Joe Beef. Also Schwartz’s for a smoked meet plate, half sour and a cherry soda. Best meal in town.

A classic Portuguese for seafood is Ferreira in the business district. Europea is a great fusion experience for a long meal (up to 8 services). Outside of the downtown core, Damas is a great Syrian restaurant. Le Filet, for the best meat. Milos for best Greek/Mediterranean In old port and for Quebec/French cuisine, Le club Chasse et Pêche is the place to go.

Even if you do high end, don't miss the more casual and liver killer Pied de cochon and the after-party, La Banquise, for poutine.

I’ve always liked Stash Cafe in old Montreal. Polish food with a set menu, has a great atmosphere (church pews for seats, piano player in the background). It’s not a large space though, I’d say a party of 4-6 max is what I would bring there.

It’s not really “high end” but the food and atmosphere are great which is what I look for primarily in a good restaurant.

Not high end!

Montreal Plaza and Au Pied de Cochon

Au Pied de Cochon is soooo good +1. Such a memorable meal

Big fan of Au Pied de Cochon. Not for the faint of heart though - all the pig and duck fat you can imagine

The name is literally pig foot but it’s so worth it

Avoid Joe Beef like the plague. It puts the trap in tourist trap.

The biggest opportunity for FP&A is with linking business operations to financial outcomes, it's not easy if business has multiple revenue sources.
But if FP&A succeeds in making that connection, great things happen.

Any thoughts 💭 Fishes 🐠🐟. ?

I’ve been asked to serve as chair for a non-profit. I don’t have time and this is a dysfunctional board (many board members with a tie to the mission of the organization but w/o relevant experience). However, there aren’t many options and I feel obligated. I’m considering it, *if* I can put some guardrails in place to minimize the dysfunction and stay out of the weeds. That’s a huge if. Any advice?

All -
I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Do folks have trusted/valuable resources for researching luxury family travel with young kids? I don’t care the cost, I want to know what is most convenient and nice for my family. Feel like generally most resources are geared to either a) families on a budget (I don’t care which hotel is best bang for buck w/mid breakfast) or b) couples / adults only travelers. Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?
