Stay Here If You Can

VICTOR – Le Germain, Toronto

by on Oct.16, 2013, under Dessert, Free Wi-Fi, Restaurants, Stay Here If You Can, Swanky, Toronto, ON - Canada, Vegetarian, Wine

Victor restaurant was a pleasant surprise for my stay at Hotel Le Germain in Toronto, it really held up to the five star experience the hotel gives.

They offer a tasting menu and al la carte, as well, if you are headed to the theater they have an option that will give you the full experience with a faster turn around.

We ended up ordering a few options across the menu so we could have a variety of tastes throughout the evening.

‘Little Portugal’ Lobster and Chicken Cataplana, chorizo, rice and saffron

The night finished with a tasty takeaway left by our waiter of caramel covered popcorn squares.

The space is small and gets really busy as the night goes on, I highly recommend making a reservation at Victor Restaurant in Toronto’s Hotel Le Germain so you can ensure you’ll be able to get in.

Asia de Cuba is one of my fav places to eat in Los Angeles.
Located in the funky Mondrian hotel it offers inside and outside dining.

The food is Cuban fusion and is outstanding.

Calamari salad is the signature starter and is a must. It is a big portion so can be shared.

20130502-121730.jpg
Tuna pica is also excellent.

The view of LA is incredible .

20130502-121959.jpg
The mojitos are very good as well. Especially the mango .

Salmon was great.

20130502-122420.jpg
So was Cuban chicken.

The steak was so good that I forgot to photograph it before I started eating.

20130502-123208.jpg
The wild decor almost has an Alice in Wonderland feel.

While this is not a cheap place it is definately worth a visit.

Hotel Gault Montreal

by on Feb.14, 2012, under Montreal, QC - Canada, Stay Here If You Can

My fav hotel in Montreal.

20120213-192347.jpg
Located in the heart of Old Montreal I believe the building was a YWCA at one time.

20120213-192555.jpg
The hotel is very small and the rooms have a very loft like feel.

20120213-192700.jpg
The level if service is fantastic . Nothing seems to be too much for the staff.

20120213-192838.jpg
The hotel is dog friendly , has a small gym ,is very contemporary but retains a certain old world charm.

Red Resto and Lounge Hotel Madero Buenos Aired

by on Dec.15, 2011, under Buenos Aires, Cocktails, Gluten Free, Salmon, Stay Here If You Can, Sushi, Swanky, Tuna, Wine

As we were staying at the Hotel Madero seemed only right to check out the in house restaurant of celebrity chef Stephen Jung.We had the salmon and tuna and when they heard part of our group had a gluten allergy the promptly accommodated with a sushi menu. It was ok but nothing to write home about. The one thing that is really good though is the cocktail ‘Un Hombre’. The drink is sweet and almost like a dessert by itself.
