The Best of Gentleman – July 2024 – Fine Dining

Bar Le French Line

Located on the 9th floor of the Eaton Centre, in the space known as le 9e, and adjacent to the Île de France restaurant (which we haven’t yet had the chance to try) stands the brand-new bar “le French Line.” A magnificent establishment where the cocktails are perfect, the service is incredible and the atmosphere is magnificent. We’ll tell you more about it in an article.

Café Bazin

With its two locations, it’s a great place for pastries and coffees in Montréal. Take the time to stop in and sample the delights of pastry chef Bertrand Bazin, or take them home with you. Note that chef Antonio Park is a partner in the Cafés Bazin adventure. Without a doubt, an essential for The Best of Gentleman—July 2024.

Ernest Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2021

Tasted at Jessica Harnois’ Wine Club tasting at the superb Club St-Denis (featured in issue no. 13), this Chardonnay is the opposite of California Chardonnays. An incredible wine, with a sweetness that blends orange and apple. Perfect for your delicious summer, seafood and fish dishes.

Available in SAQ 

Tenuta Garetto — Giassà Grignolino d’Asti DOC

An incredible Italian red wine. Its finesse and the presence of fruits such as strawberries make it perfect as an aperitif. Try it with our peach, strawberry, tomato and burrata salad recipe. A magnificent wine that deserved to feature in The Best of Gentleman—July 2024.

Saints, Sinners, Lovers and Fools: Three Hundred Years of Flemish Masterworks at Montréal Museum of Fine Arts

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ major exhibition for summer 2024. It’s simply magnificent. It features works that showcase Flanders and its great masters. The richness of the colours, the complexity of the details and the subjects addressed in these paintings are sometimes disturbing, sometimes evocative of the period. See them with all your senses open. More on this in a future article.

Sunspel Polo

It’s hard to miss these incredibly well-made polo shirts. After all, they were also worn by James Bond in Casino Royale. In a variety of colours and styles sure to suit your tastes, they’ll make a minimalist fashion statement, thanks to the absence of logos. It’s like being in the TV series Succession. An essential in The Best of Gentleman—July 2024.

Available at Clusier, the retailer on McGill Street in Old Montréal is currently holding its big summer sale.
