So.
Mindblowingly.
Good.

I don't even like chicken and I'd eat Ramados every single day for the rest of my life if I could. WHAT ARE THEY DOING to this meat?? What is that miraculous basting mixture being slathered over these rotating birds?? Why,…More »

 2. Café Olimpico

124 St-Viateur Ouest
Montréal, QC H2T 2X8
(514) 495-0746

Category: Coffee & Tea

5.0 star rating
  8/30/2011

An institution in the fine city of Montreal, Olimpico is to coffee as Schwartz is to meat. No frills, no soy milk, no bamboo benches, no yuppie mums -- this is the best of Montreal. The line is long, the hipsters are plentiful, the owners are Italian…More »

 3. Belgo Building

Montreal, QC H3B 1A2
(514) 861-2953

Category: Art Galleries

5.0 star rating
  10/16/2011

Home to countless vernissages, conveniently located downtown in an otherwise pretty awful St Catherine location, holder of secrets from a past life that I may or may not have led, the Belgo is an unassuming spot for all things contemporary art in…More »

  10/24/2011

If the feelings I have toward the fine city of Montreal were to be epitomized by one place, Cagibi would be it. Cozy, friendly, serving of both coffee and wine -- this is the best work spot, the best meeting spot, the best, no-fail joint to bring…More »

 5. Fairmount Bagel

74, avenue Fairmount Ouest
Montreal, QC H2T 2M2
(514) 272-0667

Category: Bagels

5.0 star rating
  1/21/2012

There's this ongoing St Viateur--Fairmount Bagel debate in Montreal -- which is chewier, which is more authentic (to what, I'm not sure), which has more sesame seed to bagel ratio, which has a crispier outside, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. But the…More »

Montreal, QC H3H 2K5

Category: Nightlife

3.0 star rating
  1/28/2012 First to Review

This is not a place to go ever, really. But it's so close to the downtown Concordia campus that I found myself here more times than I'd like to count.. or that I'd even be able to count for that matter. It's dirty, located in a basement, not even a…More »
