We went there at 10am and we were so early that we were the only two sitting which somewhat great because we got the special treatment. The food was great.

Yummy Cupcakes

Les Glaceurs-Glaces et Cupcakes
453 Rue Saint Sulpice
Montréal, QC H2Y2V8, Canada

Very pricey cupcake - around $3 per cupcake. But I think it's better than Magnolia. It's a cutesy shop filled with yummy cupcakes, drinks and jewelry that looks like cupcakes. They only have three tables so some customers can be intimidated to come in for some yummy treats. My favorite was the Vanilla and lemon cupcake.

I love Paninis

First that comes in my mind is that it's a very busy Panini shop. You have to wait to be seated and then be handed a paper to place your order. The service was good. But when it gets crowded, it can be a little bit overwhelming. I definitely was pleased with my selection of my panini (Chicken panini) because it was very favorable. When it comes to paying the bill, the line is so long and it can take a while. Overall, I would definitely want to go back again.

Not just any bagels

St-Viateur Bagel

....it's better. My friend, Tina, recommended us to try St-Viateur's Bagels. Even though we were still full from lunch, we gave in to try this infamous bagel shop we keep hearing about. They have this wooden oven out in the front where this one guy placing a bunch of bagels in the row on a wooden plank. You can't get any fresher than this. Each bagel costs around 75 cents. We tried the Sesame seed bagel and it was very delicious and doughy in the middle. It has a great wooden aroma in the bagel. So, when is St-Viateur coming to New York? Oh wait, they have it in Brooklyn. I will definitely head to Hoyt St to get a bag full of bagels. Let's go!!!!!!!

Candian Poutine

La Grande Terrasse

Montréal, QC H2Y

We picked this spot because of the atmosphere. Even though the table they picked for us was right next to the steps having people to accidently push you, except for that, it has a great view overlooking Jacques-Carter area. Since it was a nice beautiful day, it was a huge plus. Our goal was to try the Canadian Poutine and yes, it was amazing - great experience. My Chicken on a baguette was delicious. But the Chicken Quesadilla was not good for the stomach. It makes you want to go straight to the bathroom - stat. Overall, it was on a great area and good food with reasonable prices.






Canadian Poutine (Fries with gravy and cheese curds) - $8


Chicken with lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and mustard on a baguette with fries $14


It was very delicious.


Chicken Quesadilla - $15

Crepes - drools

Crepe Cafe
362 Notre-Dame Est
Montréal, QC H2Y
(514) 759-6755







Best Crepe I ever had. Montreal is highly influenced with French culture so my mission was to find the most yummiest crepe. I was so happy to find the first crepe place and was very satisfied with the result. It's a small shop but very comfy. It was closing at the time so I was reluctant to order anything until the lady behind the counter told me that I can order out. She was very amicable with what kind of crepe I wanted, whether it was sweet or salty. She recommended me something not on the menu - caramel crepes sprinkled in white sugary powder with whip cream dipping cup. Before even tasting it, I could smell the sweetness. Once I took a bite, it was heaven.


Caramel crepe $7.95 (Comes with cafe)

A popular drinking spot in Montreal. Brasseurs means Brewers. They make their own beers; three huge brewery stations are mostly located on the 2nd floor. The place is very comfortable with the young college students and young professionals hanging around for a night light beer. Definitely try the blonde - it has a aromatic taste with a hint of sweetness. I had the strawberry margarita. I wish it was served in a margarita glass but then again, it's a beer place so I can't complain. I didn't get to try any bar food but it's probably great.
