FRANCAIS A long, long time ago, the bar scene on St-Laurent was the place to be. Every bar had it’s own cachet or attraction and there was an effort made to create an environment for the clients visiting these establishments. I thought those days were over until I visited Le Darling. When I walked in […]
I had heard many good things about the place from my friends but it was definitely a nice discovery. First the place is knowned for their charcuterie, sausages and award winner boudin. But it also has a nice cosy restaurant with an eclectic decor. Only a few tables and a lunch counter with a few […]
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 […]

Breakfast and brunch place always get busy on the weekend and I’m always trying to find spots that are good but not too busy. I found such a spot on Laurier, Wilfrid sur Laurier is a cool place that’s open for brunch on the weekend and lunch and diner from Wednesday to Sunday. The decor […]
Sunday morning are often a good and a bad idea to go for brunch or breakfast. Since you’re usually not the only one who had it there can be some huge lines at certain establishments. Looking for a new place to try, I ventured a little out of my usual neighborhoods and ended up in […]
BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM My quest to try another place for brunch took me to the Mile End on Fairmount street.

BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM Breakfast or brunch can be an adventure on Sunday’s. There is so many places to try in Montreal but it always seems that everyone thinks of the same place to go at the same time. I enjoy food as you probably guessed by now but I also dislike […]
BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM I went for brunch with some friends and as we were looking for a new place to try and were in the Griffintown area we decided to try Le Richmond Marché Italien.

BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM I find it harder and harder to find spots for brunch who impress me with a different kind of menu. It’s not that there is a lack of places to try in Montreal but as brunch is popular and that most of the time I don’t have the […]

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.

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 Last weekend I met up with some friends for breakfast.

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 […]
