Restaurant Toque

Consistently rated as one of Montreal's best restaurants, Toque is no disappointment. The food is amazing. A true testament to french cuisine, Toque puts together an excellent combination of flavors and artistry. Each dish is perfectly seasoned and served on your dish as though it were art. They offer both an A la Carte menu as well as a Tasting Menu - which is what I chose, and although it's been over a year since I've eaten there and the various dishes I had are starting to run into each other, I do remember thinking each item was better than the last. What's more, I enjoyed the size of each plate as it was just enough, and with 7 courses, I certainly didn't walk out hungry! Of course, no good food comes without a price - and Toque is definitely pricey. It was probably one of the most expensive restaurants I've been to in Montreal, but worth it...even if you go just once. Despite it's rather large size for a Montreal restaurant, I would recommend reservations. And although its decor is clean, modern and well done, I wouldn't say it's the most romantic of places, mostly because of the size. So whether it's for a special occasion, or 'just because you're worth it,' put Toque on your list of "must eats."
