Toqué!
In 1993, chef Normand Laprise put Montreal cuisine on the map with this landmark restaurant, and after more than 25 years, it's still going strong in a new location. Combining the latest trends in fine dining with local and regional produce, the chefs create spectacularly complex dishes in tiny, but strangely satisfying portions. The house specialty is an eight-course surprise menu, made up of many small dishes. This restaurant will take a bite out of your wallet, but serious foodies will find it worth the cost.
Lunch: Tue-Fri 11:30-14:00, dinner: Tue-Sat 17:30-22:30 · $30-50
