Trip to Munch-réal Part Deux: Galiano's
1/30/08
On our first night, we were taken to this fancy Italian restaurant in Old Montréal called Galianos. The atmosphere was very old-fashioned Italian with a modern touch. So that means an impressive wine rack by the entrance, brick walls, dimly lit tables and trendy deco. So I walk in rocking an Arc'teryx shell and Jordan Vs like they never see this clientele. I expected some opera or traditional Italian music but I could've sworn I heard some Rihanna through the speakers. All in all it was an amazing meal. Definitely one of the highlights of our food quest.
Anyway, on to the eating part of the story:
One of the best Italian breads I've consumed.
Fried Zucchini = Crack
Manicotti on Mushroom & Rose sauce.
Keeping tradition alive (word to Avi Gold) Gnocchi on Mushroom and Rose sauce.
Hello Hazel enjoying the Manicotti.
One thing I always tried to do in life was imitate the mafia lifestyle. After a big Italian meal I would order a mini cappuccino espresso style because I had identity problems and wanted to look cool. Okay I'm totally joking however I found mini espresso's to be some what "cool" and enjoyable. Never been that into the coffee thing although I know most people who live in Canada are all about it. Recently paid my friend H. Sacks a visit and he told me all about his recent investment an Espresso machine. It was also kinda cool to see how this machine functions and the variety of capsules you can purchase to go along with your machine. Mr. Sacks told me about how the espresso accessories and capsules were displayed in France and it sounded as if it was on a next level. If your a big entertainer I'd say purchase one of these to please your guests, once they see colors and options they have no option of refusal. 
12 choices to pick from..
In this picture above you see myself and little Demi, if you didn't know little Demi is basically like my little sister. Ease back fellas she's only 16!!! Haha any how she told me that she is the creator of a treat called "Chocolate Bark". Unfortunately she wouldn't reveal the recipe however I got some great photos and taste descriptions for all you to witness.
Chocolate Bark is a a mixture of pretzels, nuts and chocolate all combined to give you both the pleasure of sweet and salt mixed together. It's definitely a unique taste brought together that will keep you wanting to snack for hours. If you have allergy problems I would not recommend this, however if you enjoy trying new things and have a sweet tooth then this is all you.Birds eye view shot of these sweet snack.
If you look closely you can really see definition in the almond nuts (pause) and have a better idea of what ingredients would be required.
Each piece is uniquely made... Good job lil' Demi
For most guys theirs nothing better then popping a cherry!!! (Okay that was gross I'll start over) Friday evening I went to a close family friends place for dinner and the food was top notch. For desert we had the usual ice creams, cakes , etc.. but we were also fortunate enough to have a bowl of Cherry's! Really enjoyed the texture and natural sweet provided from this tantalising fruit. At times I seem to think Cherry's can be underrated but then I realize how wrong I am i.e. Cherry Coke etc..

In almost every city I have ever traveled to, there has always been a souvlaki or pita spot that claims its authenticity in Greek cuisine. And although they all serve equally satisfying meals, I have never tasted such perfection as I have at Toronto’s own Messini Authentic Gyros. Situated in the heart of Danforth, people can experience the city’s greatest tasting Gyro while dining in a comfortable, well-designed atmosphere.
If you visit Brooklyn or plan on visiting Brooklyn Joe's Superette is the place to get an authentic taste for Brooklyn food as well as culture. Founded in 1960 Joe's has been serving Carrol Gardens with the infamous rice ball.
