El Zaziummm
It’s very rare that I make it back to a restaurant as quickly as I did to review El Zaziummm. I attended their 25th anniversary party back in June and a couple of weeks later I organized (with plenty of wonderful help) a sit down dinner to try a little more food in a setting…

Hachoir
It’s very, very rare for me to go to Hachoir and not have my usual Big Mec (or at least the Classic) burger, a delicious salad (that ginger vinaigrette is unreal) and of course the piping hot fries. This meal is one of my favourites in the city but every now and then I have…

Taqueria Arturo
Prince Arthur Street, between St. Laurent and Laval used to be a bustling hub of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops that attracted people from all over the city. It was one of a few pedestrian promenades in Montreal and it was busy morning, noon and night. In recent years the area has become less popular…

La Petite Garçonne and Chapitre 2
Three years ago La Petite Garçonne was born. Boutique 1861 had gotten so popular with shoppers from around the world that the dainty and aesthetically pleasing clothing couldn’t be contained in one or two simple stores. La Petite Garçonne offered a generation of woman a French inspired collection of clothing an accessories. When the store…

Ichigoichie
A few years ago Montreal went through a Japanese Izakaya moment. A number of them quickly opened and just as quickly closed throughout the city as we moved onto the next trend du jour. The thing about restaurant trends is the first one or two of their kind are original but then the money grabbers…

Aliments -40
It’s the perfect time of year to stay in and cook for our friends and family. Cocooning by a roaring fire while the scent of food baking in the oven wafts from the kitchen, through our home and into our warming hearts is sometimes made a little easier when the cooking is done for us.…

KazaMaza
If you are going out for Middle Eastern food and you happen to choose Kazamaza on avenue du Parc, you better show up hungry. I recently paid a visit to the restaurant with one of the Montreal Food Divas and the kitchen laid out a feast like I’ve rarely seen. The restaurant is located in…

L’Gros Luxe Deluxe
In a very short time, L’Gros has grown to become a neighbourhood favourite throughout Montreal. They recently opened their second Plateau location after transforming their original St. Andre and Roy location into the first ever entirely vegetarian L’Gros Luxe. Until this week, the new Plateau location (451 Ave Duluth E) was serving only food…

Robin des bois
The story of Robin Hood is familiar to us all. The galant vigilante who robbed from the rich to give to the poor was a symbol of defiance and a hero to those downtrodden and helpless against a system build to keep people in their place. In Montreal, Robin des bois, a restaurant concept unique…

An Urban Garden Party
Montreal’s Fitzroy is many different things. It’s a wildly decorated pool hall hangout, an awesome bar with great cocktails and a restaurant that serves up pretty fantastic food. It’s obvious that I liked the place (which surprised me a little) but you will need to see this it for yourself. Read on. Fitzroy is perfectly…

Pizza On The Plateau
Though you can find just about everything on the Plateau, a good pizza place was the one thing that eluded Mount Royal Avenue. With Pronto arriving on the scene a few months ago, that’s all changed now and for the better. Pronto isn’t just a pizza place though. To limit it to one thing would…

Tea And Cocktails
Montreal is a city on the move. Every week there’s a plethora of new hotspots opening in one or more of our city’s many cool neighbourhoods. Its often hard to keep but Montrealers never shy away from getting out on the town to prowl the streets in search of the next big thing. Mayfair is…

Buonanotte
A restaurant’s success depends on many factors. Food quality, service, ambiance and a little notoriety rank among the most important of these factors. Without this necessary foundation of imperative building blocks, nothing (including a solid customer base) can be built. During its 25 years on St. Laurent, Buonanotte has seen it all. The restaurant and…

Out of the Ashes
Pintxo was one of the first restaurants we covered here on dayjobsnightlife.com. That was almost three years ago (you can read that article from January 2013 right here). A lot can happen in three years and for this very well known Plateau eatery, time wasn’t so kind. The restaurant’s original location burned down earlier this…

Sip Back And Relax
Since the beginning of time (for this website) I have been asked all sorts of questions concerning restaurants, bars, hotels and events in Montreal and beyond. Perhaps the most recurring of these questions is “Where is the best bring-your-own-wine place in Montreal?”. Well, at long last I have combed through the streets of the city…
