The last full day of this mini vacation: the wind picked up and the temperature went down forcing me and my tour guides to move indoors to the "underground city." Not, of course, before having lunch at one of the downtown hotspots topside.
Deville, a crazily pink diner with grotesquely oversized portions that none of us expected or could possibly eat in a single sitting.
Not a lot of opportunity (or vistas) for pictures in an underground shopping concourse but fun and exercise all the same ... all in climate controlled comfort.
A "dinerbar". Was there an explanation of the term? The menu looked pretty upscale for a "diner".
ReplyDeleteSpring break is over? It doesn't start for another week around here.
Richard, spring break isn't over here, just my mini Montreal vacation. Next junket - to Ottawa after some scheduled car repairs.
DeleteThe diner bar is an up-scaled bar dressed as a diner ... not your basic burger and fries joint.
Oh!, So you still have another vacation coming up!
DeleteStill have time off and another mini vacation to Ottawa before the week is done.
DeleteWith those food portions - are you sure you weren't in the USA?
ReplyDeleteNo kidding ... I didn't make it half way through half of the burger. It was one of those times when I wished I had gone for the salad but it turned out to be huge as well and filled with waffle chunks.
DeleteKaren:
ReplyDeleteDeVille has a sort of Cadillac ring to it. I love burgers. I am salivating just looking at that photo.
Is "B" carrying your purchases ? I like Pink and I also notice those Pink shoes
You'll have to go back in warmer weather to explore the topside

Shopping in a climate controlled pedestrian zone? No wind chill to endure, no traffic to overcome. Sounds like a good plan.
ReplyDeleteThe pile of food is not something I would have expected to get in a 'French' city.
Sonja it's a French 'Canadian' City ... they like their comfort food.
DeleteBob the burger would have been right up your alley. It was called the fat cat and I thought it was going to be a pulled rib sandwich - had no idea it would also have two oversized beef patties. It was rather 'Cadillac-ishly' over the top. PS don't think you would have enjoyed the price.
