La Belle Verte

La Belle Verte is a vegan cafe in Gatineau. When we got there it there was a dozen people (so it was half-full) then a party of another dozen came and it was crammed. It looks like a mixture of Umi Cafe and The Green Door.

Here’s a close up of the raw vegan burger. There’s […]

Patty Boland’s Pub

Too hungry to cook when work was over. The daily special was 4-cheese pizza. (Asiago, cheddar, Danish and what? I forget.). I had it with the garden salad with walnut and balsamic vinaigrette. Lovely. And a Kilknenny ale a year after we left the lovely medieval city.

A pecan tart. There’s no dessert there that you […]

Cuppedia

Cuppedia on Main Street is a shop with a traditonal Spanish food menu. This is their empanada.

Not a huge fork but a tiny plate and teeny jug of hot sauce. And a medium homemade apple cider.
Friendly staff and ambiance. Lots of teas to choose from too.

Wonton Mama

It’s been a while since we’d been back. Deep fried appetizers may not have been the best bet. They were freshly cooked crisp but not a lot of taste.

Strawberry bubble tea, no bubbles, two straws. It looks festive. Like a slurpie without the crushed ice.

Stir fried rice. I used to make my own in the […]

Burrito Borracho

There’s a new restaurant in the ByWard Market: Burrito Borracho at 105 Clarence.

This is the cheese enchilada, also known as fire. Hubby swore and broke out in a sweat at this one and his heat tolerance is far higher than mine.

The burrito was good. Even with hot peppers that can light up the viceral […]

Fairmount Bagels

Could leave Montreal without getting the famous Fairmount Bagels fresh from the wood oven. They melt in the mouth and change properties of texture and taste throughout the day.

You can watch them being made in a flash. When we got there, the store was only filled to the door. When we left it […]

Chuch Eat Coup

Vegan squash curry and soba noodles with bail, hot pepper and seitan at Chuch Végéthaïexpress, a Thai vegan at
4094, rue St-Denis corner Duluth in Montreal. The small plate was pretty heaped and filling. If I’m not mistaken, the curry tasted like coconut milk using soy milk.
The difference is night and day…take out or eat in […]
