The Butter Melts Out of Habit

Yes, I know. I came back six months ago, and the entire summer has passed since, and I’ve even gone on another trip in the meantime, and how come I never finished that four-part summary of my time in New York, huh? I have no real excuse, other than I was busy travelling and enjoying the summer, and (...)

Il y a quelques semaines, je suis tombée amoureuse d’une nouvelle entreprise québécoise: Tagada. Vous aimeriez vous rendre au marché chaque semaine, mais vous n’avez pas le temps? Vous aimeriez consommer des produits locaux et essayer de nouveaux ingrédients, mais vous ne savez pas comment vous y prendre? Vous faites l’épicerie à pied, et vous (...)

J’ai hésité longtemps avant de vous parler de ce resto, parce que je voulais le garder pour moi seule. Je me suis dit: “Au pire, montre-leur les photos, mais dis-leur que c’est pas si bon que ça en a l’air. Dis-leur que c’est ben correct, mais que c’est peut-être un peu trop cher et qu’ils (...)

Our third day started at one of my most anticipated restaurants of the trip: Gabrielle Hamilton’s Prune. We arrived soon after opening, and the place was already buzzing. Since this restaurant doesn’t take brunch reservations, we were prepared to wait in line, but thankfully, it only took half an hour before we were seated, pretending (...)

Des tacos, des burgers, de la pizza; du japonais, de l’indien, de l’australien; des camions, des cabanes, un corbillard: c’est à ça que ça ressemble, un festival de bouffe de rue. C’est au Souk Gastronomique, dans le cadre du Festival Juste Pour Rire, que tout ça se retrouve. Sur la rue Sainte-Catherine, entre la rue (...)

On Saturday morning, we headed to Brooklyn for breakfast at the charming and quirky Vinegar Hill House. As the name may suggest, this restaurant is in fact a re-purposed old house: the room separations are still apparent, and the place has a great rustic feel. The eclectic, quaint vibe is fully realised with random pictures of owls, (...)

When my four-day anniversary trip to New York became a personal culinary challenge, my dedication to the world of food and restaurants was put to the test like never before. All financial, behavioural, and physical norms were forgotten at the bus station, as I set out to explore a city I thought I already knew (...)

La Pâtisserie Rhubarbe, qui profite déjà d’une excellente réputation grâce à tous ses desserts exquis, offre maintenant le brunch tous les dimanches! Pour 16$, on nous propose un truc à boire (espresso, latte ou jus d’orange), un scone, un met principal, et un yogourt granola. Les scones, au fromage et aux herbes, sont tendres et (...)

So for the past few months, I’ve been working near Square Victoria, and I’ve discovered a number of lunch spots well worth your attention. Officina Formerly known as Beniamino, this unassuming trattoria offers an impressive variety of sandwiches, along with a variety of salads, roasted vegetables and a few plated dishes of pasta, meat or (...)

Arriving at Lawrence on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I noticed an adorable old man who looked just like Christopher Plummer. I got pretty excited, but sadly, it wasn’t him – just another cute old man. Either way, it was enough to charm me. The crowd inside the restaurant was cheerful and eclectic; the place was (...)
