This beautifully situated and decorated restaurant at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec does not require a museum visit; it is worth the trip on its own (though a peek at the galleries is an added bonus). It's chef Marie-Chantal Lepage's flagship restaurant and is like taking a tour around the world with visits to the Mediterranean and Asia.
