Holiday Party at Restaurant La Girolle

This is our second time attending the holiday party for my hubby's work. Last year, we had a nice time at a restaurant in Sillery, but that restaurant went out of business just a few months before, so this year they decided to have it at the restaurant La Girolle in Saint-Foy. As it turned out, it was also a very nice place. The food and service were both very decent, and it was BYOW (bring your own wine), which is great for a big party to cut costs!

The night we were there happened to be the biggest snow storm of the year, but nonetheless the restaurant was filled as we entered at 18h30! (And I'm not counting the people from our party at all!!!) They offer a pretty sophisticated and varied French cuisine menu, although people who don't eat a lot of meat may be left with not so many options. 

I can't really say much about the atmosphere of the restaurant, since we were sitting in a private room in the back the whole time. It was cozy but not roomy. Even though the restaurant is located in a less touristy area--and something tells me that it is also a little bit under the radar--it's worth it to give it a try if you're in the mood to taste some authentic French cuisine. We're certainly going back!

iPhố Express (越南快餐店)

Ne soyez pas dupé par leur nom en pensant que c'est le fast food. C'est effectivement le contraire! On offre un menu avec de délicieux mets vietnamiens authentiques, un service impeccable, et un endroit très confortable pour s'asseoir. Nous sommes très heureux d'avoir trouvé cet endroit charmant. Peut-être après avoir lu ce post, vous aurez envie d'y aller et que vous l'aimerez autant que nous!

We passed by this new restaurant earlier this year when it had just opened. Very often when the name starts with "Express", right away, it tells me that it might be a fast food franchise, and for someone who doesn't quite support either fast food or franchises, the name didn't really sit well in my head. (We were glad to find out later that it's not a franchise, nor is it your typical fast food!) On the other hand, they have this really nice, simple, modern decor, which is very attractive and convincing to me. Next thing I know, we were eating at the restaurant! (Don't ask me how it happened...)

Discovering L'Affaire est Ketchup

Nous sommes allés à L'Affaire est Ketchup pour célébrer une occasion spéciale avec un ami, et le repas était incroyable! En plus du ce repas délicieux, il y avait une grande sélection de vins. La serveuse était impressionnante: le volume de sa voix, qu'elle a mémorisé tout le menu, et son énergie! Tout le monde était très sympathique, et l'on nous a donné des shooters gratuits. On était très heureux d'y aller et c'était tellement agréable!

黛黛食記 - 『北平 . 喜來順』

某微風栩栩之夜，乘著老媽牌小綿羊經過了一家人聲鼎沸的餐館，好奇心驅使之下，
立刻跳下車(喔! 不對! 下羊..)手刀衝到餐廳前(好危險，姐姐有練過，小孩子不要學喔)
拿了張Menu，想說日後有機會可以帶倆老來吃吃看(拎杯真是孝順的好女孩兒)。

「愛」，就要表現出來，千萬不能等!!
所以.. 馬上選定了週六中午，帶著倆老開心的前往用餐.. (是說貪吃同樣也不能等啊捏)

雖然價格不怎親民，但人山人海的場面，菜色也的確頗有深度，是說.. 很成功的收服
了寬以待己嚴以律人的我，以下便是當天吃下肚的美食，上菜囉~ 各位!

咖撐才剛沾到椅子，都還沒坐熱，服務員就以跑百米的速度送上小菜(好多盤好可口)，
