Secrets of the City: Montreal

October 14, 2011

Were slightly reluctant to spill some of these secrets, especially if it
means longer waits or bigger crowds, but these hidden gems are too good
to keep to ourselves.


On a good day we think of our brows as naturally Brooke Shields-esque.
On a bad day they remind us of Maggie Simpsons nemesis, the
One-Eyebrowed Baby. We wouldnt go to anyone other than arch-expert Zeina
Ghattas at O Coiffure
and Spa
to keep our windows to the soul well-framed. O Coiffure and
Spa, 4th floor, 1307 Ste. Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-287-8996, www.ocoiffurespa.com


Its not open evenings or weekends, so if you dont work in Old
Montreal you may not have had a chance to try the bright and airy Cluny
Artbar
in the Darling Foundry. Theres a lunch special that changes
daily (lucky you if youre there for chilli day!), but the customers keep
coming back for the scrumptious sandwiches, excellent antipasti platter
and decadent desserts. Cluny Artbar, 257 Prince St., Montreal,
514-866-1213, www.cluny.info


Weve heard about secret menu items at McDonalds (google the McGangBang)
and Starbucks (order a Crunch Berry Frappuccino), but some Montreal
restaurants also keep their best dishes under wraps, including the
not-on-the-menu meatballs at the Westmount Square Taverne and a
hush-hush wine list at lExpress.


Its rare for Montrealers to hit hotel bars in their own town, but if
you want to sip and snack at the same time, head to Les
Voyageurs
in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel to get a tower of treats to
nibble on while you sip your martini and pretend to be a spy. Fairmont
Queen Elizabeth Hotel, 900 Rene Levesque Blvd. W., Montreal,
514-861-3511, www.fairmont.com/queenelizabeth


We walked by Razberry
Boutique
and its sister-store, Boutique 1861 for years without going
in. When we finally did, we fell in love with the adorable dresses, but
it was the piles and piles of memorable statement accessories at very
reasonable prices that stole our hearts. We always go there first when
looking for blingy baubles. Razberry Boutique, 1841 & 1861 St. Catherine
St. W., Montreal, 514-908-1861, www.razberry.ca

    I’ve been taking cbd full spectrum concerning a while instantly, and they’ve sincerely been a game-changer as regards stress and sleep. The excellent part? No grogginess in the morning just a undisturbed, composed sensation before bed. Supplementary, they taste great, unequal to some other supplements I’ve tried. I was skeptical at key, but after consistently using them, I can indubitably bruit about they assistant with unwinding after a sustained day. If you’re looking in the interest of a natural personality to chill without any weird side effects, CBD gummies are significance trying. Just get unflinching you get a eminence trade name with third-party testing!
