Café Chat L’Heureux-Quick Bite

I am not able to do a full review of Café Chat L’Heureux, but I am still going to a mini review, or a Quick Bite. Café Chat L’Heureux is a charming little cat cafe just north of Old Town. As the name suggests, they have free roaming cats wandering around the cafe, some permanent residents, some up for adoption. All the animals were sweet, but I will admit that the kittens tended to be a little more outgoing and they did try to climb on the table a few times (the waitstaff figured it might have been because of the house lemonade, delicious but very pale in color, looked like milk). The kittens really did not bother the other tables as much. If having the possibility of cats on the table bother you, this may not be the place for you, though it was very clean.


The food is really good with mostly vegetarian and vegan options and everything was fresh and delicious. I had a wonderful open face sandwich that was a little messy to eat, but I enjoyed every bite. The entire place had a warm inviting atmosphere, with couches for people and kitty to sit on along with regular chairs. I really liked this place and if you like cats, vegetarian food, or just an interesting experience, this is a good option for you.

Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken

Image
In DC, you will find all sorts eateries, some that specialize in just one thing, like Medium Rare or places that focus on two related things, like Captain Cookie and the Milkman. Then you have Astro Doughnuts. They specialize in doughnuts and fried chicken. Why they decided to focus on doughnuts and fried chicken in a single store, I don’t know, but I am so glad they did. Astro Doughnuts makes some of the best doughnuts and fried chicken around. PB&J Doughnut Their doughnuts come in a wide array of flavors, some that change monthly or for special events and some that are permanent. Their permanent doughnuts are PB&J, Crème Brule, Vanilla Glaze, and Maple Bacon.  Before Astro Doughnut, I thought the idea of having bacon on every dessert was nonsense, but after trying their maple bacon, I understand. It is sweet, it is salty, the doughnut is fresh with a perfect amount of chew and I can’t get enough of it. I also really like the PB&J. Unlike most jelly doughn...

Maison Christian Faure

This hidden gem was recommended to us by the hotel staff and it was one of the best places we ate in Montreal. Maison Christian Faure is a bakery located in Old Town Montreal. It is not a restaurant, but they offer a selection of items you can eat at their shop and have a small breakfast option. They also have a lunch selection as well, but I never had the opportunity to sampled it. Maison Christian Faure is not a large shop, but it is very charming. It can be a bit of a challenge to find the first time you go there, even though it is just off a main street. The decorations reminded me of most modern hip bakeries you can find around any major city, with a mural on the wall, and modern Scandinavian furniture. The staff was friendly and fairly helpful.  We went back there several times and every bite was delicious. The macarons were wonderful, with rich flavors and vibrate colors. Caramel is always my favorite with macarons and this one did not disappoint. I was also fond of the r...

Moldavie

Another spot in Montreal that was highly recommended online was Moldavie and I was thrilled to have a chance to try it. It is located in the center of Old Town, fairly close to Notre Dame. The atmosphere was inviting and while we were there, they were setting up for live music. I had the duck comfit with mushroom risotto and it was fantastic. The duck skin was crispy and the meat succulent and the risotto was perfectly cooked. The only downside for me was the cranberry sauce on it, but that is because I dislike cranberry. I am sure someone who enjoys that flavor would have enjoyed it immensely since the tart cranberry did help balance the dish. The steak was also cooked perfectly and had a lovely red wine sauce and fresh veggies. As you can see, it was so good that we started to eat before taking the pictures.  Normally, this place would have been a 5 star joint, but our service fell apart at the end. The waiter came and said they had a special on plum pudding. W...
