BreakfastClub_Brossard


Breakfast is my favorite meal.  I love going to different breakfast places every now and then and try new dishes.  Today I met up with a friend and went for breakfast in Brossard at The Breakfast Club.  I had never been there before but she suggested that we go there since she goes there often.  I was really craving brioche but they didn’t have it on the menu.  The waitress who was serving us was very friendly so I asked her if they would have brioche.  To my surprise she said they did but its not in the menu as its considered a side order.  I told her I just wanted warm brioche with bananas and lots of English cream.  She checked with the kitchen and said no problem.  It definitely made my day.  I was really looking forward to it but was not content when I got my meal.  Brioche was not warm enough and was to dry.  I did manage to get extra English cream but it still was not what I was hoping for.  And now I am still craving for warm brioche with bananas and English cream.  I am hoping to go for breakfast again soon at some other place and hopefully will find something to fulfill my craving.  At The Breakfast Club the service was amazing but I was just not content with food.  I do plan to go back and try something different, maybe something they already have on their menu to get the real taste of their food.

Elixor_Brossard

So recently I went to Elixor Restaurant at their new location in Dix30 in Brossard, Quebec.  Beautiful restaurant and amazing service but its all about the food for me.  So I was in a mood for something delicious and filling but leaving some space for desert.  Their menu has many options and something for everyone.  I was in a mood for tuna, so I ordered Grilled Sesame Tuna Rare, well-done, from their Fish and Seafood section.  It was not exactly what I had expected.  It was tasty but not necessarily filling.  It came with white rice and vegetables, but was very dry so I didn’t eat that part.
I was also in a mood for some desert, so I ordered, Big Bill’s Barbarous Pie.  And let me tell you, it was beyond delicious.  It totally made up for the tuna that I didn’t really enjoy. Yummy Yummy! And the hot fudge and almonds on the cake just made it all better. I would go back just for this desert.

So next time you are at the restaurant, make sure to have this desert for sure.

Portovino_Cannoli_Montreal


Desert always brings a smile on everyone’s face. Next time you are in Montreal, make sure to visit Portovino Ristorante and try the best Cannoli in town.  Just like the menu describes it, sweet creamy ricotta with chocolate chips stuffed in a crispy shell.  By far is it one of the best cannoli’s I have ever had and is definitely worth every cent.

Introduction


A lot of my friends tell me that I should start my own blog because I love to talk and share my experiences.  But, I kept asking myself one question, “What can I blog about?”  To narrow down my topic I kept thinking about what do I like the most and what is it that people ask me about the most.   There were many different topics that crossed my mind, but then there were two things that made the most sense...Food and Travel.  I love food, and I love to travel!  I don’t travel as much as I want to but when I do, I make the most of it and love to talk about it to help other people plan their travel.  I don’t eat meat but enjoy everything else that I eat and am always willing to try new dishes.  Through this blog I will share my experiences and hope that I can help people make some best choices from the menu at the restaurants and offer some travel tips.  I am always open to feedback from people who read my blog and am willing to take suggestions of any new restaurants they want me to visit and share my experiences.
