Toqué!

Old Montréal


Chef Normand Laprise has earned rave reviews for his innovative recipes based on products sourced from local farms. The bright, wide-open dining room has high ceilings accented by playful splashes of color, and a glass-enclosed wine cave with suspended bottles looming. The seven-course menu dégustation ($142) is the pinnacle of dining in Montréal – allow three hours for the feast.
