La Bouffe de rue à Montréal?!?!

La magie des takoyaki aux Souks Gastronomiques du festival Juste Pour Rire
Oui oui oui oui oui!!!! On sent ce jour approcher de plus en plus! Un jour, dans un futur proche, Montréal pourra se vanter de sa grande gastronomie de rue! Et cela sera beaucoup plus que des hot dogs, des pretzels et des burgers! On pourra y trouver tacos, takoyakis, viande de barbecue longuement braisées, sandwich gourmets, etc.

Park Restaurant - refreshing twist to Japanese cuisine



It is funny when you think that a few years back, sushi was still such a novelty and meant only for those who were adventurous enough to try it.  It has come a long way since then! And there has been quite some improvement and evolution from sushi shops, sushi from grocery stores, from buffet or from all you can eat!  Even though Montreal is not necessarily known for this type of cuisine, there is no doubt that the expertise is growing and ever so rapidly!

And I must say that Park restaurant is ranking quite high in its category.  In a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, Chef Antonio Park wisely pairs unexpected ingredients to surprise his patrons. And the quality of the fish he uses cannot be any fresher. Literally. You'll understand why later. Now, please embark to this sensorial journey with me :)

Fortunately, that gives us more reasons to indulge into iced and delicious treats!

Here is a list of my fave go to places to cool down:
