*Edit January 2010* : This coupon is expired – it was good until April 30th, 2009, but am leaving this up for reference purposes.

OK, it’s lunch time so I thought it appropriate to share a most tastey promotion that Harvey’s is having for their delicious Angus Burger series of hamburgers. Until tomorrow, April 30, you can get a second Angus burger for free when you buy one.

Note that while the photo on the coupon shows an Angus Mushroom Melt, the fine print clearly states that it is valid for any Angus Burger – at participating restaurants.

I used this coupon at the Harvey’s located in Boucherville last week and 2 Angus Burgers with bacon & cheese as well as a large diet Coke came out to about $9 including taxes. Sweet deal if you like real grilled burgers dressed the way you like!

29 Oct 08 Jambalaya Fettuccini from Boston Pizza the day after … mmm…

Well, I just finished what was left of a (really large, in retrospect) portion of Jambalaya Fettuccine from Boston Pizza in St-Bruno (near Promenades St-Bruno)… It was a treat from Oma, err, my mama, after a busy day of continuing the varicose vein surgery convalescence and cheering on Tristan at his MAGH-3 / Novice hockey trials.

Anyhow, the Jambalaya was delicious!…..

I’m still looking forward to trying out the pizza at Boston Pizza, as it isn’t exactly a bargain price: $13-26 for pizzas…. and as a colleague had reviewed in the past, he found spending $25 for a pizza over lunch a bit pricey.

Soft drinks are $2.99 with free refills. They offer wine by the glass at about $7.50 per glass, or $30-35 per bottle. The wine pairing suggestion with the Jambalaya Fetucinni was the Two Oceans Shiraz – I had tried this during the Montreal Jazz Fest at the SAQ booth and liked it quite a bit.

28 Oct 08 October 28 : First snowfall in Montreal for 2008 – 2009 winter :)

Well, after a day of meeting with school staff for Tristan, then a couch-served yummy omelet with potatoes & onion, then nap, then novice hockey level evaluations and tryouts for Tristan… finished up with Jambalaya Fetuccini at Boston Pizza ….

and watching a bit of the Habs win againts the Carolina Hurricane in a close match that finished 3-2 for the Canadiens in a second overtime shootout…

it is now bedtime and * snowing * in Montreal … OK wet snow, perhaps we won’t get the 10-15cm that Ottawa got…. we’ll see if tomorrow is white morning :)

06 Oct 08 Mi Ne Sushi in NDG Montreal : An undiscovered sushi goldmine bargain ?

So, after yesterdays nice meal at Restaurant Azie in Varennes, the SO, or perhaps DSO mentioned a fantastic (and apparently delicious) sushi lunch she enjoyed somewhat on the run.

I did one of those high speed investigative bits on Yahoo!, Ask, Live and Google and found out it’s Mi Ne Sushi at 7315 St Jacques Street and she had a large Maki combo of 12 pieces (2” in diameter!), a Miso soup and small salad for $10.11 taxes included. Sounds like a real steal considering the quality.

Now I’m itching to try it out myself.

This Google map showing the address of Mine Sushi is interactive (i.e. drag it, zoom it, etc..)

Obligatory tech comment: the Mi Ne Sushi website is decidedly Web 0.5 with (!) frames…. but alas, it has the requisite information including a scan of their menu!…

M:BRGR Logo

M:BRGR started by 2 partners ; Lenny & Bruce who has the famous Moishe’s steakhouse in his family. This is a trendy burger, umm, joint and it looks interesting.

This stylin’ burger joint opened on January 15, 2008 (nice date!) was voted Best New Restaurant in the Montreal Mirror Best of Montreal 2008 survey of Montrealers’ favorites.

It’s located right downtown at 2025 Drummond near de Maisonneuve:
