For those who missed our appearance on CJAD 800’s Dinner Rush with Andrea Howick , here is a recording and recap of the interview.

We will be posting a full Mother’s day Brunch article soon, but for now here is some info and tips. As well as a little background on how we got started.

Some of the places we spoke of are listed with a link and address.

Vieux Port Steak House (39 Rue Saint Paul Est, Montreal, QC H2Y 1G2 )
Sain Bol (5095 Rue Fabre, Montreal, QC H2R 2B1)
Les Accords (212 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montreal, QC H2Y 1T3)
Prohibition (5674 avenue de Monkland Montreal Qc, H4A 1E4)
Restaurant Su (5145 Wellington St, Verdun, QC H4G 1Y2)
Regine Cafe (1840 Rue Beaubien Est, Montreal, QC H2G 1L6)
Birks Cafe (1240 Square Phillips Montreal Qc, H3B 3H4)

Every time that spring comes around we are reminded of two things: 1) change the winter tires, and 2) Mother’s Day is around the corner. So this year we would like to offer you some options for that very special person in your life, your mom.

So Mother’s Day is tricky because, although it is the busiest day for brunch, it can be an exercise in compromise and patience. This is something I have had to deal with as well as I try to find the perfect spot for Mother’s Day. Just like there are different kinds of people, there are different kinds of brunches. You have the small personal brunch of 2 people or more, which is simple enough to not need to find a place that can accommodate a dozen people. You have those whose Mother’s Day outings are like mobilizing a small army, filled with various extended families and that require double digit reservations. You also have differing culinary preferences, with those who want something simple and quiet, or maybe even a shiny polished service, while others want an all-you-can-eat extravaganza.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, love is in the air and people start being a little extra romantic. Face it, you’re mid February, the summer is still far away and to be honest, if you forget this day the weather is not the only thing that will be frigid. I always get a few people asking me questions about where to go that would make for a nice little romantic outing. To be honest, finding a spot to start your day on a Tuesday morning is not that easy to find but there are people who will want to start the romance from the weekend so, this can be of help to you.

Birks Café By Europea – A truly refined dining experience

The 411

Fancy, that’s what comes to mind when you think of Birks; that and Bling of course! Now, why would Montreal’s fanciest jeweler show up on a brunch blog? Is it because they gave me loads of free bling? Unfortunately, no. (although if they want to message me, we can talk) Is it because they ditched the whole high end jewelry business model and switched to bacon and eggs? Not that either. It’s because they started offering a weekend brunch in their store. Yes, you heard it correctly, there is a weekend brunch offered inside of Birks on the second floor and not any ordinary brunch; it’s quite the experience. So ladies and gents, make space on your credit card, we’re off to see what Birks brunch has to offer.
