L'Ambasade
(Playa Del Carmen - Nightlife) The budget traveler and locals love L'AmbasadeEvery Tuesday and Thursday after rugby practice, the old boyz will gather here for a few beers. One of the owners of L’Ambasade plays rugby with Playa Del Carmen. The place is definitely a popular watering hole for locals…it seems to have a good group every night. They offer 1 liter foam cups of beers for only 50 pesos ($3.96 US) which is a great deal. It probably explains why L’Ambasade is a hit with locals; it’s a great bar to hit before going out dancing. There’s a second floor where larger groups will hang out. The stairs on the way up can be tricky, each step seems to be a different size….or maybe it’s those beers? The washrooms are very basic….as in it’s a curtain for the guys and a damaged plastic door for the ladies. Keep in mind this is a local watering hole, ideal for the budget traveler.

Zenzi
(Playa Del Carmen - Nightlife) Nice casual beach barIn keeping with tradition, after playing our rugby game vs. Cancun this past Saturday, both teams headed to Zenzi to celebrate. The club is owned by Gus who’s a rugby player. Zenzi is located directly on the beach which was extended a few months ago (see Playa Del Carmen’s beach gets a facelift) During the day guests can rest on their white day beds overlooking the wide beach. At night, the long bar makes it easier to get drinks, food is an option as well. For bar food, the food is ok….portions are nice. The drinks aren’t expensive, for the best deals ask for their buckets of beer. Zenzi has 3 flat screen TV’s located at the bar which is nice if you want to see a big game without missing out on the action. It’s a fairly large beach bar, plenty of space and ideal for groups. If the music is too loud near the bar, simply walk out on the beach and you’ll find a more intimate setting. Zenzi’s casual atmosphere fits in very well with Playa Del Carmen.

The Keg Steakhouse & Bar
(Montreal - Restaurants) 5 reasons why you'll like The KegWhen the boys want to gather, we tend to vote to hit The Keg in Old Montreal as a meeting spot. To be more specific, there’s a bar attached to The Keg called Brandy’s (owned by The Keg?). I love this restaurant for many reasons; 5. Very consistent with their meals. Mashed potatoes are amazing, meat is great quality. 4. Keg size….yes, equivalent to a McDonald’s super size. You can Keg size just about anything. Keg size your bloody ceasar, Keg size your steak, love it! 3. Right in Old Montreal. Walk along St. Paul Street and enjoy this part of the city while digesting. Or you can walk up St. Laurent and hit the clubs (20 min walk). There’s a parking lot just around the corner too if you can’t find parking which is a pain in the ass in Old Montreal. 2. AAA quality steaks. 1. The service. I don’t know who’s doing the hiring there but they have a tendency to hire beautiful women who are always smiling. I once returned a bottle of red wine that they recommended and without any hesitation they did it, no problems whatsoever. Oh….did I mention that they hire cute women here?

Chez L'Epicier
(Montreal - Restaurants) Excellent Old Montreal restaurantI’ve been to Chez L’Epicier a few times as our old office was located just down the street. The restaurant is located about a block East of the heart of Old Montreal, the Jacques Cartier square where people gather in the summer to pound back a few beers on one of the many terraces. You’ll often see business travelers here for lunch, or trendy locals that want to treat themselves. The name literally means “The Grocery Store”. You can buy prepared meals or other items like sauces, cool looking bottled water, to go or of course sit down and order. It’s one of those restaurants where you wish they gave you bigger portions because you love the food so much. Out of the zillions of meals that I’ve had in my life, I can still taste their “club sandwich” desert. They score 5 on 5 for creativity with this one…..picture a club sandwich where the bread tastes like chocolate and the fries are actually fried pineapple. The whole thing looks like a club sandwich from far but it’s a great dessert. Not a super cheap restaurant, but worth treating yourself if you want to get a feel for Old Montreal.

La Sirene de La Mer
(Montreal - Restaurants) The best grilled octopus I've ever tasted!I recently met some Lebanese people from Montreal on the beach here in Mexico and one of the first things that came up was “have you tried La Sirene?” If you’re Lebanese and living in Montreal, there’s a 99% chance you’ve been to this restaurant! I love La Sirene….the food here is very good. I’ll usually order the grilled Octopus which is still to this day the best I’ve tasted. The raw kibee is also one of my favorites. What’s cool about this restaurant is that you can walk into their fresh fish market which is attached to the restaurant. You can select fresh tuna, salmon, caviar if you’d like and they’ll have it prepared for you, delivered to your table. I did this once and wasn’t blown away; they killed the tuna by drowning it in too much sesame seed seasoning but the fish was fresh. It’s an old school décor where the host seems to remember everyone who walks in the door. This guy has been around long enough to recognize young kids who’ve grown up and are now taking their loved ones to La Sirene. So if you want excellent Lebanese food, La Sirene de la Mer is a must!

