La Chronique

Pleasant place to visit for the atmosphere just needs a few minor kinks to sort out. This establishment seems to be high quality but there were some notable things to mention. We ordered the cerf & the beef with vegetables, both couldn't be cut with the high quality knives they provided so we left some pieces behind. The meat was quite tough & had limited flavour which was disappointing as there are only 8 options on the menu. Service was slow (we ordered 4 items) & we had plastic bottles of sparkling water.

There's a reason this restaurant continues to be one of Montreal finest: food is of exemplary quality, the kitchen has skills, ingredients are sublime, service great & the restaurant itself a true little gem (cozy, elegant).

Everything about this place is breathtaking - the food, the service & - unfortunately - the prices!

You go to La Chronique for uncompromising high cuisine - it's the kind of place where Dinner & Art meet.

Though everything in our 7-course tasting menu was extraordinary, if I had to pick a standout it was the dessert selection. It's rare, if you ask me, for dessert to be the highlight of an exceptionally good meal, but La Chronique's sweets were just out of this world.

Absolutely go - but preferably on an expense account! (Or go for lunch, when prices fall back down from the eveningtime stratosphere.)

UPDATE: Just went back to this place for the first time since they moved to their new location.

The new dining room is far more in tune with the style of cooking than the old one across the street used to be: contemporary, understated, cool & very, very stylish.

Lunchtime menu prices are not the paycheck-sapping monstruosities of the evening menu, & meals are a bit less elaborate, but the quality is the same. I've never had risotto so well made before, & I used to live in Italy.

La Chronique is everything a Fancy Restaurant should be. These guys are not foolin' around.
