Feb 28th to March 2nd

Detroit to Montreal to Los Angeles in 3 Days

The Detroit Metro Airport is one of the best airports we have in North America (my opinion solely) - the shops, the restaurants, the Westin Hotel--Food was great at the Westin Hotel and at the Japanese Restaurant at the airport-

not something you expect at an airport location- maybe its because of all the Japanese flights-not enough time to explore food outside of the airport as there was a big snowstorm going on .


Montreal- is a fabulous city- cosmopolitan, vibrant- good food- everthing you want in a city. Although the city was buried in snow, the eating places were open on Ste Catherine- the main avenue in downtown. Here you can have different kinds of food from Montreal Meats at
Reubens http://www.reubensdeli.com/large/indexB.html
to poutine at different places. If you are ever in Montreal on a weekday and have time for one lunch and one dinner- you have to go to Le Caveau at 2063 Rue Victoria- a nice french restaurant in a cave like building. Have the duck confit.

For dinner one must go to AU Pied Cochon on 536 Duluth Est

here you can have everything with foie gras- you cannot find the freshest best foie gras in North AMerica. The servings are large too; On numerous occassions I have had foie gras with poutine, foie gras with magret, foie gras with pork and a side order of foie gras- meltingly good.

Reservations are a must though as it is always packed.

Back to Los Angeles March 2nd

Dinner at Ebisu in Little Tokyo brings you back to Tokyo- all the servers are Japanese, all the patrons speak Japanese- the sashimi box and sushi plate are reasonably priced ; If you want the best freshest sushi go to sushi gen a few steps down but the wait is always too long