Soba Sushi
(Montreal - Restaurants) Soba Sushi - Great sushi at half the priceI was introduced to Soba Sushi by my brother James about a year ago. It’s a small sushi restaurant in NDG (a little West from downtown Montreal) that offers pretty good sushi at a great price. It’s rare to find sushi places that taste good and don’t break the bank. The service was great too and our meals came out fairly quickly. As a birthday present for my brother I called Soba Sushi from Mexico and asked them to deliver a huge platter with a special message, it went down perfectly. How many quality sushi shops do you know will deliver quickly and cheaply? Try Soba Sushi if you’re in NDG. TasteCreativityAtmosphereValueService

Cafe Dominion
(Montreal - Restaurants) Great team, cool loft settingCafé Dominion is currently managed by my father and owned by my brother and head chef Shawn Jackson. What started off as being a simple kitchen for the Luxury Retreats team has now grown to become the go to restaurant in this part of Montreal. The St. Henri region is quickly becoming the new “plateau” of Montreal with beautiful waterfront lofts being built. Café Dominion is well positioned to serve employees of all local businesses but is currently a challenge to get too for walk in clients. The team at CD is great. I’ve tasted some of Chef Shawn’s take out dinners and for what we pay, it’s excellent value for quality food. CD also does corporate events, ideal for companies that want a trendy loft type environment with good food at again, a fair price. Come see the team and say hi to my Dad :) TasteCreativityAtmosphereValueService

Nikki Beach
(St. Barts - Restaurants) Good house tunes + topless women = great dayI’ve visited several Nikki Beaches and this is definitely one of the better ones. My brother and I love sushi, so we ordered their sushi dishes and were pleased. It’s located directly on the beach where we can see the Eden Rock Hotel in the distance. I’m a huge fan of the music Nikki Beach plays, it tends to be cool house tunes, a good beat that’s perfect to listen to while tanning on the beach or hacking away at work on your laptop. Throw in some attractive people and it’s a perfect office setting Nikki Beach isn’t very cheap but than again neither is St. Barts so get used to paying those Euros dollars!

Cocina 38
(Playa Del Carmen - Restaurants) Left me wanting more!After walking by this restaurant about a hundred times I finally tried it. Every dish I tested was amazing, very good food. The meal wasn’t cheap so it’s definitely a place where you take that special lady out or client. The portions leave you wanting more which is good because I could probably eat myself to death here. I had ordered a desert that included some ice cream and was impressed to see the chef come out and personally apologize for the softness in the ice cream. Their freezer had problems and he wanted to say he was sorry. The service was excellent, wine selection was healthy, bloody caesars weren’t the best but hey, now I’m just being very picky. It’s located on the opposite end of town so if you’re staying in Playacar take a cab or walk back (45 mins walk / 5 mins taxi), it’s a great way to digest and see all of Playa.

Wicky's
(Playa Del Carmen - Restaurants) Modern beachfront restaurantI haven’t tried their steaks but did test out lunch one day. I love the atmosphere; it’s modern, well lit, cool views of the ocean. On a hot day the central air-conditioning is nice to retreat to. I’ve sat by the bar and watched some college football; the staff here is very friendly and eager to help. Its central location is ideal if you’re looking to have lunch and continue your trek along the beach. I wish I could give you more feedback on the food; I’m due to test more items out. I would be very surprised if you left this restaurant un-happy. TasteCreativityAtmosphereValueService

El Diez
(Playa Del Carmen - Restaurants) Great steaksI’ve been here at least 4 times now, partly because it’s close to home but mainly because their steaks are good. I’ll always order the flank steak which I’m told has the least amount of fat (I’m trying to watch my weight; rugby season is around the corner!). It comes served on a wooden paddle, without any sides so ask for the grilled vegetables if you want something to accompany that lonely steak. The service has been consistently good….meaning that I don’t wait long to receive my first drink, refills, seating, and the bill. My bill usually ends up being about $300 pesos (approx $24 US) but keep in mind I’m ordering the most expensive steak, super sized, plus grilled vegetables and a beer.
