| - Hochelaga was the original Huron place name for this beautiful island that we inhabit. Hochelaga is where it all started -- it's where it all began. Then a series of unfortunate events happen ... the warlike Iroquois killed most of the peace-loving Huron people. Then along came Jacques Cartier who built our home on Native's land. Then the limey English came and we all know what happened next. Je me souviens des plaines d'Abraham ôsti! The Americans were next. Notwithstanding the five hundred years of overdue back paid rent and tax we all owe to First Nations people for genocide, rape and displacement, the dictatorial regime of Maurice Duplessis, Anglo hegemony and oppression of the Québécois, FLQ kidnappings, bombs in Westmount Park trash cans, two referendums, the faltering loonie that was worth 67 cents USD, a pretty crazy ice storm and Celine Dion's Titanic song - not withstanding all that heavy heavy shit - times have been great and they are getting even better. Hochelaga represent! East side! ArHoMa is 100% legit. Everybody knows that Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is the best borough in this city with the best salt-of-the-earth people in this city and now my childhood hood has the best food as well! While contributing a tad bit to the process of gentrification in HoMa it makes up for it in sheer quality, taste and value for dollar. This is the best, allow me to stress that again, ArHoMa is seriously the best pâtisserie, boulangerie, café, bakery and fromagerie in Montréal hands down. Where else on God's green earth can you find the ingenious conceptualisation that is the pistachio chocolatine or pistachio croissant? This is a very very dangerous item of food. It is a thing of glory. The erotic, eclectic and eccentric interplay of sweet dark chocolate, perfectly buttery flakey croissant along with the nutty saltiness of the pistachio make for an elegant, deep and beauteous cacophony of intriguing flavour inside your mouth. These pastries are always flying off the shelves faster than they come out of the oven so it's good to go early. They do make them several times a day, I understand, so try and get yours piping hot out of the oven but if not it's still damn good. They also have excellent breads baking at multiple times during the day. Get yourself one or two of the cheeses from their extensive selection and go have a picnic by yourself or with a lover or friend. Be sure to enjoy the ginormous terrace and post-modern sculpture garden and benches of Place-Simon-Valois that they've got open to patrons and the public alike. This place is a thing of beauty. Enjoy yourself and bon appétit à tous !
