Brunch is by far my favourite meal and I am happiest when out for brunch with friends.

Hotel Herman is quite all that, with perhaps room for improvement on some of the dishes, but still a restaurant I would like ...
One of the best meals I've had in Old Montreal was at Kitchen Galerie Poisson on Notre Dame. It had just opened and I was looking for a place to celebrate my friend's BIG birthday (ahem, it was a significant number). So, on the Saturday night of his fête, four of us headed to this ...
With restaurants in New York, Florida, Beijing and Singapore – Chef Daniel Boulud really gets around!
