[MTL] A Boutique Café – Le Butterblume

Le Butterblume, locating on the main, is a restaurant, a cafe, as well as a boutique. This hybrid cafe is started by a team of the Pâtisserie Rhubarbe and Olive et Gourmando alum, which is at the border of Mile End and Little Italy. Not only the owners, Julie Romano and Nadine Boudreau, have strong restaurant résumés, so does the chef, Jens Ruoff. After my first visit, it has become one of my favorite weekday and weekend brunch spots!

[MTL] An Enchanting Persian Café – Byblos Le Petit Café

Brunch doesn't always have to be just about omelettes or pancakes. Byblos Le Petit Café, situated a bit east of Station Laurier, is a cozy, neighborhood cafe that is known for the Persian breakfast/brunch. I had such a carb-loaded, and soothing morning there with a friend on a Saturday morning.

[MTL] An Upscale Brunch in Rosemont – Hoogan et Beaufort

As I was very satisfied with the dinner at Hoogan et Beaufort few months ago, I went back during my favorite meal of the day, brunch! Was it worth it? Sure.

[SF] Out in the Outer Sunset – Outerlands

I love brunch. No matter where I travel to, I'll never miss out the chance of exploring local brunch. Outerlands, locating in the outer sunset, is one of my favorite spots in San Francisco that I had to visit again during my second trip.

[Recipe] Oh-so fluffy – Buckwheat Soufflé Pancake

Pancakes used to be my favorite type of breakfast when I was a kid, especially those classic buttermilk pancakes. As I'm older, I become more of a french toast person. Japan, one of my favorite countries in the world, is known for their creativity, including food. Pancakes are quite popular in Japan. Since the Americans can make "cronuts" (aka croissant + donut), why can't the Japanese put soufflé and pancake together? It maintains the versatility of pancakes, but also has the airiness of soufflé. Definitely perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or tea.

[Recipe] Better Than Regular Buns – Pesto Mozzarella Cheese Balls

Besides the Earl grey chocolate braid, my friend and I also made these fluffy, cheesy pesto balls as our "appetizer".

[MTL] Family Morning Ritual – La Petite Maison

Locating on avenue du Parc (near avenue St-Viateur), La Petite Maison is situated at an easily accessible spot. It's a new project of chef Danny St. Pierre, whom is also a cookbook author and television host. Though it's located at such a good location, but one can easily walk pass it without noticing due to its physical layout as the below-ground restaurant. When I walked in, there were only 6 tables with some round tables and some rectangular tables. I thought, "oh.. it's quite small".

However, who knew that the restaurant is divided into three parts! The front house, kitchen/bar area, and a private salon room at the back. Dining at La Petite Maison definitely made me feel like dining at a friend's. Here's why...

[MTL] British Morning – Maison Publique

My last visit to Maison Publique was two years ago, which it has just opened for business. Why it took me so long to go back? Well... Locating at the corner of rue Gilford and rue Marquette, the location just isn't that convenient for me, otherwise I would've definitely gone back every weekend or so.

[MTL] So-Cal in La Petite-Patrie – Restaurant Santa Barbara

Brunch is my all time favorite thing to do on weekends, and I love trying out different brunch spots. Locating in La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, Restaurant Santa Barbara is just right next to one of my favorite cafes, La brume dans mes lunettes. I visited on a nice Sunday with two friends, and was glad that we were able to snap the last two tables.

[MTL] Non-Italian Brunch Gem in Little Italy – Salmigondis

I've heard about Salmigondis quite a few times before visiting. I didn't have any motivations to go north until it was strongly recommended by Montreal Food Pictures, especially it's from the same owner as Arts Cafe (one of my favorite cafes in Montreal). Locating in the Little Italy, Salmigondis is only a block away from Impasto and GEMA. I can say it makes the top 3 best brunches in Montreal on my list.
