Last night's dessert. Crazy delicious banana caramel ice cream paired with a disappointing cake... The name was so misleading! It had some combination of the words 'raspberry' 'chocolate' and 'mousse', so I was expecting a lovely chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries in it... but no, it was a chocolate cake with raspberry mousse. Nooooo...
Action packed day in Montreal. So much walking, so much eating! First was breakfast - sauteed veggies for Charles, french toast for me. Energy for all the walking that we're about to do!
Wandering the streets, there seemed to be a lot of stuff going on! First we stopped by this store dedicated to mushrooms (mushrooms, mushroom products, mushroom books, posters, earrings, cards, kits, galore!). There were some food stalls up and down the streets too we didn't eat any paella but it looked good!
Lunch was at a lovely cafe in old Montreal. The decor, atmosphere, food was all great - definitely my kinda place! I had 'the pomodoro' - Quebec field tomatoes, garlic and fresh herb mayonnaise, red onions and P.E.I. cheddar - and Charles had 'the goat's cheese' - caramelized onions with goats cheese served with a homemade ketchup (that was bomb.)
Dinner was at that Japanese place again. We tried a bunch of new stuff, it was all so good! Grilled salmon head, okonomiyaki, nabemono, tuna tartar and the best soft serve icecream!! We had to wait a while in line, but we got a seat at the bar (where you can see all the action) and stayed late enough to talk to the chef himself! He was a hilarious guy...
We already had ice cream after dinner, but the smell of the waffles were too powerful. Also, they had boardgames! Such a foodie day :)

ZOO TIME! Finally got together with Lianne and Megan in Toronto. We made a trip to the zoo! It was so much fun. This was my dinner (not the best looking) after a long day of animal watching. Megan and I also grabbed bubble tea but I was catching a bus so I didn't manage to take a pic. It was tasty though!

Trip to Ottawa! Wander the market we had sandwiches from an Italian grocery store. Focaccia ftw!We also picked up some yummy local chocolate - dark chocolate with caramel and fleur de sel :) There are so many shots of the same sandwich, but I wanted to put up the ones where my phone's camera went weirdly blurry. It looks like a dream!
The second day we had dinner at this Mexican place and grabbed a treat from the market :) Blueberry flaaannnnnnn
