It’s no secret that Montreal’s brunch game is off the charts. From Boozy Brunch at Terrasses Bonsecours in the summertime to breakfast poutines: the possibilities are endless just as bottomless mimosas. Yet, we all know it can be quite challenging when searching for a charming place to have brunch, even more so in the Golden Square

Affiche recto-verso de 27.5 po. x 56.5 po. (69.5 cm x 143 cm) en carton qui a clairement été conçue à l'occasion des jeux olympiques de Montréal (voir le commentaire suivant de Doug Daft, président-directeur général de la compagnie Coca-Cola. Sans doute une des toutes premières affiches de Coca Cola produite en français. Accrochée au mur de la menuiserie d'Adrien Bouthillette et de Simone David de Bonsecours en Estrie jusqu'au 26 août 2006, elle y a été découverte par l'antiquaire Marcel Girard. Hasard ou synchronicité? Cette découverte coïncide avec les fêtes du 30e anniversaire de l'événement. Cette affiche fait foi de l'effervescence de création constatée au Québec par Claude Cossette dans une conférence très intéressante intitulée : Le graphisme est-il exportable? (International Council of Graphic Design Association, Montréal, 1991 ). Les concepteurs se sont montrés précurseurs du marketing social qu'on retrouvera par la suite à partir des années 1990.
The Battle for Mosul World Press Photo of the Year Nominee July 12, 2017 An unidentified young boy, who was carried out of the last ISIS-controlled area in the Old City by a man suspected of being a militant, is cared for by Iraqi Special Forces soldiers. Commissioned by The New York Times Ivor Prickett Ireland FRANÇAIS app de traduction à gauche Visiting a World Press Photo exhibition always moves me to the core as the photojournalists who go around the globe bring us views of the world and of human life that run an equally large gamut of emotions. The above photo for example punches me in the gut. The Iraqi Special Forces rescue this tiny naked little boy. During the press tour we were told by Yi Wen Hsia, the director of the exhibition and representative of World Press Photo Amsterdam, that one of those men adopted the child who, like many other children, was used as a human shield. A few samples of the stories these striking photographs tell us. The exhibition is now open in the Old Port's Bonsecours Market everyday until September 30 2018.

In the center, my homemade mango coconut cake with lime curd. On either side ' tarte au citron' and 'tarte aux pacanes' from two of our well known Montreal bakeries, Au Pain Doré and Prémier Moissan Willie Nelson's lyrics, "On the Road Again" keep playing in my head as I try to sneak one last post before our move back to our place. I've missed my kitchen, as well as our beautiful view of the city that I love so much. However I can't say I'm looking forward to the packing and unpacking involved. Funny how life works out, My friend's visit is also coming to an end as I'm about to head back to our own homestead. A Montreal hometown girl, she is heading back to the States following a whirlwind visit where we shared each other's company and indulged in good food and of course, good wine. After all, what else is to be expected when in Montreal, known for it's great food and joie de vivre! Therefore if I may, instead of posting a recipe, I would like to share some of the photos taken by my friend Marilyn. Just in case you don't hear from me in the next while, I will be thinking of you all. I will take some much needed time to get things organized and sneak in some relaxation. I do hope that in my absence you continue to drop in, and delve into my blog's recipe archives. Until then, I bid you a brief adieu. Marilyn's pics: There is no better way to enjoy the view and the company of old friends than on a terrace enjoying a 5 à 7 which is a Montreal tradition. View from the terrace at l'Auberge du Vieux Port...Yup the circus is in town, that is Le Cirque de Soleil under the blue and yellow top. Looking east, the Jacques Cartier Bridge and to the left the two story Bonsecours Market with its dome More scenes taken in Old Montreal The St. James Hotel an exclusive small boutique hotel favoured by the jet set during the Grand Prix and celebrities visiting our fair city Interior of the Royal Bank on Notre Dame St. Fountain inside the Atrium at Montreal's World Trade Center And no visit would be complete without a detour to Schwartz's Smoked Meat on rue St Laurent. Former Montrealers have been known to have the stuff shipped out of the province so they can they can get their fix of the world's best smoked meat. It's so legendary that a musical play of the same name has played to sold out performances in Montreal Finally last but not least some of the dishes to celebrate good friendship.... Roasted red peppers, made by my friend Ann. Recipe from an older post. Nibbles: olives, lupini beans and assorted breads Homemade pizza with anchovies Linguini with fresh tomatoes, spinach and fresh artisan ricotta added at the end. Shrimps with garlic, parsley and chili flakes
