Campanelli Montreal

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."

It's difficult to write about a coffee place, because it's a just a coffee place. But providing good coffee isn't an easy task. I chose Campanelli for the simple reason it's the closest from my place when going to work and/or being late and in the need for a coffee to survive.

After a few weeks, I started to observe and like the crowd stopping by here. It's a mix of sporty and early bikers on the way to the canal and people like me going to work. And  in my case, I'm often not completely awake while ordering my warm drink there, so I'm always grateful to the friendly staff to be able to decipher my wish - a wish usually deliver in a mix of French and English or an obscure zombie language... But it's working, I'm always leaving this place with a smile on my face, a coffee in one hand and very probably a pastry in the other hand.

Finish him! Me-style kick! Hadouken! Shoryuken! If you’re familiar with these phrases, odds are that you're a gamer, or at least played a video game or two in your life.

Saint Sushi Bar

Wanna eat some Marvin Gaye sushi?

"Saint Sushi Bar" in Montreal is not a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant - rather, its focus is on playful, hiphop, 'gangsta' reinterpretations.

"Bílý Kůň" Montreal is my favorite friendly local bar .The curiosity? The 'taxidermy chic' effect! The walls are adorned with heads of stuffed ostriches

Kouign Amann

Did you say 'butter'?

"Kouign Amann" Montreal Chocolate is a charming little outdated and colorful decor bakery, and we don't want it to change! Try their raspberry Danish.
