Arts, Culture and Entertainment in Montreal
Resurrecting the reverie of Paul Revere this foodie’ call to arms is reverberating throughout Quebec this week as we celebrate Annual Poutine Week.

BYOB’s are, I believe, unique to Quebec and Montreal definitely has its fair share offering a wide selection of cuisines. Their obvious attraction is that they allow us to cut down on the size of our bill and let us splurge on that special bottle of wine we’ve been eyeing and longing to try without […]
