I’m a sushi fan. I think that all sushi pieces are work of art. I’m impressed by the talent of the cooks, their dexterity and imagination. I like to sit at the bar of a sushi restaurant, to watch them at work. And I am well served when going to Saint Sushi bar! It is quite a singular venue: managed by a bunch of funny and talented guys, the vibe is a bit gangsta style with rap and hip hop music that everybody sing aloud while calling the sushi and maki orders: “Tupac, James Brown, Bob Marley”. You gotta try it out!
It is a small locale on Duluth street, about 25 seats, with a unique and charming decor designed by the owner, Saeng Outhipvongxay.
The focus is not on traditional Japanese sushi, but playful reinterpretations. You will find a few options for sushi, maki and sashimi, a salad and a soup. Everything is quite affordable. You’re best bet is definitely the tasting menu at $ 25.50 per person. You’ll get to taste a few varieties.
In short, the food is very tasty and the staff is totally passionate, smiling and very friendly.
N. B. Please note that the restaurant does not have a liquor license.

"Léché Desserts" in Montreal hides many promises behind its pink benches and brick building! I recommend getting donuts here and going to watch the trains.

Olimpico attracts the young and beautiful. And Club Social feels like it's been there longer, and remains true to its roots. Both have terrific bombolini!

The cannoli! A crisp shell that shatters a bit as you bite into it, first-class ricotta cheese. Not too sweet. Somehow light and filling at the same time.

Caffe Italia has been popular with Italian families for decades & it never lost the homey feeling. The coffee is delicious. The vibe is welcoming and loud.

The exhibits are free to the public, and very well curated by Isabelle de Mévieus and her team. The converted post office is worth a visit on its own.
