Last week one of our favorite restaurants, l’Atelier d’Argentine, celebrated it’s second anniversary in Old Montreal. It was a star-studded event that saw the restaurant packed to the rafters with celebrities, media and friends of the restaurant! We were on hand as the wine flowed and delicious empanadas and other canapés came out of the…

Whether you’re part of Montreal’s media, an excited social scene staple or one of our city’s always sharply dressed, party hopping celebrities, chances are you think you’ve seen it all. Sure there are the gallery openings and album launches and those you-had-to-be-there moments all year long but nothing compares to last night’s roof blasting party…

Montrealers take their steak very seriously so it’s no wonder that when Vertigo held its VIP opening event a few weeks back it was standing room only for most of the night. Jam-packed with local celebrities, excited foodies and an exclusive selection of Montreal’s socially savvy media, the night launched Vertigo into Montreal’s ever-expanding kaleidoscope…

Last Thursday night at the Merchant Royal’s summer launch, they threw a bash celebrating their exclusive new beer, the Royal Lager. The delicious new beer is brewed and bottled specially for the tavern by Montreal’s very own celebrated brew masters, Bierbrier Brewing Co. The night drew select media, local celebrities and beer lovers from all…

7:30 in the morning might seem like an ungodly hour to some while to others it means a routine arrival at the office. This morning at 7:30am we were on our way to Diesel’s flagship store on de la Montagne for Montreal’s first ever pancake breakfast hosted by Canada’s very own celebrity chef, Chuck Hughes. A…

To start, I’m not going to make any references to Pandora’s box in anyway (besides that reference, of course) in this recap. I suspect that tired cliche will be cleverly worked into many an article about Montreal’s newest cabaret. Instead I am going to get right down to business on Pandore and I why I…

Anchored at the edge of the Old Port is Montreal’s latest and sure to be coveted address, 5e Quai. The project was inaugurated last week during a celebrity attended cocktail ceremony, hosted by Viriginie Coossa (pictured below). Day Jobs and the Nightlife was there to get all the details and some great shots from the…

The DEVIMCO Group is changing the face of Griffintown. Over the next 10 years the quickly developing, downtown adjacent neighborhood will be revolutionized with state of the art condo towers, shopping, eating and drinking. Simply put, the area will be livelier than ever. Check out our recap of the night featuring tons of exclusive photos!…

The Grand Prix weekend was one the craziest yet and part of that craziness was celebrated the official Grey Goose party at Jargo. With its official opening held only a week prior to Grand Prix, the freshly opened restaurant received hundreds of guests at the hotly anticipated party. Located in Hotel 10 on the corner…

For the 3rd year in a row, the SDCVM (Old Montreal Business Development Corporation) has gathered together a selection of top partners for their annual District Party. With a focus on networking and good neighbourliness, the SDCVM throws this cocktail every year to kick off the summer season and features some of the best the…

Le Richmond in Old Montreal has been open for less than a year but in that time it remains the talk of the town and one of our city’s most frequented restaurants. During the Grand Prix weekend, they officially opened their terrasse and we were there for the red carpet opening event and an unveiling…

It was a black tie affair last Friday as the Ritz threw the party to end all parties to celebrate Montreal’s Grand Prix!

Philippe Starck has made quiet the name for himself around the globe as a both a innovative designer and as an architect; most of us probably have at least one of his creatively designed objects in our homes at this very moment. Known for pushing the envelope of what design means, he is about to…

Last Thursday night, Montreal’s social scene gathered at Le Cinq on De la Montagne for ICRF’s (Israel Cancer Research Fund) third Annual Taste for Life fundraiser in support of Cancer research. The Montreal hotspot was bursting at the seams with local media, foodies, VIP guests and more getting a taste for what some of Montreal’s…

High atop Newtown, on the corner of Crescent and Maisonneuve, we find Le Balcon, a bright and spacious rooftop terrasse with a million dollar view of downtown Montreal. We were present last Friday evening during Le Balcon’s highly anticipated big opening night and we were not disappointed. Lawrence Picard has done it again with a…

Summer is here folks. Terrasses are popping up around the city like fresh bloomed flowers and signaling the warm season ahead. We were present at the opening of the La Coupole terrasse located in the quietly ornate Le Crystal Hotel. We enjoyed fresh cocktails and local wines while oysters and hors d’oeuvres were passed around…

Last week we attended the one year anniversary of La Champagnerie on St. Paul East. Of course champagne of all sorts flowed throughout the evening as we devoured beef and salmon tartar, fried shrimp, arancini and oysters. We witnessed the sabering of a 9L magnum of Moët et Chandon (pictured below) while numerous other bottles…

The rain came pouring down last Thursday night as Scarlet Exclusive opened its door wide to the public for a VIP sampling of what they have in store. The red carpet was rolled out and Scarlet’s VIP guests for the evening were treated to wine and champagne while platters of smoked salmon and oysters floated…

Last Tuesday night we were invited to the unveiling of the new Spring/Summer menu at Ryu, a swanky Japanese restaurant on Laurier near Park. Together with top industry insiders, various (and very cool) media and excited foodies the night rolled out slowly as we were treated to selections from the menu. A plethora of seafood…

Last Thursday evening we attended the launch of Terrasses Bonsecours summer event program, 100 Days/100 Nights, that will surely draw crowds all season long. Here’s our take on how the night went down. Terrasses Bonsecours is a unique venue in Montreal with a bistro, a club, VIP booths and bottle service for thirsty Montrealers and…

Last week we attended the media and VIP opening of Labarake on Rachel in Shop Angus. Without even having served a single plate, excitement and anticipation for Labarake has been quickly growing over the last few weeks. The restaurant is so freshly opened that you could still smell the varnish on the wooden tables when…

Montreal is a special city made up of many cultures. Montrealers shift between French and English and numerous other languages on a daily basis with greased ease at a mesmerizing pace. Though Montreal’s streets, restaurants, bars and other venues have more bilingual ease, our theatrical entertainment has largely remained divided between the solitudes. This past…

This past Wednesday a select number of Montreal food enthusiasts and media gathered at the Phi Centre in the heart of Old Montreal to sample the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Legendary Montreal based caterers Agnus Dei and the internationally renowned Francois Chartier have come together to create a truly innovative tasting menu with the…

This past Monday 3 friends and I hiked up to Little Italy to engage in a very special Royal Canadian Monday at Pastaga (#RCMPastaga for short).

Last night I trotted out to the Scissor Sister concert at the Olympia theatre on St. Catherine Street.  I didn’t really know what to expect as this is the first time I’ve ever seen them live.  I’ve been a fan since they were taking their mama out, all the way back to 2004 but after last…
