Sue’s gorgeous apartment | morning tea | Montreal bagels in the making
birthday celebrations at Garde Manger | birthday brunch
On Friday evening my girlfriend and I hopped on a train to Montreal to visit our friend. What ensued was a weekend filled with birthday celebrations of the very best kind. Celebrating friends has, no question, become my new favourite pastime. Warm Montreal bagels were enjoyed over tea with grandmothers (theirs, not mine, but I kind of wish she belonged to me), afternoons were spent manicuring (it’s a verb) and after many failed attempts over the last year, we finally managed to score a reservation at Chuck Hughes Garde Manger for a fabulous dinner (it did not disappoint). If there’s one thing I know for sure it’s that I’ve really mastered the art of a good birthday celebration (the secret: a beautiful city, outstanding food and amazing friends).
sounds like the ultimate way to celebrate a friends birthday. what a perfect weekend! x
I agree Sophie!

Sounds fantastic! I haven’t been on Montreal in years, will have to make the time one of these days. It’s so hard when I only go home for a week or so at a time! My mum grew up there and I used to love visiting it with her – lots of great food and shopping ;)
Montreal is a little bit magical isn’t it? I always have such a great time
As a born and raised Montrealer, I can’t help but feel a bit of pride when people visit my city and love it! So glad you had a fabulous weekend! :)
It’s such a great city! I’m so happy that I have reasons to visit
Happy birthday! Thanks for sharing these fun snapshots!
How lovely – I’d love to visit Montreal.
