Allo toi 😊
Ordered a ton of samosas, a crispy golden triangle filled with spiced potatoes and peas, for a potluck. Potluck got canceled. Guess it’s samosa for lunch, samosa for dinner, and samosa until Christmas. This is my life now. 😬 #MaisonSamosaExpress #Montreal

My Sunday is objectively superior. While the rest of the world was doing cozy brunch, I was out here feeding alpacas, negotiating snacks, and achieving peak emotional wellness. No regrets, only fluff. 😊 #MaisonBohemia #Montreal

Marc-Alain Félix's diptych, "Adam Clyde & Bonnie Ève - 2022," is a powerful and graphically raw work executed in acrylic and oil pastel on wood.

That beautiful orange hue. Pouring a glass of Pierre Frick’s ‘Voyages’ 2019, a ‘Pur Vin’ from Alsace that tastes of pure sunshine and earth. Love finding these unique, biodynamic treasures. What a perfect sip for a cozy night out. #PichaiRestaurantThai #Montreal

This is The Cathcart in downtown Montreal, where the vibrant indoor greenery flourishes directly beneath the PVM’s iconic glass ceiling. Today, a blanket of snow on the outside creates this breathtaking, soft light effect filtering down onto the Biergarten below. #Montreal

See the stains on his snout?
No, he’s not an abused dog.
He just licked the last bits of stew straight out of the pot.
Now his face is greasy and he smells like dinner.

Innocent. Deliciously guilty. Very husky. 😒 #Montreal

The Nutcracker ended late… so she watched it the only honest way possible: eyes closed, heart wide open.
No judgment allowed, we’ve all fallen asleep during a ballet at least once. Even the Nutcracker stood guard while she dreamed. 😌💙 #LesGrandsBalletsCanadiens #Montreal

Starting a new tradition with my niece. St-Hubert chicken first, then off to The Nutcracker ballet. Comfort food, excited smiles, and that quiet joy of knowing we’re making memories before the curtain even rises. 🥹 #RotisserieStHubert #Montreal

Fvckrender’s Insecurity (2024) turns vulnerability into a polished weapon. The gilded sphere feels both precious and dangerous, a core trying to defend itself with spikes that only highlight its fragility. #Montreal

The world is muffled now, a quiet white expanse,
Beneath the heavy sky, a silent, deep trance.
I look upon the trees, weighed down with snowy lace,
And feel the hush descend upon this familiar place.

Holiday season is two weeks away, so I’m already on my festive diet: one cappuccino, three macarons, and zero regrets. Matcha, lychee-raspberry and candy-cane… my kind of winter workout. 😬 #PointG #Montreal

My street looks like it’s being scouted for a low-budget gothic sequel, but honestly… I’m living for this corvid cameo. The neighbors are terrified; I’m just waiting for my honorary crow membership card 😬 #Montreal

Jonathan Villeneuve’s Le spectre des Lumières (2018) turns a simple corridor into a quiet piece of science-fiction. The installation manipulates light like a living material, shifting perception as you walk, almost as if the architecture inhales and exhales around you. #QuebecCity

This turquoise triplex carries the quiet beauty of Québec’s vernacular architecture. Built in the early 20th century by local craftsmen rather than a formal architect, it reflects the city’s tradition of stacked galleries, wooden railings, and practical winter-ready design #QuebecCity

A beautiful, quiet moment on Rue du Petit Champlain. It’s more than just a picturesque street; this corner of Old Quebec is often called the oldest commercial district in North America. Walking here is like stepping back in time, a truly humbling winter journey through history #QuebecCity

The old Bank of Montreal building glows against the winter sky, a 1909 Beaux-Arts landmark that once guarded the city’s wealth and now stands as one of Old Québec’s most beautiful architectural survivors. Stone, columns, and a century of stories, quietly shining through the cold. #QuebecCity

Brunch with heart at Le Nadia, Montréal’s first women-focused sports. A space where everyone belongs, where great food meets powerful moments in women’s sports. Community, comfort, and representation on the screen and on the plate.

At Marianne Fest you can call Mere Noel… she picks up with kindness, listens without judging, and somehow makes the cold feel softer. 🎄🥹 #ChurchoftheHolyRedeemer #Montreal

Pinard & Filles, À Ciel Ouvert 2023. From the Magog, Quebec, a Jura-spirited Frontenac Gris with twelve months on lees and zero interference. No fining, no filtration, no added sulfur. Just pure, oxidative elegance with a streak of bright freshness, a little wild cloud captured in a glass. #Montreal

Montreal glows against the -25° air, the kind that sharpens the air and softens my thoughts. The city glows in the distance, quiet and steady, and I feel myself drifting somewhere between the chill on my skin and the warmth of belonging. #PlacedesMontrealaises #Montreal

Pol Turgeon’s “Le Monarque” is a powerful, surreal monotype that transfigures a classical portrait using mixed media.
The figure’s somber gaze and dark robes are contrasted sharply by the replacement of the headwear with a human ribcage, symbolizing themes of mortality and inner self. #Montreal

It’s early December and Montreal is doing its usual trick: snow on the ground, autumn in the trees, and my street looking like two seasons arguing about whose turn it is. That one stubborn tree clearly didn’t get the memo about winter. 😬 #Montreal

My husky sleeps like this. I think he’s broken, but he seems comfortable with it so… alright! 😒 #Montreal

Beef rib pho taken to full drama mode, slow-braised ribs so tender they barely hang on to the bone, resting in a broth that tastes like it simmered for days. Fresh herbs, crisp sprouts, and a rich, aromatic steam that hits you before the first sip. #Montreal

Ryoko Kaneta delivers a compelling piece of contemporary Pop Surrealism with her acrylic on canvas work, "Motenrō" (2025).
This painting beautifully captures the isolated but protective feeling of the modern urban experience. #HongKong
