Reubens_Montreal

I love going to Reubens.  They have everything on their menu that you can think of.  When I use to work in downtown long time ago, I use to go there every Friday with some friends.  The service is great and food is very tasteful.  They have increased their prices but with the amount of food that we get, its totally worth it.  I never knew that they now have breakfast.  I went with some work colleagues for breakfast and was amazed by the menu.  Because I was limited with time, I had something very simple; two eggs with french toast.  I did find the french toast a little dry and not as tasteful as I would've expected.  I have had better french toast in other places.  I do plan to go back for breakfast and try something different.  If you are in Montreal and want to have awesome smoked meat and much more then Reubens is the place to be.

BreakfastClub_FrenchToast_Brossard

Made another trip to Breakfast Club in Brossard and my experience was way different this time around.  I was craving something sweet and chocolaty so I ordered, french toast with bananas, chocolate chips and english cream.  OH MY GOD I can still taste the english cream.  It was delicious.  It was a perfect combination of warm french toast with cold bananas and english cream topped with chocolate chips and powder sugar.  Made to perfection.  I did ask them to put extra bananas since it is one of my favourite fruit.  But I am sure even if I wouldn't have, it still would be very filling and satisfying.   I highly recommend this dish for people of all ages.  You can order this with either waffles, crepes, or french toast.  You will go home very satisfied regardless of what you pick.

EggStyle_Dix30

I decided to take my mom for Mother's Day breakfast.  We went to EggStyle in Dix30.  Neither one of us has ever been there so wanted to try something new.  But the experience was not what I had expected.  The wait time and the service was good but the food didn't meet my expectations.  I had Bagel Lox but it didn't taste fresh at all.  The Salmon didn't taste good, and there was way to much cream cheese, and the bagel had a very unusual taste as if it was stale, and the potatoes were cold.  My mom on the other hand had ordered fresh toast and she was very satisfied.  I do plan to go back and try something different to get a better idea of their food, but this experience was not good at all.

Marianos_Chicago

Let me start by saying WOW.  I was in Chicago last week for a few days for a wedding and went to Marianos Market in Chicago Downtown for lunch.  I was amazed from the second I walked in.  They have everything under one roof.  I was amazed to see fresh fruit area which serves fresh fruit juice (fresh orange juice is the best), bakery with freshly baked deserts, salad bar with many choices, olive bar with all kind of different olives, sushi area where you can get sushi to go as well as a sit down area to enjoy sushi with a glass of wine, hot served food area which serves freshly baked pizza, pasta, soup bar, all household groceries, wine and other alcohol, flower shop, cafe, and much more.  Initially I thought they only have one location but as I drove to different areas in Chicago, I saw other locations.  I highly recommend a visit to Marianos next time you are in Chicago.  I promise you will be amazed with everything they have to offer.
