Montreal’s Italian Week takes place this week, until August 15th, which the more observant of you will notice is actually more than a week.

SOUL FOOD @ KITCHENETTE
Kitchenette is one of those Montreal restaurants that is exists quietly in the hearts of Montrealers who know where to find good food. Located directly across the street from Montreal’s CBC building on René Lévesque Boulevard, the bistro is the premiere lunch destination for the buzzingly busy broadcast crowd.

THE CREPE MAKER: LA CRÊPERIE DU MARCHÉ
Yesterday I was doing my weekly grocery shop in the beloved Jean Talon Market when my tummy started a’rumblin’. It said to me, “Daniel, please feed me something delicious and nutritious!” It’s understandable that I might get hungry in the midst of a myriad of culinary choices that the market offers.

YOUR WESTMOUNT BISTRO: THE CLAREMONT CAFÉ
When it comes to dining in an unfamiliar city, I always look for authentic epicurean experiences. Get me out of the rat race of tourist restaurants and corporate chain eateries, and into a neighborhood bistro where I can actually observe (and participate in) the culture of the city.
