La Dinette Nationale

Elle se définit comme La Fabrique de choses sucrées. Le concept est sympa: Vous pouvez vous inscrire ou l'offrir, une fois par mois, vous recevez une boîtes de gourmandises sucrées.  En vous joyant au 'Cercle des croqueurs de choses sucrées', vous pouvez soit essayer pour un mois, tentez 6 mois ou vous gaver pendant un an! Les gâteries peuvent être livrées direct à l'adresse voulue ou encore recueilli à la boutique!

Cabane à Sucre Au Pied de Cochon -Sugaring off the fancy way!

With the ever so growing culinary adventurers in quebec, the sugar shack was inevitably going to go through a makeover through the magical hands of some wild chefs.  From my past posts on surprising and unexpected sugar shack meals (here and here), I thought I've tasted it all and that it couldn't get any crazier.  Little did I know what Martin Picard, the owner of the restaurant Au Pied de Cochon, was about to get us into once more.  The most intense, unimaginable, but oh so worth it, food coma!

Understanding the story behind a restaurant, the chefs, the owners, each dish, and each decoration piece just brings the experience to a whole new level.  Usually, I get super excited whenever I get a new book about food but somehow, I never really get through cover to cover.  Well, The Art of Living according to Joe Beef is a different story.

Monsieur B. - BYOW

BYOW restaurants are always interesting.  Either it is to try a new wine without spending tons or by bringing more than one bottle to make your own wine and food pairing, being able to bring your own alcoholic drink is always an added value.  And it doesn't take off a lot from your bill!

I have heard about Monsieur B. quite a lot.  In the same group as Les Infidèles, Les Héritiers and O'Thym, other interesting BYOWs, Monsieur B. is a small place that has a lot to offer.  On the corner of Villeneuve Street where it used to be a depanneur, Monsieur B. is discreet in the neighborhood.  But do not be fooled, it is packed!!!
