My absolute favorite hotel restaurant.  The bar has been set.  I stayed in Quebec City for four days and I ate breakfast here on three of them.  

One day I had the panna cotta with pineapple, pear slices and pistacios.  Incredible presentation.  The…More »

Of all the hotels I've stayed in the world, from the Four Seasons in Manhattan to a government-run hotel in Noginsk, Russia (as bad as it sounds), Auberge Saint-Antoine is now my favorite.

It's an amazing hotel, but what I like most about it is how…More »

I ate a five-course meal here on a cold spring night, sitting by the fire.  I'm really glad we had the seats by the fire, both because it was warm and because the front of the restaurant is a kind-of-cheesy, sports-bar type atmosphere.

The wine list…More »

The line here was absolutely chaotic.  Apparently a couple tour groups - speaking roughly as many languages as the floor of the U.N. general assembly - had gotten in just before us and were struggling with the order.  The friendly, hardworking staff…More »

 5. Le Pub Saint-Alexandre

1087 Rue Saint-Jean
Quebec, QC G1R 1S3
Canada
(418) 694-0015

Categories: Canadian (New), Pubs

4.0 star rating
  6/10/2011

First of all, I love the fact that this place is called "Le Pub."  A also like that it's located in a very British Isles-style building on a very French-speaking street in Canada, British flags-a-flying.  So it's weird all around, and I go for weird.…More »

 6. Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac

1 Rue des Carrières
Quebec, QC G1R 4P5
Canada
(418) 692-3861
4.0 star rating
  6/10/2011

During our honeymoon, we toured the Frontenac, drank at the St. Laurent bar, and ate in the dining room and cafe.  When you look across the river, or gaze up at the building from the Governor's Terrace, the view is spectacular.  The Frontenac is the…More »

Montreal, QC H2W 1X9
Canada

The best beef brisket sandwich of all time.  Of all time.  I will try to describe it: smoky yet juicy, peppery yet salty, spicy yet sweet.  I realize I have failed to describe it.  You should go buy some and put it in your mouth and you will…More »

1909, rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest
Montreal, QC H3H 1M3
Canada

4.0 star rating
  6/10/2011

This place is a hidden gem on St. Catherine street, which is otherwise lacking in good breakfast options.  

They have delicious, cheap pastries that taste homemade.  I had a cheese danish which was warm, soft and chewy inside and flaky and warm on the…More »

 9. Le Petit Moulinsart

139 rue Saint-Paul Ouest
Montreal, QC H2Y 1Z5
Canada
(514) 843-7432

Category: Belgian

4.0 star rating
  6/9/2011

The best part about Moulinsart is the beer list and how knowledgeable the staff is about their beer.  They were out of stock of the beer I ordered, and the waiter recommended another option.  I asked him if he knew the alcohol content of the beer,…More »

 10. Bronte Restaurant

1800 Sherbrooke Rue W
Montreal, QC H3H 1E4
Canada
(514) 934-1801

4.0 star rating
  6/10/2011

This place is now called "RIDI", but it's basically the same place, with cheaper prices a different menu and mostly the same staff and atmosphere.  It's more affordable and less exclusive than Bronte, but they still have maintained a pretty high…More »

This is a nice hotel, a little out of the way from where things are happening in Montreal, but you can get it for a pretty good price.  The rooms are pretty spacious and clean and our corner room had wall-to-wall windows on two sides.  There's also a…More »

106 Saint-Paul Rue W
Montreal, QC H2Y 1Z3
Canada
(514) 788-4000
4.0 star rating
  6/9/2011

One of the best restaurants in the Old Town of Montreal, we ate here primarily because we were staying at the attached hotel, the Nelligan.  

The atmosphere is very cool, especially since we sat by the window and could gawk at people as they walked by…More »

The food here is fresh and delicious, I never thought I would enjoy a veggie sandwich so much.  The trout sandwich I had here was also pretty good, and the soups and bakery items looked and smelled incredible.

The worst thing about this place is how…More »

This tea house has a really chill, southeast Asia vibe with really amazing tea.  I came in on a hot day and had some peach-mango iced tea, and it was really refreshing.  They have a huge selection of teas as well as snacks.  You can also enjoy a…More »

Down the Shore (11)

I grew up on Delmarva, also known as the eastern shore.  Whether you live there or are just visiting for the weekend, you should check these places out.

Eat & Drink in D.C. via Hollywood (7)

The nation's capital city is the backdrop for literally thousands of films, but more often than not, they consist of stock footage of the capitol, White House and Lincoln Memorial while the filming of everything else was in L.A.

However, you can eat and drink at some of the famous D.C. filming locations of some great (and not so great) movies.
