What Makes a burger, The Burger!
Mr. Lew is a serious man. Serious about burgers. The LMM summer theme has been burgers as of late and I wanted a ‘burger whisperer’ to shed beef on what makes a burger, The Burger. -Na’eem
As an avid consumer of food, I started a search for “great” burgers in the Montreal area because of sheer curiosity. It took a visit to the much talked about La Paryse to make...

Suite 701
Montreal is all beauty, especially in the summer. It’s the ultimate backdrop for a date or as guest blogger Sally puts it, “A Suite Date” - Na’eem
I’m particularly fond of outings in the Old Port of Montreal area. I love its sexy sophistication, its architectural charm, but also the older crowd it draws. Older crowds typically have more clothing on. It’s a perfectly...

CJAD Summer Terrace Suggestions with Ric Peterson
Here is what I suggested.
For the guaranteed in the sun good time;
- KOKO on St. Laurent and Sherbrooke
- Place D’armes Terrasse at 701, Place D’armes.
A secret of mine;
- Terrasse sur L’Auberge du Vieux Port, on 97 Rue de la Commune Est. Try to go on a fireworks night, you’ll be in awe of the view.
Something different;
- The belvü, a catamaran-lounge that boats...

Burger Bar
Go to Burger Bar.
Two things in Montreal stick out prominently, condo developments and fancy burger joints. It’s hard to find a good and well priced one in the city. But I feel like I’ve found a gem.
The venue had a little of everything. A small and busy second floor terrace overlooking Crescent St, a fully loaded bar and a beautiful HD LED flat screen locked on sports. At first I...

Philémoning!
I’m often getting asked where one should go. ‘Something new and happening’ in our small city. I like to pass on the buck and let others answer. Guest blogger Sally gives us the scoop on a perfect little summer venue. - Na’eem
This little bar (Philémon Bar) is nestled in the heart of Montreal’s Old Port and has quickly become my little (ok massive) addiction over...

Dinner & Hockey in the Sky
When it comes to Watching & Eating, I’m up for it no matter where I am. Earlier this week Rickard’s invited a bunch of us to go up into the sky with Dinner in the Sky. A crane lifted table that brings you about 150 feet into the air. With my feet dangling, my body strapped down to a roller-coaster like chair, I was only able to think one thing - hockey. It was game 3 in Boston and...

Marché 27
First things first, they have a flat screen at the back. It was playing poker when I was over, but I’m sure they would play the game volume-less.
Marche 27 is a tartare bar and it gives you just that feeling. It’s a small and open space concept with a rustic feel. I was there with about 10 other people and we felt right at home. Although the service was a bit off at times, the...

As a Canadian or as a Montrealer?
Montreal plays Boston in the first round and pushes the whole series to a game 7 OT situation. Boston scores on power house goalie Carey Price to win the series in luck. Philadelphia ends up seeing Boston in the second round but is blinded in a 4-0 sweep. Boston goes on to play the super stars, Tampa Bay. Boston is pushed into another game 7 situation, where the only goal of the game...

Nantha’s Cash&Curry
Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian (anything hot) Restaurant in Plateau Mont-Royal. It’s a BYOB, but they recommend you bring your own yogurt too. Nantha the chef is like that cool uncle you always wanted. Chilling in his kitchen, we talked about topography, sex and mango achar as he prepared his famous spicy soup (the perfect cold remedy). Both the experience and the food at Nantha’s is always...

Watch&EAT
Watching the hockey game in Montreal is a special endeavour. Picking the perfect venue, getting the best seats and chowing down on some good food with friends is not always easy to organize. If you do have your regular spot for the face-off, I’m sure changing up your plans is not too far off your mind. I’m not only talking about spots to watch the game, I’m talking about watching & eating. ...
