[stop 4] Montreal - Eggspectations

Bf loves eggs, also breakfast! so he jumped at the idea of going to Eggspectations...  though I told him that all brunch places will have eggs.

Eggspection is an chain restaurant... so I did not expect to see anything new...

We got to the restaurant at about 10am, but I did not expect the place to be packed!!! there is a huge line up of about 10 people ahead of us! luckily, it went quite fast!

[stop 4] Montreal- Reuben's Deli

and we have returned! 

the last time we came to Montreal, we simply loved their cheese cake! so weeks before our second trip, bf was nagging me to make sure we have time to go to the restaurant again!

the restaurant in question would be Rueben's Deli 

Reuben's Deli
location: 1116 rue Ste-Catherine O, Montreal, Quebec H3B 1H4,

phone: (514) 866-1029
average spending: $20/ person
atmosphere: old Italian style decor
taste: 8/10 (best cheesecake ever)
service: 8/10 (the waiter was very charming)

There really is not much to say about the place, it really have not changed since my last visit 3 months ago.... the servers was just as nice, and the food is just as good!

obviously we ordered cheese cake cause we came for it!!! it's $6.29 per slice.
because we were both quite full and, their portions are just huge.. my bf and I only ordered one plate! not knowing what are their signature dishes, we ordered something that was shown on their wall... I mean, I has to be good if it's displayed on the wall!!!

it was a surf and turf... it took me the longest time to figure out what does surf and turf mean, and for those of you who are still wondering, it's a dish with a meat item of an animal found on land, (ie. pork, beef, lamb etc) and something from the ocean (i.e. seafood)
it was quite good actually, it came with a huge salad, great for anyone who loves veges or is on a diet, not so great if you hate veges and is not on a diet... but I eat very little, so we were both stuffed afterwards!
and of course!! there is the strawberry cheese cake.. really nothing else to say about it!!! just pure love, rainbows, ponies and everything nice! lol

[stop 3] Montreal- illuminate Montreal

So after all that food... it's time to tour the streets of Montreal! it's quite beautiful really, despite how winter dulled its colour palette. I am really thankful for the weather we had, cause I was really not expecting much when I decided to visit Montreal in early February, it was 1-2 degree Celsius! but of course, I also dressed very warmly!

While we walked down St. Laurent road, we saw this guy with some really long hair!!!! it's like really really long! I personally do not have the patience and the hair quality to grow my hair to that length, so I was thoroughly jealous!!! though I do not wish I had his hair... 

just some random fun things I came across ~
