thing that will strike you is the amazing decor and feel to the place. I love the mix of old brick walls and hard wood that gives a warm feel to the place. High ceiling and open kitchen also complement the look of […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I have been to La Société many times for brunch but I had never tried it for lunch. I decided to try it and headed there with a friend on a Tuesday for diner. We had a reservation but the place is relatively quiet during the week. After a cocktail and […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com You can tell when a restaurateur is also a chef just by the look of the kitchen. That is one of the first things I noticed when I walked into Antonio Park’s Lavanderia restaurant. An open kitchen with a minimalist decor, the place also boast high ceilings and windows that […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I’ve visited a few Izakaya’s in Montreal and I have to admit I’m a fan. If you’re not familiar with the term Izakaya it’s simply the name given to Japanese pubs. They always have a great ambiance and fun atmosphere that turns your diner experience in a party. One thing […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com My quest to find new and different tasteful menu brought me to the Mile End this week. I was actually impressed by the many restaurants that have opened on St-Laurent between St-Joseph and St-Viateur. My sight was set on Sparrow as I wanted to try their brunch menu. I got […]
It’s Friday night, after a long week I just felt like having a couple of beers in a relax place, so me and a friend headed out to Bier Markt. Been both beer lovers we knew we would have a good night since they offer 150 different beers from 30 different countries. Out of that 45 […]
I don’t try places often enough that are close to my place. As it was a beautiful day I decided to check out the restaurants that could be interesting from a walking distance. It had been a couple of times that I had seen this restaurant and their menu seemed interesting. Since it was early […]
Last year I moved on the Plateau and I’m discovering new places and reconnecting with some old ones. A friend of mine had told me of L’Entrepot on Mont-Royal. Concept is simple, every dish on the menu is 4.95$. I visited the place with a friend so we could try a few different dish. First […]
It opened back in January where Racine use to be located, Nolana is the fairly new pizzeria in the Old Port. I went to try out their food last week and I think this will be a nice addition to the neighborhood. The food is good and reasonably priced considering a lot of other restaurant […]
If you are in the Old Port area this is a good place to have breakfast, Maison Christian Faure is a well hidden gem on Place Royal Street. Since my sister enjoys good food too and we had not caught up in a bit she was delighted when I said we should go try it. […]
It’s always nice to discover new places to eat, but for me this was not a discovery, I’ve been visiting them for a few years. If you like dumplings you need to pay a visit to Mai Xiang Yuan. They have two locations, one in Chinatown on St-Laurent and one in front of Lasalle College on St-Catherine. In my opinion they […]
I don’t get to Outremont that often anymore and I should make an effort. There are a lot of good restaurants on Bernard Street and it’s sometimes hard to pick a place to go to. I let my sister guide us this weekend and we ended up at Cafe Souvenir. The place is not very […]
Last Friday I paid a visit to the recently opened restaurant Jatoba. I like what they did with the place. Located in the old Philips Lounge building they changed it totally and made it a lot homier with a nice decor with brick and wood. I had made a last minute reservation and was actually lucky to […]
Weekday end of the day and I just finished an appointment at the Montreal World Trade Center. Knowing that my fridge was at it’s perpetual state of emptiness I reached out to a friend to join me for drinks and dinner. Also been a creature of habits I suggested a few of my regular spots but then […]
One of the best thing I find of living in Montreal is the amount of activities that are available to us. The other great thing is that a lot of those activities are offered to us for free throughout the year. This weekend I opted for outdoor activities with Empire City Trooper snowboard competition, Fireworks […]
