Montreal Eats

Like the other friends, Clem is a monster foodie. We took Bixi bikes to pick up bagels from Fairmont Bagel. We also picked up a dozen donuts from Bernie Beigne to bring to a gender reveal party later that day.

The donuts were well liked by all at the party. Clem's favourite was the pink one with sprinkles. And this was very fitting since our friend is having a baby girl.

For our main dinner in the city, we went to Liverpool House (by the same folks of Joe Beef). We had a nice salad and potato dish to start.

For Clem's main, she had the restaurant's famous lobster spaghetti. B had the poisson du jour (which was trout). Clem was stuffed after. Everything was delish.

Puttin' on the Ritz

B had a conference in Montreal so Clementine and I tagged along. We had a wonderful stay at the Ritz.

We received a free room upgrade and some sweet treats and fizzy water upon arrival. A nice touch.

Clem felt like a princess sitting on this chair. She enjoyed tea here every morning.

On Saturday, Clem had a leisurely brunch at Maison Boulud. The setting was very nice. We had a table close to a garden and duck pond. Clem's first course was gaspacho.

She then had Quebec char. Clem gave the main course five stars.

While B enjoyed the rooftop pool, Clem had a massage at Spa St. James.

Post-massage, Clem napped at the spa's relaxation lounge. She said she felt like a million bucks after.