Welcome to Montreal, and the second part of our trip to Canada. While waiting for our visas to be be processed and ready to pick up we decided to head east to Quebec and visit the beautiful cities of Montreal and Quebec City for a few days. We spent the weekend in Montreal and we all fell in love with the place. Such a city of contrasts. North American, yet so European. A vibrant modern city with skyscrapers, heavy traffic and everything that goes along with a big city. Then there's the old town; Vieux Montreal. Cobblestone and paved streets lined with grand public buildings and quaint stone row houses dating from the 17th century onwards. Living in California we often forget just how long ago the East Coast of the USA and Canada was colonised by Europeans. Anything built in the 19th century is old by Californian standards (and similarly by our Australian standards back home) so being in such an old area without having to leave North America is such a treat. We really felt like we had suddenly appeared in a European city. The fact that everything is in French adds to the European feel too :) Our hotel in Montreal was ideally located close to the old town which was our first stop for a spot of sightseeing. We walked the paved streets (which were super bumpy with a stroller - sorry Lola!) and took in the sights of the old buildings and the port. We had arrived a little later in the day that planned and it was quite a bit colder than we'd hoped so we weren't out for too long. After a few hours of exploring it was starting to get dark (and colder!) so we retreated into a restaurant for dinner then back to the hotel for an early night. Montreal's old town The girls always find something to jump off! Such grandeur The girls loved these ornate gardens The flower was their favourite Such a poser! Looking over modern Montreal from the old town Beautiful buildings After steady rain all Saturday night we awoke to sunny blue skies on Sunday morning and headed down towards the port. We attempted to walk out past the port and onto a peninsula that houses Habitat 67, an interesting apartment block built during the 1967 Expo however it proved a little further and less pedestrian accessible than it appeared on the map! It was also very windy and quite cold down by the water so we gave up after a while and headed back to the more built up (and less windy) old town. Habitat 67 as seen from the port. Looks like a jumbled mess in the shot but is actually quite an amazing building. Not sure why the fire hydrants have mini boom gates on them but the girls thought they were hilarious! So many architectural styles in the one spot Old Port of Montreal Four way stop sign Outside Montreal's Science Centre Marche Bonsecours We treated the girls to a horse and carriage ride through the old town. This was definitely the highlight of their trip so far. They loved the novelty of riding in a carriage while cars buzzed past us. It was a great way to see a little more of the old town without having to walk (little legs tire easily) and with a snuggly wool blanket over our laps it was also a much warmer way to go! After the carriage ride the girls fed our horse, CeCe some carrots and gave her lots of pats. Done with the carrots, CeCe then moved on to trying to eat Ava's hair! Hello CeCe Ava chats to CeCe before our ride Ready to go Lola and I in the carriage Feeding carrots to CeCe after the ride After our ride I love that the carriages are called Hippomobile! A quick stop for a lunch of crepes and then we were back to walking the cobbled streets of the old town. So many cute cafes Feeling a little Parisien Lola found some friends to gossip with Lola found her very own boutique! The parking signage proved a little confusing at times! Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal Art deco styling Copy of the Pantheon Could this be the pink poodle Lola has been wishing for? It's not pink, but it could be Cathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde As expected the day grew colder as it wore on so we made use of our rental car and headed off to see some of the not so old sights in Montreal. First up we headed to the top of Parc Mont Royal for stunning views over the city. Can Ava see a close up of her eyes? Ava and I at the lookout No feeding cute raccoons Looking over Montreal Then we decided to head out to the islands of the river for a look at Habitat 67 and a few other sites from the 1967 Expo. Much easier than our attempt to walk there this morning, even with all the detours that we were forced to take due to roadworks. Montreal sure has a lot of roadwork going on at the moment! While driving across the islands (man-made for the 1967 Expo) we also stopped to check out the Biosphere, another remnant of Expo. Now this is the point in the conversation where everyone starts to make Pauly Shore jokes, but let me just point out that that was Biodome (not sphere) and Montreal actually has one of those too! Alas we didn't have time to visit the Biodome (where Pauly Shore is sure to live, right?) but I have heard that it's amazing so we'll have to put it on our "must do" list for next time. Habitat 67's module based apartments Biosphere One last stop and one last Montreal Landmark: Parc Olympique, home to the 1976 Summer Olympics. The drawcard here for me was the Montreal Tower which stands at a gravity defying 45 degree angle above the stadium. Visitors can ride to the top of the tower in a funicular and take in the views over the city - something which we planned to do not realising that it's closed in the evening. I'm sure the views over the twinkling city at night would be beautiful. We really enjoyed our time in Montreal and hope to come back again another time, ideally during warmer weather!
