An unassuming little restaurant and a gem of a find! There's no flashy signage on the outside but the ambiance indoors is warm and inviting. So many unique items to choose from on the menu and the presentation and taste was one of the finest that we've tried. You have to eat here!

Impeccable small plates dining, warm welcome and great vibes from the server. Very difficult to choose a menu highlight, the recommendation of 5 plates for a couple was spot-on without over-eating. Duck dumplings, scallops, and eggplant special were particularly good, and I'll look forward to going back when they have a tasting menu option again. Leave room for dessert!

Our dinner at Le Club was the culinary highlight of our trip to Montreal. The quail appetizer and duck entrée were delicious, especially accompanied by a selection from their extensive wine list (we had a Côte de Nuits red which, while a bit on the young side, was quite good). The atmosphere is lovely, and the service exceptionally pleasant and attentive. This is definitely on our list for a return visit.

About the restaurant

In 1993, Toqué! opened featuring local produce: a showcase for Quebec's terroir and its suppliers. The ongoing contributions of these artisans is no less important today. We have them to thank for foie gras de canard or salicornia; lamb of heirloom vegetables; seafood or fine herbs. These tireless farmers, foragers and fishermen inspire Toqué!'s cuisine, on which they bestow tastes, textures and natural aromas and unparalleled freshness.

One of the finest dining experiences of my lifetime. We got the 7 course tasting menu and the discovery wine pairing and it was like an education and pure joy at the same time.

About the restaurant

This charming and intimate restaurant serves a generous and creative fresh market cuisine, cheerfully prepared by chef-owners Marc De Canck and Olivier de Montigny. At La Chronique, the pleasures of the table are always front and centre. But in addition to the delights it serves up, the restaurant is also known for its extensive wine list, welcoming décor and impeccable service. Little wonder it's been considered "essential eating" in Montreal since 1995.

La Chronique gave us a night to remember! The food was absolutely incredible- the Artic Char with carrots four ways was possibly the best meal I've ever had. Our waiter, Luca, was so personable and funny. The food on it's own was an experience, but he gave us a fun, memorable night we're still talking about days later.
