Le Milsa Has anyone tried "Le Milsa", the Brazilian resto on Bishop where they come to your table with skewers of meat? I tried similar restos in Dallas and San Diego, and quite enjoyed them. Not for solitary dining, though.

A while ago I happened to talk to a pastry chef about using cooked egg yolks in pastry cream (I do it all the time, and it is very safe if handled properly - refrigerated). He told me that he never makes pastry cream that way; his method does not involve yolks. Why? If there ever was a problem...

Surely you must mean Drama Queen ! :p

Europea Espace Boutique Earlier this week, before leaving Montreal, I decided to check out Europea's boutique in Old Montreal. Located at 33 Notre Dame West, it is a small operation selling foodstuff. They have what appears to be a good lunchtime take-out deal where for $9.50 you get a...

Nice recovery there, Dee. :p

Taska? Yesterday I met a few merbites for dinner; somehow I thought I had invited Techman, but it looks now that I did not; sorry about that, Techman. First off I have to apologize for being late; that added a damper to what the rain was already providing. You think it's not possible for...

Thank you, Special K. Your post does not constitute banter; it is more like finding worms in your cereal.

Thanks, Ariane. BTW when you are commenting in general about a long review like that, you should perhaps include only the first paragraph in your quote, for brevity. Quoting the whole review takes up unnecessary space.

The Famed Seafood Platter at PDC On what was a now-rare trip to Montreal yesterday, I was informed by my two travelling companions that we were going to PDC to sample the seafood platter, that legendary summer platter assembled by no less than Martin Picard of Foie Gras fame. We squeaked in at...

Be advised that the "W" requires key card access to the elevators at all tmes.

Marriott Chateau Champlain and Sheraton Centre. They are both centrally located, and both have a bar and restaurant in the hotel.

Complex Desjardins (St. Catherine West, between Jeanne Mance and St. Urbain). $8 overnight (enter after 5pm, I think) and weekends.

I tried Ferreira Cafe once. Had a nice sardine appetizer, followed by their version of paella (I think they called it Portuguese rice). It was more like soup; did not enjoy it at all.

Is it hot or cold? What's in it? Can it be shared by 2 as a main course (i.e. is it large enough)? What's the price?

Europea's Bistro - Beaver Hall I was in Montreal briefly today, and joined another MERBite (Shijak of the Spiffy Shirts) for lunch. Anyone who pays attention to my posts in this thread should know that I have a very high opinion of Europea, so when I read that they had opened a bistro that had...

Casa de Tapas I finally made it to Casa de Tapas a while ago. My dinner companion and I squeaked in on a Saturday night without a reservation. Nice decor, but I wonder who the bonehead was who made the decision to have a glass door (non-locking at that) leading to the unisex bathroom. The...

See if they will do it smaller the next time. You said before that you like "girlie" drinks, so asking for a girlie portion should be no problem :D Seriously, though, 10 ounces would be too much for me too. A lot of people like filet mignon with blue cheese sauce; not me - I agree with you...

Welcome to the club ! :p

So what you in effect are saying is that in 100 years you will no longer be known as a nice guy if you sow bad seeds along the way. Seems strange that the sins of the sons should be the sins of the father. Nero ? Wasn't he the guy in "Fiddler on the Roof" ? :p

You forgot that most noble of Romans - AGRIPPA !!! :p
