There are a handful of great steakhouses in the city and most of them are elite members of the Montreal’s culinary landscape that has spanned decades in the restaurant scene; one of these institutions is the Vieux-Port Steakhouse. Located in the historic Old-Port of Montreal, this establishment has been severing and satiating the palates of carnivores for over 30 years. Today, marks the re-launch of the recently revamped Vieux-Port Steakhouse space and identity.
In case you missed it, we are currently in the thick of Montreal’s restaurant week – MTL à Table – an autumn staple where the over 140 restaurants offer special table d’hôte menus at either $19, $29 or $39. An awesome way to discover some of Montreal’s culinary talent at extremely friendly prices. Featuring some of the city’s finest tables, MTL à Table gives everyone from foodies to occasional restaurant diners a great opportunity to visit some of Montreal’s best establishments where they probably usually wouldn’t go, all the while being wallet friendly. I was a guest of Tourism Montreal and had the opportunity to check out one of Montreal’s newest restaurants in Old Montreal, Ikanos.
I’m not Italian, but I feel as though I could be considered a small percentage Italian purely based on osmosis. I can’t tell you (and I probably wouldn’t want to try and figure out) how much pasta and Italian food I’ve eaten in my life. Despite the fact that I already talk with my hands and pronounce the silent “G” in sandwich, the next step towards Italia would be cooking like an Italian. There are cooking classes around the Montreal that offer various cooking and culinary classes, from baking and bread making, to desserts (like the one I attended at the Lincoln Apartment Bakery,) savoury dishes and even workshops. Recently the Leonardo DaVinci Centre in St. Leonard officially launched their culinary class program this month and I was there to check it out.
