Cheers to the best bellinis in Montreal

Ah, the bellini. First invented in Venice during the Second World War, this cocktail is traditionally prepared with white peach purée and Prosecco sparkling wine. In the last 70 or so years, however, the bellini has evolved and adapted into countless tasty variations. So raise your glass and celebrate the ever-lasting bellini with some of the best cocktail makers in Montreal.

Bevo bar + Pizzeria

It’s no surprise an Italian restaurant, complete with wood-fired oven for their authentic Neapolitan pizza, would concoct an absolutely delicious bellini. Prepared with peach schnapps, prosecco and fresh peaches, you’ll have a hard time just ordering one.

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
You don’t have to travel to Paris to have a true fine-dining experience; you can enjoy an upscale dinner, complete with a five-course meal and fine wine, right here at home. Victoria is a fine-dining destination with an excellent reputation – where talented chefs enjoy crafting delicious gourmet dishes from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
