  I wonder if these are just the ones willing to pay for the “exposure”?

  I don’t see a clear statement from CultMtl on that, but generally paid exposure is supposed to be disclosed. One of the companies using the titles of “Supported Content”, “Custom Content” and “Advertiser Content”.

  Influencers in Canada are also required to publicly disclose. So with no indicator, we have to assume that either it’s on the up & up and they know the laws on disclosure (because they want to avoid the fine).

  After looking at the list and the restaurants that I have been to, from the list. I can certainly recommend Manitoba, la Prunelle, Maison Boulud, Damas, Maison Publique, Joe Beef and Liverpool house, though most of these places are on my once a year list because they are expensive. Except for la Prunelle, most of these places are quite outstanding and if I was rich… would visit more often. But alas, I’m not.

  I can highly recommend Alma. They make the best grilled fish I’ve ever had in my life and some really delicious small dishes made with seasonal Quebec vegetables. Their terrasse is also fantastic and unusual, being right in the midst of a residential part of Outremont. And they’re one of the lucky restaurants that did well enough during the pandemic that they actually expanded next door, which means their terrasse is even bigger than it used to be.

  For the most part, though, I’m most looking forward to the simple pleasures of being able to linger over a coffee or a beer at one of my favourite places. I’ve overheard my neighbours talking about how much they’re looking forward to sitting outside on the Social Club terrasse…
