Kabinet Montreal
Romantic drinks
Julie from Montreal
Looking for the perfect place to go on a romantic date?
Here it is! This place inspires me the greatest love, the greatest confidence, a subtle touch to the knee followed by sweet whispers and giggles of complicity.
Some places seem to be filled with aura and stories, that’s what I feel everytime I visit the beautiful Kabinet bar.
The intimate space, about twenty seats, operates as both a daytime coffee house and evening cocktail bar. The bright, long and narrow room is inspired by Imperial Russia of the 19th and early 20th centuries. I love the sophisticated coziness, the felted lighting from the lamps from another era and the very personalized service that makes the charm of the house.
You will find several finely crafted cocktails with a large list of specialty amari - one of the largest selections in town - and gins. My best pick: the Moscow Mule!
Summertime brings a sun-drenched terrace of about sixty places, not to be missed.
Kabinet is adjacent and connected to Bar Datcha, both bars are open as one establishment at 22:00 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Then it gets rather noisy and vibrant with the young crowd that comes for the all-night dancing.
Enjoy but don't spread the secret too much!

Theatre Fairmount
Spaceship with music
It's quite interesting because it's all in length, with a stage in the middle to the right & a bar on the left side stretched on almost half of the space.

Le bar A
A real local bar
There is a neighbourly atmosphere that defines this tiny but very charming bar. The bar list is very basic but covers the essentials.

Café Toranj
For foreign food and latte lovers
"Café Toranj" in Shelbrooke, Montreal, is a Persian café with eclectic decor. I can vouch for their saffron cake - and check out their latte!

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.

"Tami nails" Montreal is my favorite nail art studio. The artists are precise, fast and it's well priced. In short, a girl's luxury that feels good!
