Onions have that special way of bringing tears to one’s eyes. Has anyone thought to try these onion goggles?

Food
This mountain of foamy milk was as delicious as it looks.
Cappucino delight at La Croissanterie
La Croissanterie Figaro is a place not to be missed on your next visit to Montreal. I paired my cappuccino with a fresh croissant and a bowl of delicious fruit. Yum!
Many thanks to Suparna for recommending this “lost corner of Paris”.
Beautys is quite simply the best diner I’ve been to in Montreal. The breakfast food is delicious, the service is friendly and the retro decor is hard to beat. While there we had a lovely chat with Hymie (the original owner) and learned that Beautys was actually Hymie’s bowling nickname. Sweetness!
Beautys Luncheonette
Beautys - at Mont Royal & Saint Urbain
 My friend and I couldn’t narrow down our breakfast choices so in the end we decided to take the easy way out and ordered everything…pancakes, French toast, real maple syrup, bacon, sausage, eggs, bagel, coffee, tea, hash browns, & a bowl of fruit. Needless to say, our meal was glorious. A long walk there and back  made us feel a little less guilty about our morning indulgence.

BeautySmoothies
Have any White Cabana readers been to Beautys? Has anyone tried the Beauty Smoothie?
The Beautys website is currently under construction but the restaurant is very easy to find. It’s located at 93 Avenue du Mont Royal Ouest at Rue Saint Urbain.
Many thanks to Suparna for this breakfast recommendation.

It’s April and that means chocolate! (Well…Who am I kidding? Every month means chocolate, doesn’t it?)
Welcome to April!
I love the packaging on these Happy and Sweet chocolate bars by Kanella. Hopefully they taste as good as they look!
