Eggspectation

 We were in Montréal last weekend to celebrate my niece's first holy communion and also to celebrate Mother's Day. Montréal is a city where they have the expertise in breakfast places or brunch as what we call in Toronto. One of the pioneer in such breakfast food restaurants is Eggspectation. What did we expect in Eggspectation? Well, more eggs cooked in different kinds. I ordered one of the best in Montréal, the eggs Benedict with Montréal smoked meat with fresh hot coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. I loved how the eggs were cooked and their hollandaise sauce was the perfect kind. Other members of my family ordered the Québec speciality, breakfast poutine while the others remained traditional with the American breakfast and the french toast with the Québec maple syrup. Montréal never fails to feed us well.

La Belle & La Boeuf

 Another treat from my brother was lunch at this Québec original, La Belle & La Boeuf, a premiere Burger bar in Montréal . This place combines both cool interiors and super unique menu plus burgers which equates to I love this place! What more can I ask for? This is a one place stop for drinks, poutine, and my love of anything burgers. On the menu, they even have a Crise Cardiaque burger, Heart Attack Burger, that is everything triple - triple beef, triple cheese, triple bacon, mushrooms, onions, tomato and BBQ Sauce, all arranged on top of each other, as high as you can. Eat it the best way that you can, the fastest way you can, the more you can and it will be free. Lastly, before you leave, check out the coolest Ladies washroom. This place is definitely the beauty and beast for burgers in Montréal.

Not Exactly Petit Déjeuner At L'Oeufrier

 As you can see from my stories here on the Blog, I come from a family that loves to eat together. We love to discover different kinds of food every time we travel everywhere around the World. My late father instilled this love of adventure and eating together whenever we travel. Even at home, we love to discover the different food places around us. My brother, who lives in Montréal brought us here at L'ouefrier which specialises in breakfast served in a big, grand and delicious way. We ordered the works as we started our day with double eggs, scrambled eggs, omelet full of cheese and ham, sausages, bacon, french toast, fried potato and last pièce de résistance, crêpe with strawberry and banana topped with nutella. To back up all these food, of course, we had endless coffee, some had chocolate shake topped with whipped creme and for me, a fresh smoothie of banana and strawberry, called Bora Bora. Well, everything was delicious in this not exactly petit déjeuner diner.

 
I ordered the Le Gros Gourmand with bacon, sausages, fried potato, scrambled eggs and crêpe with banana and strawberry topped with nutella.
