Montréal, QC H2R 1T1
(514) 277-1588

Category: Farmers Market

5.0 star rating
  4/6/2011

I am so glad that I finally made it to the Marché Jean-Talon.  I was pretty disappointed with the Atwater Market (more of a tourist trap than it is a true farmer's market).  

All the produce were so fresh and almost all the fruit stands had samples of…More »

Bonjour Brioche is the right way to start any weekend morning.  I had heard about the notorious line-ups at Bonjour Brioche.  Having not eaten anything in preparation for brunch, I was hoping and praying that the wait would not be so long that my…More »

Ed's Real Scoop is the real deal!  And here I foolishly thought that doling out $4.99 for a tub of Dazs or Ben 'n Jerry's was an indulgence... Move aside and make space for Ed's!

Originally I was going to opt for a Pistachio Gelato because that is one…More »

If I could hack into Yelp's HTML coding and invent another star, I would definitely give Woodlot 6/5!  Nestled in the neighbourhood of Little Italy - the Woodlot Bakery & Restaurant  is truly a Toronto gem.  Newly opened since November 2010, Woodlot…More »

A friend brought me here for my birthday.  Don't let the not-so-glam decor fool you.. because you are in for a star-treatment... (Well, when it comes to the food anyways!)

Their alcohol selection is a little scant, but that may have changed since last…More »

Walked over to Olive et Gourmando for breakfast as I had read several Yelp reviews about it.  

While I won't agree with it being "the country's greatest" almond croissant... Their croissant was quite tasty and unique from other croissants I've tasted.…More »

I have never been a big beer drinker - but Drift may have me converted.  My friends and I came to Drift after a long day at the CNE.  One of the gang live in the Dufferin Grove area, and so I quickly opened up my Yelp app to see what was good.  Drift…More »

Another day, another restaurant.  I don't think I have ever dined out as much as this week but I can't help it that my best friend is in town and there is this bustle of social activity going on that surrounds food... Guess that's why we're best…More »

Upon entering Sidecar my first thought was that its layout resembled a tram car with its oblong layout.  The staff (predominantly male), were dressed in a fashion that resembled the staff aboard the Titanic.  The restaurant was cozy and intimate and…More »

My best friend's birthday party brought me back to Bar Italia.  The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived but luckily we had resos.

The word libretto refers to a notebook.  I wonder if Italians have the same strange ways of picking names that do not translate well into English like Chinese Restaurants?  Usually the Chinese name and the English name don't even mean the same thing!…More »
