[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.

[MTL] Nordic “omakase” – HVOR

HVOR, meaning "where" in Danish (pronounced "vor"), brought a new dining concept to Montreal's food scene. There's no menu, and everything is up to the chef, hence just like the Nordic "omakase", where the chef decides what to serve. As the waiter told us that there's a bit of Japanese influence on chef S'Arto's creations, I found it, coincidentally, matched with his dining concept!

[MTL] Live Fire + Good Ingredients – Foxy

Foxy, the new sister restaurant of Olive et Gourmando, is located in the newly-restaurant-blooming neighborhood, the Griffintown. Unlike O+G that serves hearty soups and sandwiches, Foxy focuses on slow-roasted grills, which there's a fire oven installed in the restaurant. Since there was already a huge hype about it, and went with high expectations, came out without disappointment.

[MTL] A Playful Restaurant – Montreal Plaza

Montreal Plaza was definitely one of the most anticipated restaurants in town. Why? Because it's the new project from chef Charles-Antoine Crête, whom is the ex-Toqué! chef and his partner Cheryl Johnson. Located in the Plaza Saint-Hubert, among those random boutiques, the eccentric decor definitely made the restaurant popped.

[MTL] Pizza & Pasta – Wienstein & Gavino’s

Locating on the Crescent street, which is one of the streets with highest restaurant density in Montreal, Wienstein & Gavino's offers the flavors and traditions of Italy. W&G has been around for 20 years in the food scene, but just like what they've stated on their site, they are constantly exploring new and creative dishes as trends evolve, which leads to the introduction of their gluten-free menu! As gluten-free is one of the trendiest diet,the restaurant created the menu for customers who prefer to follow a gluten free lifestyle. However, it is not designed for people who suffer from Celiac disease, therefore, there's a risk of cross-contamination or traces of gluten.

[MTL] Urban Market – Marché des Éclusiers

As the trees are green, sun is out, daytime is longer, people are outdoor longer. Therefore, where to go? In case you get bored of the plateau, explore south to the Old Montreal. Marché des Éclusiers , the new project of the co-owners of Fabergé, is a new hybrid market that focused heavily on locally sourced and sustainable produce. It has recruited various local small business owners, vendors, and farmers. It's the place where you can chill and enjoy a drink, grab some food with friends and family after strolling around the Old Port.

[MTL] Non-Touristy Tour – Spade & Palacio

Summer has finally arrived in Montreal, which means nice sunny days, parks, and wanderlust in different neighborhoods. Recently, I went on a food tour organized by the Spade & Palacio Tours with my mother. This tour company is co-owned by Danny Pavlopoulos and Anne-Marie Palacio, whom are both licensed tour guides. Two Montrealers who are passionate about the city and love to show it. The tour was not touristy at all, which explains the 5 stars review on TripAdvisor! Been living in Montreal for 5 years, I've learned a lot about Montreal more than just food within few hours.

[MTL] Slurp Slurp Slurp – Kinton Ramen

For all those days that I've been waiting for - an authentic, hearty ramen - has finally arrived in Montreal! Kinton Ramen, originated from Toronto (already have 5 locations!), is part of the Kinka Family, which decided to come to Montreal after the successful launch of Kinka Izakaya last year. I love ramen. However, none of the ramen spots could satisfy my cravings as there's always just something lacking in the bowl. Now, you'll know where to find me during the harsh winter in Montreal.

[MTL] Hotel for Food – Hôtel Herman

Locating on the main of Montreal, close to the corner of Avenue Fairmount E, Hôtel Herman, unfortunately, is a restaurant, not a hotel for lodging. However, the vibe and the food were simple, yet with sophisticated and interesting flavors. It has recently be ranked as the No.15 by Canada's 100 Best. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
