DJNL’s TOP TERRASSES
Montreal is a great city to be in all year round but its an especially cool place during the warm seasons of spring and summer. As the temperature rises and the flowers begin to bloom we take to the parks, bike paths and terrasses, soaking up the glorious sunshine. Our terrasses are second to none…

Self Serve
There’s a lot to be said about getting away from it all. Taking a break from our busy lives to catch our breath and find our centre is essential in finding the balance we need. Leaving on vacation is an excellent way to detach but when we don’t have the time to get out of…

DJNL On The Scene
For the 3rd year in a row, chef Laurent Godbout has treated Montreal to his contemporary take on the classic cabane a sucre menu with Chef à l’érable. The menu is out of this world good (you can get more info on that here) and people from across the city have been lining up since…

An Italian Adventure
We find Fiorellino on a quiet section of La Gauchetière near Beaver Hall where the longstanding structures of Old Montreal meets the sky-scraping new towers of downtown. In the few short weeks it has been open, Fiorellino, a new Italian snack-bar from the guys behind some of Montreal’s coolest restaurants, has been attracting a wealth…

It’s been a little over a year and a half since Rosewood joined the ranks of Montreal’s busy restaurant scene. Part restaurant, part bar and part music venue (no doubt an influence brought to the restaurant by co-owner and Montreal rocker, Jonas), Rosewood has aimed to add a rock and roll element to our dining…

The Weekend Dish
It seems like I’ve been spending a lot of time at the W Hotel lately. This past summer we covered the opulently redecorated rooms that have added a spark of new life to the exquisite hotel. More recently we followed up with Êat, the brand spanking new restaurant that opened in December and serves up…

Depth Perception
When Êat opened last December I called it a triumph and a creative shot in the arm for Montreal’s restaurant scene and that was before I had taken a single bite. Located in the W Hotel, the blended decor felt refreshingly new and featured a mix of graffitied walls that lead into a larger, more…

Grill Master
No matter how fancy food can get, nothing beats a good homestyle barbecue. The scent of grilled meat and spices slowly roasting over smouldering charcoal or sweet, smokey wood get mouths watering like little else. Lattuca Barbecue is an excellent yet surprising addition to Old Montreal’s collection of restaurants because of its simplistic approach to…

Fashion X Art X Food
For the better part of the last few months, Montreal’s W Hotel has been undergoing a little work to help freshen the place up. We’ve seen first hand the wonderful work they did to their luxurious rooms and last week, at one of the biggest bashes of the year, we finally got our first glimpse…

Tommy
Old Montreal is home to many beautiful spaces. New cafes, bars, hotels and restaurants keep finding creative ways to incorporate their astoundingly designed decors into the area’s beautiful old buildings. Tommy is a perfect example of a cafe that looks like it was custom tailored to the Insta-generation. A good looking restaurant is nothing without…
