"Butterblume's menu reflects the experience of its owners and chef: co-owners Julie Romano (of Olive & Gourmando) and Nadine Boudreau (of the wine bar Pullman), and German chef Jens Ruoff (formerly of the highly acclaimed restaurants Bouillon Bilk and Van Horne), bring fresh comfort food with a refined, healthy twist to the table. The ingredients are organic and the flavors rich; try the homemade granola with puffed quinoa, dried fruit, and yogurt, or the homemade sourdough bread, a house specialty, with a chocolate-and-hazelnut spread. Located on Saint-Laurent Boulevard on the block between Bernard and Van Horne, Butterblume attracts a hip Mile End crowd." - Karin Eldor
