Pullman is the place to share very good food with friends until very late... the wine card is just fantastic! Full of discoveries... oxidative wines (Jura and other countries), orange wines and private importation from the Vesuvius in Italy or even from the Canary Islands... CRAZY!!!

Caffè Italia is an institution in town and was the first Italian café to open in Montréal in 1956. The decor probably hasn't changed much since then. Definitely one of my top favourite places in Montreal. Their panini is worth the detour - I have rarely had such a great one, probably the best in town, if not of the whole province !

Falco is a really nice Japanese coffee shop focusing on siphon coffee. It's located in what use to be an industrial part of the Mile End but is now mostly creative businesses. It's one of my favourites place to work or have meetups since it's huge and pretty close to my studio.

Recently discovered Tri's restaurant in this lovely lively place near Laurier metro station. Tri Express is the place for delicious - and affordable - refined sushi and chef's specialities. The decor is great too ! Some of you might have heard of Trì Dư because of this hilarious video of him preparing a Royal clam on a TV show that went viral a few years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrtyIqSzoYI

Mutli-generational family owned businnes, established in 1932. One of the best folks in town.
