Terra Perma at Fabergé
La Récolte is a unique farm to fork, urban, harvest food event series taking place this fall for 7 weeks at the famous brunch restaurant Fabergé, located in Montreal’s Mile End.
This pop-up restaurant works in direct partnership with Terra Perma, an eco-responsible farm and community in the Quebec Laurentians.
Guests who reserve and sign up for this gastronomic experience will get to taste the fresh, sustainable and agro-ecological products of Terra Perma Farm and its neighbors.
Since the aim of Terra Perma is to draw a direct line between food producers and consumers, expect creative tapas style dishes in their Farm 2 Tapas menu made from recently harvested organic farm food that gets served directly onto your plate.
The tapas menu consists of a vast selection of classic Quebec dishes and vegetarian options that highlights natural preservation methods, introduces wild edible mushrooms and traditional maple syrup produced at the farm.
Some of my favorite dishes include the
- Smoked Aubergines with garlic
- Roasted Quail from La Ferme Rouge Vallée.
- Farm and Forest platter : Homemade smoked cheese, mushroom tapenade, assorted pickles and toasted bread.
Farm & Forest platter :
Smoked cheese, assorted pickles, forest mushroom tapenade, toasted bread and foraged fries fiddle heads tossed with spicy maple soy vinegar
A selection of cocktails such as a bourbon and sumac lemonade as well as the Garden Smash (Gin, cucumber and basil) or Spruced Up (spruce-infused vodka Martini) are also available to complement your meal.
The Farm 2 Tapas menu will be available at the Fabergé restaurant in the Mile-End, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, until October 28 and will be regularly updated in order to showcase the different products of the Terra Perma gardens.

Black Film Festival of Montreal
From September 27th to the 1st of October 2017, international Black filmmakers will arrive in Montréal to watch the 66 films from 25 countries presented in light of the 13th edition of the Montreal International Black Film Festival – Canada’s largest black film festival.
The mission of the Montreal International Black Film Festival (MIBFF) is to bring audiences the most beautiful and the most amazing new Black films, while creating a space to debate major cultural, social and socio-economic issues.
In an exclusive Mountain Lake PBS interview, founder and president of the MIBFF, Fabienne Colas explains:
“It’s a movement, we need more diversity on the screen and this festival allows Canadians and those from abroad to get access to films that otherwise would not have been accessible to them. The festival is also a platform for filmmakers, from around the world so that they can have a voice by showcasing their work.”
To watch a segment of the interview:
With past guest star attendees that included American director Spike Lee and African-American pop star Harry Belafonte, the festival annually attracts thousands of eager film goers who enjoy the festival’s selected films, special events, round-table discussions and guests of honor that all underscore this year’s theme “Speak up / Exprime-toi.”
Here is a link to the 13th MIBFF Trailer:
This year’s red carpet opening film presented at the Imperial cinema will be :
Kalushi: The Story of Solomon Mahlangu, the true story of the 19-year-old freedom fighter from the streets of Mamelodi, a ghetto township outside Pretoria, who – following the 1976 Soweto uprisings – was accused of murder and terrorism in 1977, and executed by hanging in 1979.
