Sonsie is a Boston institution. Located at the funky end of Newbury Street this hip watering hole was very much the epicenter of Supershag,s formative years.
This was deffo the place to be scene
The restaurant became the place for the beautiful people of Boston to hang out but it also had really good food.
As I had not been there for about 5 years I was very interested to see if anything had changed.
So the menu has changed a bit but the peppercorn steak is still there.this was their classic dish and is really good.
I had the tuna sashimi which really is tuna tartar. It was fantastic.
The chicken was also very good.
Sonsie has free Wi-fi and it is great fun to sit in the front of the reatauant and watch Newbury Street go about it’s business.

This branch of the Oliver and Bonacini group is located in the financial district of Toronto. The restaurant consists of a bar, sidewalk cafe, restaurant and outside covered dining area.
Light fixtures in bar are really funky.
Outside was also very pleasant.
So was the salmon .
I also had brunch here which was excellent.
Once again the staff at all the restaurants I visited in Toronto were really good and mostly very funny. The guys here were great.
I will definately go back if I find myself in Toronto again.

Olives
by supershag on Jun.07, 2012, under Beer, Boston, Champagne, Chicken, Cocktails, Coffee, Foods, Music, Parking/Valet, Salmon, Tartar, Tuna, Wine
The flag ship of the Todd English empire has reopened in Charlestown . Not too different from the original but I wonder if anyone else has noticed how the new layout has increased the noise levels. Time for some sound proofing me thinks.
So even though the place is loud the food was great. Very rich a la Todd English but really good . In fact I forgot to photograph the food so it must have good. Please make do with the menu.
.
This place is not cheap but Definately worth a visit.

Juvia
by supershag on May.09, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Cocktails, Free Wi-Fi, Happening, Miami, Music, Roof Deck/Patio, Salmon, Swanky, Tuna, Veal, Wine
Juvia is actually located in the funkiest car-park I have ever seen. It is located at the end of Lincoln Road that is furthest away from the beach.It features
Inside and outside dining.
Hard to describe the atmosphere. It is cool and funky but really feels like an upmarket beach bar/restaurant. Now do not take this the wrong way the place is fantastic and you could wear your tux or shorts( actually don’t know if there is a dress code) and be totally comfortable here.
So what about the food. It was fantastic. Everything we had was excellent and the prices while not cheap were not outrageous.
Short ribs.
Once again make this one of your first stops on your next Miami visit.
I suggest before you leave grab a mojito and savor the night time beach view.
Anchor & Hope
by supershag on May.04, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Fish and Chips, Happening, Parking/Valet, Salmon, San Francisco, Wine
Anchor and Hope is located in an old mechanics shop in San Fran.(very like most of the restaurants in Palermo Soho Buenos Aires)
The space is actually very cool.
The menu was supposed to be an Oyster and Stout happy hour as enjoyed by the good ole Irish folks at home on the old sod. With these prices however I do not think that many of them would be too happy.
Sat at the bar which gave me a good view of the oysters being prepared.
No Chimay but this stuff was very good.

The Pot Belly Tullylish
by supershag on Mar.22, 2012, under Champagne, Free Wi-Fi, Gluten Free, Irish Coffee, Parking/Valet, Roof Deck/Patio, Salmon, Steak, Wine
The Pot Belly is located between Banbridge and Gilford in Northern Ireland
A pot belly is not a fat person from Charlestown but a particular type of stove.one is located in the restaurant and it keeps the place very toasty.
The food was simple but really good.
This steak with the bushmills sauce was great and the cows were happy so that is great.
There was a gluten free menu and the salmon was very good.

XO Hotel Le St James Montreal
by supershag on Feb.14, 2012, under Bellini, Champagne, Chicken Club, Cocktails, Free Wi-Fi, Irish Coffee, Montreal, QC - Canada, Music, Salmon, Swanky, Wine
Another one of my favorite hang- outs in Montreal
On my last visit I spent a lot of time perched at this bar working on the development of the Supershag Empire
The restaurant is very grand but I have never felt out of place in my jeans and t-shirt.
The food is great. The bread is brill.
I always have a latte in a large bowl with a straw and Jamesons . The perfect Beefoe latte. The one that I had here was so good that I forgot to take a photo.so here is the chicken club.
Salmon was pretty good as well.
Always worth a visit.

Cavalli Montreal

Cavalli is located on Peel Street in the heart of downtown Montreal . This restaurant actually turns into a club at 11.pm on a Saturday night.
The place is very swanky and the ambience and music are obviously very club like.
We brought a large group so we sampled a lot of food.
Sea bass main course was fantastic.
Filet mignon was ordered rare nut arrived almost medium.
Swordfish and clams were excellent.
