Friends took me to that nice little restaurant/wine bar on St-Jean street. The decor is rustic but it fits really well with the thematic and menu they […]

I don’t know if you’re like me, but I have an undying love for cheese. Just like bacon I could add cheese or bacon to almost any dish. One of my favorite comfort food has to be Mac n’Cheese. The more traditional one is always good but just like Poutine Mac n’Cheese has evolved with […]

It’s been a few times now that I visited Burger Royal. The place is pretty cool, it’s got a laid back atmosphere, and been a Quantin Tarantino fan I like some of the reference they have in the decor and the menu. Naturally the main reason for my visits is the food and I always enjoy a […]
