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 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 […]
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. […]
