Julie from Montreal

About me Very curious about new places, ideas and trends. I enjoy meeting new people, share thoughts and culture. I think I can say ‘fascinated about differences’. I work as a web project manager for Radio-Canada and I'm pretty stimulated by the new projects I work on. Travels inspire me a lot.

Pizza Motta Montreal

Tasty Italian food on the go

""Pizza Motta" Montreal is my favorite spot for tasty Italian food on the go. It's a trattoria, bakery, pizzeria, a restaurant and a grocery store in one!"

I can not believe I didn't come to this place before! My surprise is complete and I am so delighted to discover this counter crammed with homemade Italian cuisine! This is totally a food orgy, from antipasto to desserts. Listen to this - then close your eyes and just imagine the smell, the taste, the texture, all the fabulous flavors...

OK so here we go with the dishes :
- Grilled vegetables with balsamic, artichoke hearts and marinated eggplants, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and huge green olives

- Various types of cold pasta salads

- Parmigiana veal scaloppini, fish fillet, stuffed peppers, spaghetti bolognese and meatball, pasta carbonara, arancini, sausages and I forget so many other things...

- A variety of pasta sauces to take away

- A full counter of sweets, cakes, pastries, bread

- Oh! and cheeses, sandwiches, fresh pastas to cook...

Well, Pizza Motta is a trattoria, bakery, pizzeria, a restaurant and a grocery!
You can choose to eat on the spot or take away. It's located just across from the Jean-Talon market. And you can also find various Mediterranean delights sold at reasonable prices.

There is no reason to wait to go! Buono appetito!

Montreal Olympic Park

Sleeping concrete scorpio

The "Montreal Olympic Park" is so big, you can never tell how close to it you are. Its retro-futuristic vibe reminds me of some kind of animal; a scorpion?

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.
