By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com My favorite drink is by far the Old Fashioned. Unfortunately not everyone, even if they think they do, can make a really good one. One place that can make a great one is Barroco. I use to stop from time to time with friends and enjoy their Maple Old […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com A couple of weeks ago I joined some friends for a birthday party at Shinji.

By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com Last weekend I met up with some friends for breakfast. Everyone had a busy schedule so we didn’t want to venture away too far so we headed out to Griffintown Cafe. The place is nice and cosy and by showing up early (10 ish) we didn’t have to wait […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com About a month back I went for diner with a friend of mine at Icehouse. I had heard good things about this South West / Tex Mex restaurant.

By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com Would you eat it if McDonalds accepted Burger King’s peace offer? This is what could be found on the Burger King YouTube chanel. “In honor of Peace Day, September 21st, Burger King is calling for a ceasefire with McDonald’s. We’re inviting them to work with us to create the McWhopper, […]

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 If you’re like me I guess you have a hard time to associate very good food to BYOB restaurants.

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 […]
