""Biiru" in Montreal is a very cool looking bistro, a Japanese eatery with a respected menu On the funkier side, the Japadawg is one my favorites."

Japanese food is going on strong with many spots opening one after the other in the city. Biiru has been open for almost a year and is now already a well respected Japanese eatery, located downtown in the Quartier des spectacles.

With its generous terrace and its high ceiling indoor space, Biiru is a very cool looking bistro with an exquisite menu. They now have an original Ramen that has a local twist to it, cheeze! But other classic dishes like the karaage, the okonomiyaki and the chirashi are really worth the trip.

On the funky side of things, the Japadawg is definitely one of my favorites, a kind of shrimp and pork sausage sandwich. The trendy music is just loud enough, ranging from jazz to house music, and the drinks amazing, all to make this spot a fun one for everyone.

About me Some will tell you that I’m a designer, others a DJ. Some will tell you that I garden too much while others will point out that I should stop posting photos of my food all the time. I also heard that I’m a wine enthusiast and a good cook, that’s nice. Some still think that I have a band, which would be nice actually. But these days, I spend hours in my studio, making music for the dance-floor. I guess that’s why they invented the moto jack of all trades, master of none. Totally me. Why Montreal? After travelling quite extensively around the world...

Campanelli

Coffee source

"Campanelli" in Montreal has nothing inherently special about it - it's just the coffee place I visit on my way to work! I do like the crowd here, though.
