"Victoire offers a well-edited mix of ideas and trends - mixing edgy wares with more classic pieces. Focusing primarily on Canadian designers, mixing in a select few American designers, the store’s aesthetic point can only be described as a “Rock ’n’ Roll tea party”. Loved by rebel girls with good manners everywhere, Victoire is a shop obsessed with anything made-in-Canada, supercute, gold or embroidered. "

Carries a wide selection of unique handmade goods, clothing, accessories, housewares, gifts and jewellery from up and coming Canadian designers. I have received a few jewelry items from this store for my birthday and they were real cool pieces.

Petit Bill's Bistro: Indulgence


Petit Bill's Bistro

Once in a while you have to indulge into something sinful and delicious. If you decide it's time to put your diet aside and reward yourself with something so incredibly good, then go to Petit Bill's Bistro and order the Lobster Poutine. This Lobster Poutine takes poutine to another level - nothing like tasty french fries topped with pieces of lobster and smothered in a shellfish and mascarpone butter sauce. I'm drooling just thinking about it - it is was so creamy and delicious that when you are done, you want to lick the plate.

Lobster Poutine
After sharing a plate of Lobster Poutine with my sister for lunch, we were both very disappointed we weren't there for dinner to try some of the other dishes. The food sounds so good like the seafood chowder, steak frites and the pheasant breast wrapped in house smoked bacon, red wine braised pheasant leg and mushroom ragout.

Petit Bill's Bistro is a very comfortable, friendly restaurant which has a bit of a "Newfy" charm about it. When you go in, you will surely be greeted by the owner which makes you feel at home. The menu offers contemporary French cuisine mixed with East Coast "down home" comfort food. The next time I go out for dinner, I'm surely going back to Petit Bill's Bistro - see you there.
