About Us

What we do

We’re like the city of Montreal itself: a little European, a bit North American, and completely unforgettable. The best kind of weird, that’s us.

We’re a motley crew of writers, explorers, and unabashed Montreal enthusiasts. Some of us were born here and others found their way to this city and never left. What unites us? A passion for uncovering the hidden stories, spots, and the heart and soul of this place we call home.

Think of us as your offbeat tour guides. We’ll show you the Montreal beyond the postcards. So, if you’re ready to ditch the ordinary and dive into the wonderfully weird side of Montreal, we’re your people.

Meet our team

We’re your most curious friends, your food-obsessed neighbours, that friendly know-it-all you stood in line with at the post office last week. We’re here to share our knowledge and satisfy our own curiosities about the place we all call home. Our team of Montrealians is constantly out and about (or should we say "oot and aboot"?!), comparing spec sheets, evaluating prices, testing products, and interviewing consumers.

How do we find the best of everything?

Finding the best of everything is not just a matter of personal opinion, it’s a rigorous process that we take very seriously. Our journey to discover the best products and services begins with a comprehensive analysis of the competition.

We meticulously identify and evaluate what’s available, ensuring we have a clear view of the landscape before we dive deeper.

Once we’ve mapped out the competitors, we roll up our sleeves and get to the testing phase. This is where we put each product or service through its paces where we assess everything from functionality and durability to user experience and aesthetic appeal.

How do we make money?

Our primary means of generating revenue is through affiliate links. This model allows us to earn a commission at no extra cost to you when you click on those links and make a purchase. It’s a practice that enables us to sustain our operations and continue providing high-quality content.

When we recommend a product or service, it’s because our team has conducted extensive research and, wherever possible, first-hand testing. We pride ourselves on the integrity and the thoroughness of our evaluation process.

Our commitment is to offer recommendations that are not only informed but also honest and reliable. The trust of our readers is paramount, and we endeavour to build and maintain that trust by being transparent about our processes and always putting their interests first.

It’s important to note while we strive to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, everything we present is without warranty. Markets change, products evolve, and what was best at the time of our review might be surpassed by innovations.

We highly value the feedback of our community. It not only helps us improve but also ensures that we remain accountable and responsive to the needs and concerns of our readers. Your feedback is important to help us refine our content and recommendations continuously.
