Most cities have their best restaurants, but there’s no doubt some of the larger ones offer the finest in cuisine and atmosphere. When it comes to Canada, famous restaurants you won’t want to miss are in Montreal, Quebec, Vancouver and Toronto. Both cities have restaurants that some critics believe compete with the fine dining of big American cities like San Francisco and New York.

The island of Montreal boasts upward of 4,000 restaurants, some of which have received golden reviews from famous international food critics. Perhaps the most elegant and romantic choice is Chez Queuz, located at 158 St. Paul East. A trip to the restaurant really is like taking a journey back in time. It was built in 1862 and has velvet curtains, crimson carpet, and old-fashioned chandeliers. The fireplace is always burning in the main dining room and the service is great. All of the tables are adorned with fresh orchids and the silverware is finely polished. The restaurant’s wine list is anything if not extravagant, carrying as many as 300 titles. And if that’s not enough, the famous restaurant has won the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator since 1996. Expect to pay upward of $45 per person, but the elegance and delicious dishes from the kitchen will make your experience well worth it.

Another famous restaurant in Montreal is Rib’n Reef, located at 8105 Decarie. Though passersby who see its radiant, glowing sign outside might think it’s a simple steak house, they are surely wrong. The extra large tables make staying awhile not out of the question. And the meat is only of the highest quality USDA-approved cuts. The shrimp, some have said, is almost exotic with is tender texture and brilliant flavor. And the beverage and dessert selection will have you oohing an ahhing. Not only will you enjoy piling on the calories more than any other eatery, but you can enjoy a glass of port along with a fine cigar, all while having a conversation with bar staff who’ve been on hand for as long as three decades.

When it comes to Toronto, you really can’t go wrong with Truffles. The restaurant is pricey, but well worth it if you’d like to experience the best in Canadian fine dining. It’s even been voted Toronto’s most popular restaurant. The food is absolutely exquisite. The spaghettini with truffle foam, some say, is by itself worth a trip to Canada for. Another favorite is the famous potato-crusted halibut. But besides the food, the service really sets Truffles apart from others famous restaurants in Canada. The wait staff has been described as having an amazing sense of humor, as well as being extremely friendly.

When in Toronto, you also will not want to miss Rodney’s Oyster House in the city’s downtown district. Among a long list of shellfish choices, you simply have to try the -’Oyster Slapstick Chowder,’ which has been the delight of locals and world travelers for decades.

Smoking

In most major cities in the world, there is an active and highly profitable shadow economy in phony consumer goods that generates (in some estimates) upwards of 500 billion dollars a year. If you have ever been down to “Counterfeit Alley” in midtown Manhattan, you have seen one of the biggest counterfeit marketplaces in the world. While many of us spend our waking hours lusting after the latest fashion designs from our favorite designers, there are a lot of people out there who purchase knock-off or phony items without fully appreciating the consequences.

I recently read a book called “Knockoff”, written by a fellow named Tim Phillips. It was an insightful read, with a number of interesting and often disturbing ideas presented. I was particularly interested in the section he devoted to the trade in phony luxury items such as designer handbags. These days, it seems I can’t go anywhere without seeing somebody carrying a fake Prada or Gucci purse. Personally, I have always resisted the urge to purchase a counterfeit purse. I have avoided the temptation mainly because such an action only undermines an industry I have grown to love. When one considers the price of some of the higher-end purses, it should come as no surprise that some people purchase fakes.

What will surprise you is the discovery that their money is supporting future terrorist attacks in America and abroad. This book has confirmed my belief in supporting legitimate companies. Have you ever stopped to consider where the money you spend on fake consumer products ends up? This book will provide you with some frightening insights. The “black market” in counterfeit consumer goods provides incredible resources for criminal organizations, and these organizations certainly do not have the public interest at heart.

