Mom had her moment last month. Now, it’s all about the perfect day with dad.
11 a.m. Whether he’s a third-wave coffee connoisseur or a Folgers aficionado, Café Myriade is the perfect morning pitstop to fuel up for an action-packed day. Café Myriade, 1432 Mackay St., Montreal, 514-939-1717, www.cafemyriade.com
11:30 a.m. Unless pa is particularly dapper, Ogilvy may not be on his radar. But when he slips his feet into the Chester boat shoe from Ugg Australia ($170) and you tell him that the brand was at the Grand Prix last weekend and hosted the likes of David Desharnais, Kris Letang and good-luck-charm Ginette Reno, he’s sure to be as smitten as he is stylin’. Ugg Australia, 1307 Ste-Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-842-7711, www.uggaustralia.ca
1 p.m. Those spiffy new shoes were made for walking, so take a stroll down to the Palais des Congrès, home to the Mondial de la Bière Festival for a beer-tasting extravaganza! Mondial de la Bière Festival at Palais des Congrès, 201 Viger St. W., Montreal, http://festivalmondialbiere.qc.ca
3 p.m. With award-winning pulled pork, ribs and brisket on the menu, we can’t think of a more father-friendly spot for a late lunch than our beloved Blackstrapp BBQ (the eatery made our list of the city’s best restaurants this year). Blackstrapp BBQ, 4436 Wellington St., Montreal, 514-507-6772, http://blackstrapbbq.ca
4:30 p.m. Before parting ways with daddy dearest, hand him tickets to a concert at the Jazz Festival, a Just for Laughs show or a Rogers Cup match. We’re fairly certain that it’ll be just what he wants: more time spent together. —Christine Laroche
