Restaurant reviews: Add Ssense and Colette cafés to your shopping list - most famous restaurant dishes

From London's magnificent Harrods food hall to the fashionable food of Barnes & Noble department store in New York, department store food has always been a pleasure.
The Monterey people have always enjoyed such an honor. , that still-
The closed decorative art palace is a microcosm of this type, and the classic Woolworth lunch counter is a distant but interesting memory for those of us who watch and buy ice cream in Perret (
Ask your parents).
Despite the apparent demise of the department store, the super brands that sell Prada shirts and L'Oreal skincare still have a place in our city, followed by trendy restaurants that provide food for hungry fashionistas, or entertain those of us who know Manolos, who are not our personal footwear choices, but to visit the victims of the hurricane
There are two cafes, one is new and the other is half. new.

This stylish cafe is located in the new 1906 of Old Montreal and cannot be the branché Ssense global flagship store, which has won since its early opening thanks to its avant-garde design and talented operators
It looks modern-art-meets-concrete-and-
Steel, from the front of the original 1866 facade.
As soon as you enter the door, you are told to go upstairs.
On the second floor, you meet clothes (
Think $600 and $1,500 Alexander McQueen hoodie).
On the third and fourth floors you will find locker rooms and consultants/individual shoppers.
Finally, on the fifth floor, you will see a series of art books and a considerable bunker --
Like the Ssense cafe.

Great frame space.
There are 34 seats in the bar and a central public concrete table.
A recent hot visit
Wave day, I appreciate the Sun's performance in the lighting scheme, creating stripes on small windows on the ceiling.
Thro's hot air is definitely fighting with the air conditioner, but I still think the effect is very attractive.
The menu is equally tempting, with Kabir Kapoor and Jason Morris being the most creative Le fantme me Restaurant and the recently opened one (
Not yet reviewed)Pastel.
I just love their style, and the best description is to reshape the classics and push them to a delicious level.
There are a few on this menu as well, but more subtly, there are eight delicious dishes and three desserts.
Upon arrival I found a sparsely populated room with only one waitress on duty.
She handed us the menu and let us know that there were a few dishes not available due to the reception the night before. Bummer —
But we tasted five, and we started with two.
Juicing drinks: beets, cypress and pomegranate juice, carrots, orange juice and coconut juice.
Put on the ice, the juice is very good, although the carrot juice will not be so bitter if the carrot is peeled (
$8, too much peeling of carrots, not high requirements).
We ordered three dishes, one radicalized salad, one shrimp salad and one shakshuka, which unfortunately took us about half an hour to show up.
Our waitress also has juice on duty, which means the service is lagging behind throughout the meal.
Considering that there are six people in the restaurant, this long wait for lunch time is frustrating.
What is brighter is that the dishes look exquisite and are generally attractive.
The shrimp salad features shrimp slices, peas, celery and bean sprouts with a hint of mayonnaise.
Everything from the look and dressing to the technique shown in this dish is perfect.
Radicsalad salad is made up of complete radicleaves leaves mixed with pomegranate seeds and small spinach, and the whole salad is seasoned with white balsamic vinegar and coffee grounds.
I'm a fan of bitter flavors, but the hard work of the radical is overwhelming for half the time in this salad.
Sadly, shakshuka did not really fly.
On a large piece of soft bread, a red tomato sauce and a green tomato sauce, and two slowcooked eggs.
I like to kick in shakshuka and I also like some drops of egg yolks that blend into the sauce to enrich all the acidic flavors.
This version is nonsense.
I saw a coriander leaf floating there and I was wondering why not eat some cheesecake and dessert, a small cheesecake and a rice pudding full of chocolate bread because of both
The cheesecake is made of a tin box mold with crushed frozen cakes sprinkled on it
Dried fruit like jellyO powder (
This is a good thing).
As for the choux bread, although apparently not fresh that day, its delicious coconut/cinnamon flavor preserves its dense texture.
My feeling about the Ssense cafe is that it is not fully in place yet due to service issues and some unexpected gaps in the food.
Hopefully this talented team will be able to get the food ready soon
Worth setting up.

At 2005, Holt Renfrew, the stylish Montreal department store, known for its top-notch merchandise
The gap imported fashion, adding a new name to its designer roster: the most famous bread poil ne in Paris.
With the acquisition, Holt cafe has launched a new menu that includes open-
Grilled sandwich called tartines.
I love this new incarnation, but over time the concept of tartine seems to have disappeared as calmly as their avatar
Specialty food stores.
Unfortunately, importing bread for $14 a quarter may even be Holt's, especially in a city full of delicious bakers like us.
Post poill'ne, apart from feeling like an oasis of fashionistas during lunch break, I have no impression of the place.
But on last December, I received a press release announcing that Holt renfreu was working with Toronto.
Headquartered in the Chase hotel group, the new Colette cafe replaces the Holt cafe across Canada.
The restaurant will be "French restaurant"
Inspiration and photos of the release show a French country design.
After arriving last week, we got the cafe of old Holt, not France.
When the restaurant was re-opened in the parade, the art on the walls was the only change to the decoration.
When Holt enters the Ogilvy space sometime in 2020, they will arrive.
The menu is new, however, and it offers one of the most popular mixed foods without falling into the fields of poutine and mac 'n cheese (
After all, this is Holt's. .
There are steak/fried, poulet ti, omelet and Italian salad but also kale salad, Burger, rigtony, panzanella and inevitable
So much has been done for the Gaolu overhaul.
I think it's the French definition.
From-cough, cough —Toronto.
As for drinks, there are some expensive small commercial wines, and six $15 cocktails, which we didn't have a few while there due to the lack of ingredients.
In addition to the hotel group's beverage program, this is not a wine list.
We chose two salads, one Panini salad and one dessert.
Sipping lovely non
Alcohol Basil/lime/cucumber cooler, I fork into my friend's chef salad with smoked bacon, apples, avocado, grapes, quinoa and walnuts.
It may sound a bit too healthy, but it adds enough blue cheese dressing to tie them together.
Highly recommended.
I also enjoyed my roasted pear with hazelnut and arugula, seasoned with lemon vinegar.
A little goat cheese is popular, but it is also enjoyable.
Next is chicken, fior di latte, tomato dessert and aioli with garlic sauce.
To be frank, the ingredients used are to please others, and although the results are not avant-garde or surprising, they are still satisfactory.
In the end, we chose the crushed rhubarb and more ice cream.
Very good but there are too many crashes.
After the quick checkout, thanks to the friendly and efficient waiter, we went back to the stairs and back to the sun, while new shoppers came down to snack, tidied up the items, and looked at some of the bills, decide whether to go upstairs or get more in a day.
