I’d argue it’s quite an impressive show!

My writing sessions at Fushia Épicerie Fleur have become a weekly ritual: to the point that it’s currently my favorite eatery/ café/ workspace/ hangout in Montreal. In fact, I’m sitting here right now.
Every day, Fushia serves a daily meal worthy of the healthiest diets, including a floral tea and a homemade desert…for $10!

Montreal is home to the biggest film festival dedicated to art, in.the.world. That’s right. 230 films from 23 different countries. Each year, FIFA, as we Montrealers call it, presents the most prestigious films dedicated to art.
