What crazy weather we are having this winter... it is seventy odd degrees here in Burlington, VT. It is f*ing March! We went to Stowe Friday and skid in 45 degree rain. My special lady and I were able to meet up w/ our friends LB squared and head up for a lovely weekend in Montreal. We stayed at the Palace de Armes in the old town and it was quite nice. There were some snafus for us w/ the room type and the room charges but we were able to get sorted out into a large king room w/ huge windows overlooking the city to the north west. It was comfortable and clean. There were some typical stops that included ill advised late night Absinthe and a hockey game that ended w/ a fantastic and dramatic extended shoot out. We had sushi at Kaizen that was referred to as the best sushi in Montreal. It has a ridiculously priced sake and wine list. On the high side! The sushi itself was good but we all agreed we liked Sho-dan better. It was a little more inventive and I thought the Sho-dan fish was slightly better. It was still quite good.
Another high light was the Dieu du Ciel brewpub. They had about 18 different brews on tap and the couple I tried were quite good. The light ales were really nice and the India Cream Ale was like a cross between Heady Topper and Guinness. A creamy slap in the face if you will. But good. You know what I mean. The pizza we had was alo pretty good.
