I received the Syrah and the Chardonnay from Fat Bastard Winery to give them a try. Because of the name I first thought these wines to be from the New Worlds but realized they were from France. A 2016 Chardonnay is what I tried first on a nice sunny afternoon, keep in mind that I’m […]
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 […]
Quebec city has in the old city lots of charm and naturally the establishments in that area work hard to offer different decors and cachet to their visitors. 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 […]
BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM Who doesn’t like champagne, but have you ever tried Prosecco? I’m an aficionado of Italian cuisine and drinks but that has nothing to do with it. As a matter of fact don’t take my word for it but here’s some stats that might surprise you, in 2015 sales of Prosecco […]
BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM Friday night after a long week and needed a little night time to unwind, unwinding for me means a good meal and a couple of glasses of wine. I was told I should try this restaurant as they have a good menu and also a nice wine list. […]
BY SEBASTIEN ROBILLARD TWITTER: @Seb_Blog EMAIL: FASHIONBPM@GMAIL.COM A few months ago when I got a text from my foodie partner saying she had gotten us a reservation at Joe Beef I just couldn’t wait to try it. Having tried Vin Papillon and Liverpool House I had great expectations for this Montreal well known establishment and […]
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. It had been a while that I wanted to try the establishment but never got around to it. The place has a good vibe, I like the mix of wood, glass and […]
By Sebastien Robillard Twitter: @fashionbpm Email: fashionbpm@gmail.com I was lucky to be invited yesterday to La Grande Degustation de Montreal to do some wine tasting and sample some cheese from Spain. I got to try quite a few wines and I was very surprised at the variety of wine that were offered in such quantity. This […]
By Sebastien Robillard @fashionbpm fashionbpm@gmail.com I was invited for a 5@7 a couple of weeks ago to try the menu at Restaurant Communion in the Old Port. If you’ve never been the restaurant as a nice modern touch in the decor that matches well with the old building. The restaurant as a capacity of 70 […]
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 […]
One of the best thing I find of living in Montreal is the amount of activities that are available to us. The other great thing is that a lot of those activities are offered to us for free throughout the year. This weekend I opted for outdoor activities with Empire City Trooper snowboard competition, Fireworks […]
