Hope you are having a lovely day and that May is off to a great start! These past two months have been filled with tremendous joy as we welcomed the newest (and cutest!) little addition to our little family!

We have also enjoyed wonderful outings… here are our March & April favorites:

400 coups
400 Notre-Dame East
Dinner: Tues – Wednesday 5:30 – 10:30 pm
Thurs – Friday 5:30 – 11:00 pm
Lunch: Thurs – Friday 11:30 am -1:30 pm
(514) 985-0400

This old port resto has delicious food, an excellent wine list and one of the most beautiful plating this city has to offer… not to mention the amazing service! The dishes are wonderfully complex and refined, each dish boasts a myriad of colors & textures without being overwhelming. You should NOT skip dessert at this place- they are out of this world!

Impasto
48 Rue Dante
Dinner: Tues – Saturday 5:30 – 11:00 pm
Lunch: Thurs – Friday 11:30 – 2:00 pm
(514) 508-6508

Impasto’s menu features straight forward, nonna-style Italian food – Freshly homemade pastas & charcuterie, along with great seafood dishes. Extremely well priced, casual atmosphere and deliciously satisfying food- what more could you want?  Perfect for both lunch and dinner.

 Patrice Patissier
2630 Notre-Dame Ouest
Tues – Saturday 9:30 – 6:30 pm
Sunday 9:30 – 5:00 pm
Bar à vin: Thurs – Friday 5:30 – 10:30 pm {update about this in an upcoming post!}
514 439-5434

The new venture of Patrice Demers and Marie-Josee Beaudoin {two thirds of the dream team responsible for opening 400 coups} is perfectly situated in Little Burgundy. A bit of a coffee spot & patisserie that turns into a wine bar after 5:30 pm on Thursday and Friday nights. This place is perfect for a small brunch, a weekday lunch, or coffee and dessert; not to mention a cute date spot for wine and small savory dishes {more on this soon!}.

Weekday brunches at Arts Café
201 ave. Fairmount Ouest
Monday to Friday 9am-7pm
Saturday and Sunday 10am-5pm

Looking for Sunday style brunch mid-week? Head over to Arts Cafe. They serve good quality coffee {49th parallel} and a variety of brunch dishes, ranging from the classic Fairmount bagel or Belgian waffles, to Shakshouka or a spring Green salad with poached eggs.

Try them out and let me know what you think- Thanks for reading!
