Montreal, the city review

[Markl]

Was in Montreal yesterday for a bit, coming back there from some time in my hometown. A family member passed away.

Looked around a bit for a MP, but to no avail, and I was short on time. Was staying with a friend and wasn't going to call an escort to his place lol.

None of the MPs there seem to have signs saying they are anything other than legitimate therapeutic places. Seemed odd.

Anyway, as usual, all of the ladies in this town looked like models. I went out to eat with relatives at Gibby's resto in old Montreal. So I'll review the resto.

L: 9 Amazing ambiance, being a former stables forever.
A: 10 Meal was absolutely perfect. Salad was spot on, filet mignon was perfect.
S: 11 Waitress filled glasses and fawned over us constantly.

Service was $$$.20 for 4 with one bottle of wine and desert.
It's a shame Edmonton can't come close to having a place like this. We went on a Thursday night and it was packed. Reservations any day of the week, are a must.

Nice old buildings, character, good transit, culture.. and shopping like mad.
Got a certain someone a gift she'll like.

If you want to go on a culinary vacation and aren't staying with relatives, it could get more interesting.

Hi Mark,

First my condolences, it's never an easy thing but we will have be there eventually.


I LOVE Montreal! What a fantastic city, all the ladies are gorgeous and OMG they surely do dress! Even for groceries they look hawt!

It is too bad you didn't have a hotel room because oh la la va boom! The escorts are oh so WOW!!

 

[Markl]

Yeah Jim, there was one in particular I wanted to take a look at.

Oh well, will be going back in August probably for a bit.

Best Italian Restaurant in Montreal...

Da Giovanni

It`s where the locals get their spahetti fix...(lwarning: line-ups are long but the food is good and inexpensive and servings are big).

BTW: Markl, before you go next time, check out https://merb.cc.

sorry for your loss Markl. Your review was adorable

 

[Markl]

Thanks Kittie. I always remember and think that life is a continuous cycle.
We won't get out of it alive, so we should try to feel alive while we are here.

As for montreal, if I had a similar paying job there, I would move back in a heartbeat I think.

I personally have never bought pasta at a restaurant. Well, I'm lying, I did have this amazing Penne with a bunch of ingredients once.

Generally I prefer my own pasta to restaurant ones. Aside from that, I don't eat much pasta at all these days. I try to keep the bad carbs down.

He must be joking! Da Giovanni is to good Italian food as McDonald`s is to Hy`s.

Try Il Campari Centro or La Campagnolo or Lo Stivale D`Oro.

Why else would they be located...

across from the Greyhound terminal...

You're missing out on some good eats in Edmonton though.

Had the porterhouse at Lux, was good, but nothing compared really.

A good steak is a work of art, there just isn't much culinary art here.

I'm a decent cook in my own right, not fantastic, but I like my cooking. I am passionate about the food I eat. Great cooking is almost better than sex.

Certainly better than bad sex!

How exactly did you make this jump from pasta to steak in this discussion?
There's more tangents in this thread than my math classes from high school.

I hated math in high school. My favourite class was biology.

 

[Markl]

Actually, I was talking about steak originally, in the first post.

3 week old moo moo.

I might be in Montreal later this year and Jordan at Eleganza is on my to-do list. Hotel, strip club and SP recommendations are welcome.
