Location: 3706 Rue Saint-Denis Montreal, QC http://www.nilbleu.ca/ Hands down the best Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been to thus far. But don’t ask me, ask my Mom and Mom-in-Law who couldn’t stop raving about it. And they know how to cook, if you know what I mean. The dishes we ordered were: YETIMATIM SALAD $4.95 (tomatoes, onions, … Continue reading
Location: Outside the Louvre. Paul, the French bakery (since 1889) came highly recommended by our friend A, so when we discovered a kiosk outside the Louvre, we stood right in line!

Location: (Yorkdale Mall) 3401 Dufferin Street, Toronto www.michelsbaguette.com One of my favourite “go-to” bakeries in Toronto is Michel’s. It’s an European-inspired cafe/bakery and there are several locations in Ontario. It reminds me of Paul’s in Paris. No nonsense pastries, sandwiches and cafe lattes. It’s the perfect spot for a giggly group of girls women to go … Continue reading

Don’t judge me. We did it in India, so we had to do it Paris. Eat at a McDonald’s, that is. And it was très magnifique! Gotta love this guy who posed for the picture! Oh we also had a Kronenbourg 1664 beer, but it wasn’t cold enough.
Location: 300 Hanover Street Boston, MA www.mikespastry.com Is it touristy? Yes. The woman behind the counter insisted that we take a plastic “Mike’s Pastry” bag for our box even though we had a bag we were going to put it into. Nothing like advertising by carrying their logo, right? Is it ridiculously crowded, ALL THE … Continue reading
Location: 3 Brattle Street Cambridge, MA www.toryrow.us YOU GUYS, I’VE FOUND MY FAVOURITE FRENCH TOAST! It’s at Tory Row, in Cambridge, Massachussettes! At first I was a little dismayed by it’s small portion size, making sharing all the more difficult. But with the blueberry jam and the New England maple syrup, and for only $7, … Continue reading
Location: 226 Lewers St Honolulu, HI www.roysrestaurant.com After visiting Mama’s Fish House in Maui three years ago, we didn’t think anything could come close.
