I’ve been to Quebec many times but having friend recently moving there really up the game restaurant wise on my visits. With sometimes very little time it’s hard to find the places that are the place to visit and they make my visit more pleasant not having to look for the good adresses to visit. […]
I had been wanting to try this place for a long time. I had briefly met the chef Marie Fleur St-Pierre at an event organized by the Spanish consulate and had loved what she had prepared. As me and some friends were looking for a place for brunch we decided to give it a try. […]
I was in Atlanta a few weeks back for a couple of days and got to try a few restaurants, one of them was Ray In The City. Located downtown on Peach Tree this restaurant offers a wide variety of fish and seafood. There was a large convention in town and making a reservation was […]
If you like to go for breakfast and especially if you like crepes you will like this place. A friend took me to Spanel and since I’m not a huge fan of sweets for breakfast so I was a little reluctant to this visit. Once I started to look at the menu I change my mind […]

Tomorrow will be the official opening of La Voute. I was fortunate enough to be part of their pré opening last Thursday. Located in the old Royal Bank of Canada building in the Old Port, the club took full advantage of the building beautiful architecture to create an amazing environment. Marble floors, stairs and elevators […]

A couple of weeks ago I finally made it to Bird Bar in Griffintown. The place is known for their fried chicken and champagne. I was there with a few friends on a Friday night and we all agreed that the ambiance was great. Decor is airy and bright and the DJ was playing some […]
I had been to Pub St-Pierre back in February and like I had mentioned in my previous post I really liked it (Pub St-Pierre). They’ve just added something pretty awesome for the summer, in collaboration with Daniel Notkins (Notkins), they are offering every Sunday their ”Summer Ocean Brunch” (s.o.b). Brunch is served from 10am-3pm and […]
This is another cool place I discovered while in San Diego, located on West Beech street this restaurant as a pretty cool decor and offer generous portions. When you walk in they have a nice bar area and dining up front. As you are moving from room to room the decor changes a little bit. […]
If anyone has known me for awhile, they will know that I love two things besides real estate: writing and, well….anything bubbly, especially champagne. Naturally, I was beyond delighted when my good friend and past blog partner Seb sent me a very interesting invite and asked me to go to an event/tasting on his […]
San Diego’s Little Italy has a lot to choose from. After reviewing some menus online I decided to give Bencotto a try. First the restaurant is breathtaking, as you come outside you get a clear view of the entire restaurant through their large window that give on Fir Street. Glass and wood creating a warm […]
On a recent trip to San Diego I was a couple of streets away from San Diego’s Little Italy. With my love for Italian food I was thrilled to have so many restaurants to choose from. One of the things I really like from the neighborhood was the diversity in food that they offer, sure […]
I was going out for brunch with some friends and when we got to our regular spot we were welcomed by a long wait line. We were all hungry and decided to take a walk and find another spot that would be a little faster. Our walk brought us on Young Street in Griffintown (one […]
Have you ever tried an escape room? For me this was a first, Échappe-toi offers 6 different scenarios in different rooms to test your abilities to identify and decipher the clues. This might seem easy but trust me it’s not. Only 3% of the people partaking in these scenarios actually resolve all of the clues […]
I travel quite a bit and it seems most cities all have a Ferris Wheel. I’m not sure if you saw that but Montreal will have it’s own Ferris Wheel in the Old Port in June 2017. The Wheel will be located on the Bonsecours Island in front of the Terrasse Bonsecours. The wheel will be […]
FRANCAIS I use to come here quite often but I have to admit that it had been years since I had step foot in the place. Wanting to catch up with some old friends we decided that would be the perfect place to meet on a Sunday afternoon. The decor as changed a little but nothing […]
FRANCAIS One of the many things I like about this city is that you can try cuisine from all over the world and never be disappointed. One of the places I like to go to when I feel like Indian food is Gandhi in the Old Port. The decor is pretty simple not banking on […]
If you’re into cooking I’m sure you’ll agree with me that cooking on the BBQ is awesome. Besides the exquisite tastes that it brings there’s a certain satisfaction to manning a grill. Maybe it’s just me but cooking on the open flame gives a certain kind of pride almost if I’ve hunted what ever I’m cooking […]
