[TO] Alo’s Sister – Aloette

While I'm not really to splurge on Alo yet, I figured that Aloette would probably give me a sense of Chef Patrick Kriss's cuisine. Also, being the only Canadian restaurant on the list of World's 50 Best Restaurants, it is impossible to get a table at Alo without booking at least one month in advance. On the other hand, Aloette is a more down-to-earth and accessible!

[TO] Aiming for Delicious – Grey Gardens

I first got very excited about Grey Gardens when I found out that Jen Agg is one of the owners. I first knew her as one of the owners of Agrikol in Montreal, which is one of my favorite restaurants (she's no longer affiliated with the restaurant though), then her book 'I Hear She's a Real Bitch', so when I discover Grey Gardens, locating in Kensington Market, I knew that I had to try it!

[MTL] New Years Eve Dining Journey – Fieldstone

New year, new restaurant! I spent the last dinner of 2017 at Fieldstone, a restaurant that showcases the chef/owners' stories by putting the blend of flavors and techniques from Mexico, Cambodia, Spain, and Canada on the plates. On the new year's eve, I went on a memorable 8-course culinary journey with chef Chanthy Yen!

[MTL] Honey of the Neighborhood – Miel

My only impressions of the neighborhood Point St-Charles are that it is close somewhat close to Costco and there is a cafe there. Recently, on one of the cold days, I ventured out to the neighborhood again for the new gem, Miel.

[TW] New Aboriginal Cuisine – AKAME

AKAME, means "grill" in Rukai tribe language, was definitely one of the most talked restaurants in Taiwan last year. Operating by two brothers, chef Alex and Sky, in the village "Kucapu ngane", the oldest village of Rukai tribe. As one of the global food trends is to eat local and seasonal, AKAME has adapted it well by using seasonal food and characteristic spices and wild herbs of Taiwan aborigines.

[MTL] MTL à Table 2016 An Old Montreal Classic – Les 400 Coups

I've been to Les 400 Coups quite a few times for lunch, and they were very satisfying. It has been so hard to book a table at Les 400 Coups during MTL à Table every year. Luckily, I managed to get a table [back in October] as soon as they released the menu. Was it as good as my previous experiences? We shall see...

[MTL] MTL à Table 2016 A Casual Resto with Exquisite Dishes – La Récolte Espace Local

La Récolte Espace Local is situated in the Little Italy/Villeray neighborhood, close to station Jean Talon. I've walked passed by it quite a few times when it's closed, so never had an idea how the restaurant is like. Thankfully, my friends suggested this for MTL à Table. I'm already half way through the week of the event, and it's my third restaurant (two more to go!). This is by far the most satisfying dinner.

[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.

[VAN] “I Want It All” – The Mackenzie Room

The dinner at The Mackenzie Room was probably the most epic meal I've ever had so far. I had the chance to stay at Vancouver for 2 days after the trip to San Francisco, hence I got the opportunity to explore the food scene! Instead of going for Japanese food, my friend had given me few choices. The Mackenzie Room had caught my attention when I tried to look up the menu, because there is none on the site! They offer a menu (written on the chalkboard) that is in season, which totally reminds me one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal, Provisions 1628.
