As a food critic in 2025, I recently dined at Le 30 février, a surreal new brunch spot in Montreal. Inspired by Magritte and Dalí, its whimsical décor—think melting clocks and floating eggs—pairs perfectly with a creative menu. The standout dish was a fluffy cloud-like omelet atop a vibrant beet-infused hash, blending earthy flavors with a dreamy texture. Locally sourced ingredients shone through, especially in the zesty citrus-drizzled avocado toast. The coffee, a robust Ethiopian roast, complemented the meal beautifully. Service was warm yet slightly scattered, reflecting opening-week jitters. At $25 for a hearty plate, it’s a fair deal for the experience. Le 30 février is a bold addition to the scene, offering a playful twist on breakfast classics that’s worth a visit—if you can snag a table. 0 reply

As a food critic in 2025, I recently visited Cavern Restaurant in Singapore, opened March 12. Nestled in Rainforest Wild Asia, its cave-inspired decor evokes Sarawak’s Mulu caves. The menu blends Western flair with bold flavors—I loved the Ironstrike Knuckle, a tender 500-gram pork knuckle braised for 12 hours in Chinese spices, paired with mustard jus ($28++). The Pulled Pork Taco ($22++) was juicy, though slightly overshadowed by the mains. Service was warm, but the ambiance stole the show. Meanwhile, New York’s Four Twenty Five, from chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Jonathan Benno, dazzles with haute cuisine. Think seasonal American dishes with a luxurious edge—pricey, but worth it. Both spots highlight 2025’s trend: bold, immersive dining experiences. Book ahead; they’re already buzzing. 0 reply
