About Stamped by Steph

What is Stamped by Steph?

A Montreal-based lifestyle and discovery publication — restaurant, café, and hotel guides, weekend itineraries, and the occasional event recap, all edited to one standard.

Who's behind it?

Stephanie Fadel. She works as an event coordinator by day and keeps a running, obsessively specific record of Montreal's best rooms by night.

Is this a personal blog?

It reads like one person's point of view because it is — but it's edited and published like a magazine, not a feed. That distinction matters to us.

Guides & Recommendations

How do you decide what gets featured?

Everything is visited at least twice before it's written about. We ask what a place is actually for, and we say no to most of what we try.

Do you accept payment for placements or reviews?

No. Every place in a guide earned its spot on its own terms — no sponsored placements dressed up as favourites.

Can I suggest a place?

Always. Send it our way — we can't promise it'll make the cut, but we read every suggestion.

How often are guides updated?

Continuously. Guides are living lists — entries are added as places are visited and removed when they stop being worth the trip.

Working Together

Do you take on event coordination clients?

Yes — brand activations, launches, networking events, and other curated hospitality experiences, coordinated with the same care as every guide on this site.

What kind of brand partnerships do you consider?

Ones that fit the editorial standard of the site. We're more interested in a long-term fit than a one-off post.

How do I start a conversation about working together?

Use the Brands & Partnerships form on the Contact page — tell us a bit about the project and we'll follow up within 2–3 business days.

Newsletter & Updates

What is “The Edit”?

A short, honest dispatch of what's worth knowing in Montreal, sent occasionally and never as a marketing blast. You can sign up from the homepage.

Where else can I follow along?

Instagram and TikTok, both @stephfdll.
