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$. I visited the place with a friend so we could try a few different dish. First […]
It opened back in January where Racine use to be located, Nolana is the fairly new pizzeria in the Old Port. I went to try out their food last week and I think this will be a nice addition to the neighborhood. The food is good and reasonably priced considering a lot of other restaurant […]
Sunday I went out for a bite and to watch the game with the boys, as I walked in I barely had time to sit down that I was bombarded by them all to the fact that I had to download this new app TAB. What does this app do? Easy enough it allows you to pay your tab from […]
If you are in the Old Port area this is a good place to have breakfast, Maison Christian Faure is a well hidden gem on Place Royal Street. Since my sister enjoys good food too and we had not caught up in a bit she was delighted when I said we should go try it. […]
I don’t know if you are excited as I am but if you know me well you know I’m a huge James Bond fan. I own and seen the movies countless times from the original 1962 Dr. No to Skyfall. I’ve watch all the documentaries that I was able to get my hands on as […]
It’s always nice to discover new places to eat, but for me this was not a discovery, I’ve been visiting them for a few years. If you like dumplings you need to pay a visit to Mai Xiang Yuan. They have two locations, one in Chinatown on St-Laurent and one in front of Lasalle College on St-Catherine. In my opinion they […]
I just found out recently that you could order for delivery a tasty lunch box from Chef Jerome Ferrer at restaurant Europea Espace Boutique. They have several lunch box options on their menu starting at 11.90$ (delivery fees may apply depending of your location). All you have to do is go to the Europea Espace […]
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 week I went to the opening of the new night club Mademoiselle Butterfly. Located right next to Shinji in Little Burgundy the decor is truly beautiful and modern. This will be a nice addition for this neighborhood which is mostly populated by restaurants. So hit Little Burgundy and go enjoy the atmosphere and good music. Mlle […]
I don’t know about you, but I sure do use my Ipad quite a bit. I use it every day, to read, write, and give presentations or take notes at work. Here are a few of the apps I like to use on a daily bases. Kindle I like reading and the Kindle app works […]
Although spending a night at the Bell Center is quite a fun night, it’s not necessarily something worth writing about. I got to say I had great tickets best I’ve ever had and I’ve been numerous times including in the loge before. What I did discover during the evening is how cool the Canadien’s app […]
I’m some kind of a power user of my iPhone and iPad and I thought I would share a few of my favorite apps that I use on a regular base. Instaplace This is a pretty cool app especially when you are traveling, it can create good memories or postcards type pictures to post on social […]
I tried this new cola made in Montreal the 1642 Cola. It’s actually pretty good, without offending the creators it taste a little like Coke but with a slight maple syrup taste. Bottle design is nice and simple but I actually like the little touch of history with Maisonneuve on the bottle cap. It’s fairly […]
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 […]
As much as I’m loyal to the places I like, I always like to try new venues. Few months back I had heard of the opening of this new place but after a few weeks I didn’t hear any buzz about it. It’s obvious that there are a lot of new places opening in Montreal […]
