Weinstein and Gavinos is located on Crecent Street right Un the heart of the upscale shopping section of Montreal .
I would describe it as an up market bar and is one of my favorite lunch spots .
The bar is really well stocked and the interior could be described as rustic cool.
The food is not of the scale but I very good.
They were also very accommodating with the gluton free meal that was requested. The custom cooked salmon was very good.
So if you are shopping and feel the need for lunch or an early afternoon meal this is a great place to visit.

Sucre Buenos Aires

Sucre was the second restaurant I visited in Buenos Aires and it really seems to have maintained it’s popularity. The space is very large and open with minimalist decoration and soft lighting. It gets very noisy so if you want to listen to the great soundtrack get there early (before 10). The kitchen opens into the restaurant so if possible get a table overlooking this. The bar is very well stocked and is located underneath a suspended metal walkway that leads to the restrooms (this definitely brings out the inner cage dancer of some patrons).
The food is simple but excellent. The swordfish and octopus were as good as I have had anywhere.
The restaurant is a little of the beaten track and is quite pricey by Argentinian standards but once again well worth a visit.
Gran Bar Danzon Buenos Aires

One of the great bars of the world which actually serves great food. Never been disappointed. I had the Mojito V. S. made witch Congac and topped with champagne, it is a must try if you stop in. The sushi was really good we had the California and Vegetarian rolls. Osso Bucco was outstanding along with the Salmon/Sole Ceviche. To follow suit with the overal Urban downtempo the wine list was presented on an iPad much to my entertainment. Make sure to make a reservation for Gran Bar Danzon prior to arriving. If you take a taxi to this hotspot be sure to tell them the entrance is 1161 Libertad between Santa Fe and Arenales or you may circle the block a few times as their is no sign. The vibe reminds me of Sonsie in Boston, always busy and great for people watching. Bar Danzon offers free wi-fi which is very handy when traveling abroad. By far a Buenos Aires must do.
