Pretty Cupcakes & Such @ Les Glaceurs, Montreal

We found Les Glaceurs when we needed a place to keep dry as it started raining. Upon entering, the bright colours of the place hit us and perked our mood up immediately and it was only then we noticed that it was a cupcake & gelato parlour (we had ducked into the place without looking).

We ended up ordering a few cupcakes and chilling over a few cups of coffee.  They do provide a sitting area for customers to enjoy their goodies and were glad we discovered this place by chance.

Charismatic Canada - Montreal Part 10

We were in Montreal during the Les FrancoFolies De Montreal, an annual music festival that usually runs late July till early August.

It has hundreds of performers staging shows throughout the day/night in the vicinity of Centre-Ville.  Most of the shows are free while some bigger names would require tickets. Here are some of the sights in Montreal along with some shots of the festival.

Where do I go?

McDonald's - The Montreal Way

Restaurant Basilic, Montreal - Pan Asian Goodness

Canada continues ...

We moved on to Montreal and stayed at Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel for the next 2 nights.

Hunger struck! As usual :o). Our first meal in Montreal was at Restaurant Basilic; a "pan-asian" restaurant (as they call themselves) in Chinatown which has a rather mixed menu (there's Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese!) with reasonable prices.  We ordered a mixture of some Vietnamese and Thai items and we enjoyed the fare here, so much so we actually dropped by again on the second day.  So, check Restaurant Basilic out if you ever in Montreal.

Hu Tieu Kho Name Vang $7.95 (Dry noodles with Shrimp & Pork).  Lovely springy noodles and the shrimps were fresh.  It's served with a bowl of soup on the side.
