GEMMA HOROWITZ

Cardinal, Sparrow’s new tea room, opened this weekend, and it’s really awesome.

Our city has plenty of bagels, but very few bagel sandwiches, so we checked out Hinnawi Bros Bagel & Café, a new spot, to see what it had to offer.

Aaron Langille, most recently of Café Sardine, is the man behind Orange Rouge, a buzzed-about, though somewhat enigmatic, new restaurant in Chinatown. Check out what the place is all about.

Despite its strange choices of décor, EVOO’s food — particularly its brunch — isn’t so bad.

We tried Pizzeria Moteur, and it was amazing.

The hype about Hof Kelsten, the new bakery at the corner of St-Laurent and Mont-Royal, is warranted.

We tried every slice on the Main — between Prince Arthur and Mont-Royal, anyway — so you wouldn’t have to.

Zach Macklovitch and Nathan Gannage of Saintwoods, the crew behind SuWu and Apartment 200, are singlehandedly contradicting the naysayers who claim that nightlife has fled from the lower Main to Old Montreal and Mile End.

This week, Café Sardine began transforming itself into an izakaya at night.

Were you jonesing for a ramen burger? You’re in luck.
