Juliette et Chocolat
Tonight I had dinner with a Japanese friend of mine, Nana-chan. First, she introduced me to a friend of hers (Miki) and we went together to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montreal... It was really interesting! The exhibit that I found to be the most interesting was by Vik Muniz, an artist who draws/paints with very particular tools, such as chocolate, ketchup, peanut butter, jam, etc. What's really amazing, is the precision of his drawings.... He even reproduced the famous Raft of the Medusa (Gericault) all in Chocolate syrup.... I couldn't find this specific picture on the internet, but here is an example of his art:
Pretty cool, eh? ^^
After the visit of the museum, Miki had to go home. Nana-chan and I walked down Ste-Catherine st. (main street) to find a place to have dinner. We walked (under the rain) to St-Denis st, one of the most animated streets of Montreal and found a nice French restaurant, called La Brioche Lyonnaise, whose specialties are sandwiches, crêpes and paninis. We both had crêpes and had a long talk. Afterwards, we found this amazing and delicious Chocolate place called Juliette et Chocolat. After seeing the Muniz exhibit, how could we not feel like eating Chocolate?? lol
Juliette and Chocolat specialize in all kind of products made of chocolate; fondue, hot chocolate, cakes, crêpes, etc. etc. Simply amazing... The atmosphere was a bit noisy but really nice. I guess it's a popular place, because there was a line of people waiting outside even under the rain (which kept pouring harder and harder.... )
Ahh, I had a good time. It's so relaxing, after cramming the whole week for my exams... ^^; We gotta do this more often...
