The holidays are just around the corner (I know this because I’ve already seen the stores decked out with decorations and heard a few shoppers muttering under their breath about the obnoxious Christmas tunes) and instead of suggesting a million things you could BUY for your loved ones (don’t worry, I’ll get to that next ...
Salomon is better known for their skis and bindings, but this sporty French company (founded in Annecy) just opened a boutique on Saint-Catherine Street West (between Guy and Mackay) with a wide selection of outerwear and activewear, plus great shoes for hiking and running. I went to check it out yesterday and was happy to ...

EVENT / SUNDAY NIGHT DINNER On the last Sunday of each month, Resto Biarritz on Saint-Laurent serves up a family-style dinner at one long table. Get to know your neighbours while enjoying a very fine meal. I tried their Thanksgiving-themed dinner last month while rubbing elbows with some lovely Plateau-ians and it was incredible. This Sunday, ...
