When Nadia G. — host on Cooking Channel and Food Network Canada — isn’t chillin’ out in the LA sunshine, shkoffing her way through town, and working way more than she should during her time off, G. calls Montreal home. If you’re ever in her neck of the woods, she guarantees her three favourite Montreal spots for breakfast, lunch, and dinner will leave your taste buds humming from all the fantastic food.
Keep up with all of G.’s shenanigans by visiting her on Facebook, Twitter and her website, BitchinLifestyle.TV.
Breakfast
Lawrence: It's the only breakfast joint in town that serves scones with clotted cream. If you haven't tried clotted cream, do so immediately. It's kinda like mascarpone with chunks of fresh butter in it. Mmm.
Lunch
Laika: It has the best Beef Tataki in town — beautifully aged raw beef, seared to perfection, served up with a deliciously salty, nutty sesame-soy sauce. Outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching, or people-bashing (depending on how many ciders you've ordered).
Dinner
Pastaga: Don't let the name fool you; it's a French resto! Aside from its brilliant (and affordable) wine list, it has crispy pork belly served on a pancake, drizzled with maple syrup. Need I say more? Didn't think so.
Drinks
Laika: Not just for lunching, Laika also doubles as a great place for drinks after work, too!
