Hella

When I finally got around to getting out this morning, the weather was rather yucky. There was a light wet snow coming down. But that didn’t stop me from heading out down Rue Sherbrooke towards a new neighborhood I hadn’t yet seen in Montreal. After reviewing several picks on montrealfood.com, I found a little place called Ty-Breiz that sounded good. After a good 45-minute walk over there, I sat down and ordered up a hot coffee to thaw out.

I chose a ham, cheese, and egg crepe which came with my choice of soup or salad. I opted for the salad without garlic. It was a very simple dish of butter lettuce with a house dressing that was fantastic. At first I wasn’t sure I liked the dressing but it quickly grew on me and I could have eaten more of it and made it my entire meal.

The crepe itself was sweeter than I expected (at least compared to the savory crepes back in Philadelphia at Beau Monde). It was quite tasty and the serving size was ample. I decided to save room for a dessert crepe, though, so I ended up not finishing the main course.

For the dessert, I had a small sweet crepe filled with bananas, strawberries, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. I must say that I’ve been spoiled by what I’ve been getting back home. While this one was good, it didn’t really hold a candle to the milk chocolate, white chocolate, honey, banana, and ice cream combination I usually order up. It still made for a very nice meal.

After I left the restaurant at lunch today, I snapped this shot of a dog that was totally dressed for the weather. Quite a sassy pooch!

I chose to walk back differently than I went and came back through part of the McGill campus. After passing under the football stadium, I walked up a long hill and then back down Rue Peel to the hotel.