One of the most disturbing ideas in the book was the suggestion that terrorist organizations, working with organized crime groups, use the profits gained from these illegal sales to support future attacks. I could not sleep at night if I thought I was supporting terrorist campaigns to maim and kill innocent civilians in America, or anywhere else for that matter. I am a firm believer in being a conscientious shopper, and supporting companies that are trying to make the world a better place. I will gladly pay three times the price of a phony purse, to ensure that my money is not supporting terrorism. Check out “Knockoff” when you have a chance. It is a real eye-opener.

There’s gold in them thar web sites. As businesses flock to the web to get it they join new businesses who have responded to the call to stake out their land in the belief that very small companies can act big, appear big and challenge the model of large unwieldy companies that take to an online presence at the speed their overweight cigar smoking executives play an occasional game of squash. The tiddlers have had a good run. But it’s over. As large, well funded companies gradually take the higher organic listings through search engine optimisation, those smaller companies are forced out to the edges of the eBay bazaar, online shopping malls, business directories and worst of all – the search engine feed fest – PPC. Or in other words – they pay online rent to multiple online landlords. An’ it aint cheap.

Adwords and other PPC

Most successful adwords campaigns have a price tag per month similar to the rent for a high class store in the High Street or Mall. This is a recipe for weak business models to thin out like bees in winter. They either have a good profit margin that allows the advertising overhead or they retreat to the edges to pick up the scraps from bargain hunters. Further, whilst rent for physical premises generally stays the same throughout the year – this online rent easily trebles in November and goes to five or six times normal in December if it’s gift related. Does the profit allow that? For many, it has done so far – but as larger, better and higher funded companies see the profit areas and stake their claim too – the product or service competition increases and the margin possibilities decrease. To compound the problem, more companies advertise through the pay per click model and

Directory charges

Whilst there are many thousands of directories on the web, the free ones aren’t much good, though in years to come they may blossom into good sources of web clout. Generally the course of wisdom is to outsource directory submissions to good (and growing number of) submission experts who work at something like the rate of $25 per 200 or so directory submissions. It’s a good underpinning tool of any SEO campaign. Directories that know they have any weight in influencing rank to any tiny degree whatsoever are very expensive. It only takes submissions to 20 or more to find funds easily sucked up into the hoover of ‘our listing will get you better organic ranking’ promise and the bank account hole getting larger. Directories, at least good ones, are expensive.

eBay and other eShopping Malls

Pushed to the margins of adwords, squeezed by the organic presence of the big fellas, ahhh! An oasis – eBay and other similar bazaars! E-tailers sell their wares through eBay and eek out a profit through volume. Like yet another expensive landlord, eBay take a commission and like any gambling house – always win. eBay is the cheaper option and one that does at least show some result – other leech-like stores like eDirectory operate with a more expensive listing price, take significant sums in advance and provide little in return. eDirectory charges close to £1000 up front and takes 10% commission from each sale with further charges along the way for in-site banners that might help sales after complaints of no ROI. At least Adwords worked although expensive – these dubious landlord malls/stores promise much but soon the tenant realises that it’s all sales talk with negligible return – they go from e-tailer to e-tailer with empty promises because the desperate retailer will put up with a sleazy place to sell just as they’d put up with a sleazy place to live if nothing else were available. As retailers fail to renew the second year, these companies have already moved on to the next retailer with their promises and evidence of existing, albeit soon to depart, listings.

How the future looks

Take a look at your local mall or high street – that’s what web eCommerce iss shaping up to be. Is there a boutique store there? A few. If they can generate interest and buzz they can survive. The same is true on the web. African beads? Maybe. But if you sell laptops, better get it prepared to sell the business off rather than compete with the big boys, who’ll make sure you are squeezed out. That’s how things will change. Don’t like it. Where will you buy your iPod? Dan’s bazaar? Sleazy eDirectory? Or Virgin Megastore’s lowest price, free shipping, free return super-store? I know where I feel safer. The web is already resembling the High Street, recognise this and take appropriate action to take advantage of the trend to survive. Because as in the High Street, the web’s landlords are taking the real money from their internet real estate – it’s generally proving difficult for most Mom and Pops to justify the rent.
