New Year’s Eve at The Cardinal

New Year’s Eve with the loveliest of ladies at Leanne’s restaurant, The Cardinal.

We drank all we could, no problem.

Leanne Hebert-Nguyen – 22 years old and the most effervescent restaurateur in East Village. We’re so proud of you, our gorgeous girl! This is your year.

Laurel, Ioana, and Kelly.

Chef Curtis Brown donning a different hat.

I know, right? Every single bite will having you exhaling ‘oh. my. god.’

Best fried chicken you’ll ever have in your entire life. Real talk.

Obviously, we drank in moderation.

Dream girl.

Dunzo.

Now your turn.

L’Avenue du Plateau

L’Avenue down the street from our Montreal apartment had a serious line outside every single day for brunch. So naturally, we had to join the sheep herd and try it for ourselves.

Record label menus.

Reunited! M&Ms, Marissa and Maria.

Another favourite ‘M’ of mine, Mimosa.

This is what I ordered. The mushroom thing. I can’t remember what’s it’s actually called on the menu because my memory in French isn’t as good as it is in regular human.

Everything was in huge portions! And my god. The fruit skewers… so good! The taters, not so good. Bit too heavily greased and seasoned. Eat those last if you have the room.

L’Arc-en-ciel. Smoked salmon benny.

Wisconsin, Paris, and DC in the house! Kelly, Christophe, and Reyhan.

The Mediterranean. I ordered this the next time – usually comes with feta. Eggs, tomato, spinach, and cheese. So fresh ‘n so good. Line up is well worth it!
