    I think I am still hungry because the poutine is calling me. I was in the Bay Area over New Years with my Son and his partner who are both gluten free and vegan. The searched on-line for vegan shops and came across a poutine shop in a mall just outside of Stanford / Palo Alto. We went to the mall for their last meal before surgery and the shop was permanently closed. I am still missing my poutine fix for the year.

    These restaurants all look so good! The food at Regine Cafe looks so fresh and I love the presentation too. Would also love to check out the Chinatown dumplings spots, and the poutine suggestions. Great post!

    Montreal is truly a foodie’s heaven! I loooove the smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz’s. I would go back again and again despite the long line. I’ll need to check out Chinatown next time when I visit!

    Oh lord the mouth is watering like a river. You know how to eat well! I think my main would have to be for the dimsum down in Chinatown. God why is it so good?! Also as a sidenote I shouldn’t post so publicly…I’ve never tried poutine. Hmm, don’t judge but how do I change this while living in Australia?
