It has an extensive menu, free parking, spacious seating, nice atmosphere, and it appears clean, so what more can you really ask for? Yes, I already mentioned you get free tea. Go ahead with the 10% tip if you wish (j/k!).

It’s home made French-Canadian cuisine and the food won’t blow you away, but it may surprise you. It’s honest, simple, and well executed. From what I tried it wasn’t anything I’d rave about, but also nothing I’d complain about.

Van Horne is a hidden gem in Montreal, Quebec. It was one of the three restaurants in Quebec to be voted as “Best Top 10 New Restaurants in Canada”. It’s intimate space, sophisticated atmosphere and eclectic menu is a must try!

I wouldn’t put Taverne Gaspar as a priority on my foodie list for Montreal, but I’m also not getting British-Quebecois pub food in Vancouver, so I still think it made for a good foodie experience. The “Popcorn” Sweetbreads is worth going back for though!
It’s the last weekend of Movember and either you’re really excited to show off your mustache, or you can’t wait to shave it off! Regardless, here’s some restaurants in Metro Vancouver that are ending the celebration with delicious offers, parties and promos!

Peasant looked, felt and tasted like the real Italian deal. It’s a local favourite and truly a hidden gem. I tried over 50+ restaurants in two weeks in New York, and this was one of my favourites, so I’d definitely say it’s a must try.

Romados was actually on my original foodie itinerary and I had randomly found it! My trusted foodie friend who lived in Montreal recommended it. It was described as a take out hole in the wall serving Portuguese chicken at its finest.
