Unfortunately, a couple of days after Christmas Ali had to leave. It was wonderful spending Christmas with her, and I hope to go see her out west sometime soon!
The day after Ali left, Laura arrived in Montreal. Patrick was also in town, so we started thinking about New Years plans.
The night Laura arrived was the night that Dave was taking me out to dinner for Christmas in Old Montreal. We got all dressed up and went to this amazing restaurant called Le Saint Gabriel. First we went out for a drink with Laura and Patrick in the area. The walk was extremely cold, but it was beautiful outside. Old Montreal looked like something out of a picture book. Everything glittered with fresh snow, and the icy cobblestone roads shone. The restaurant was beautiful. It was a really old building, with high raftered ceilings, dim lighting and a huge, blazing fire burning in an open fireplace. The host took our jackets and moved us to a lovely table. It was a great experience. The food was lovely and different to anything I’d had before. They made this amazing cocktail with vodka, grapefruit and maple syrup which sounds weird, but it was delicious, and something you would only find in Montreal. Of course, the company was the best.
After dinner, which took a few hours, we picked up Laura and Patrick and went to beet Caroline and Ben at this place Ben Kunde on St Denis Street. We were lucky enough to get a table and stayed for a couple of drinks. Great night.
