one of my favorite things about pinterest? it helps me visually discover amazing little spots that i can bookmark for my travels. next time you’re traveling, skip google and use pinterest’s search for some great curated finds. it’s also a photographer’s dream for scouting cool spots to shoot. (follow me here!)

i found olive + gourmando on pinterest shortly before our east coast trip last year, and it’s easily one of my favorite places that i’ve ever eaten at. situated on the edges of cobblestoned old montreal, it’s an adorable bakery serving delicate pastries and simple food made from the freshest ingredients (the quebecois, like the french, do not mess around when it comes to food). my favorite? the housemade ricotta with roasted tomatoes and herbs. i still replicate this recipe often for breakfast at home.

more on montreal soon!
