Toqué!

Gorgous presentation in every dish, immaculate service by every single person serving (& there were many!), tables are spaced far enough away from each other that you can enjoy a conversation without feeling like you are on display, food melted in the mouth, stomachs (& souls) felt good/healthy for the night. If you want to be in the middle of a full restaurant, I would recommend a reservation a bit later... around 8 or 9 pm.

Very good tasting menu & wine pairing on an enjoyable night out at Toque. The first couple dishes were seafood forward with two well matched white wine pairings (dry German Riesling & Austrian Chardonnay). The next course was a transition from sea to land, which was a nice touch, as such the wine also moved from white to Rose, nice attention to detail. Moving onto red wines, the dishes evolved to land based ultimately finished with a rich foie gras, short rib, & loin paired with a Bordeaux from Pauillac. Continuing the trend of transitioning we were given the option of sweet or savory before the final dessert, my wife & I chose different, which was a nice option. All in all was a very attentive staff, great explanations from the Sommeliers, & good quality food. Would definitely recommend Toque as a quality option for food & wine pairing in Montreal.

My partner & I have visited Toqué three times over the past couple years, & it seemed high time to leave a review. All three experiences have been excellent. We get the tasting menu every time & are never disappointed. I would highly recommend adding the wine pairing to get the full Toqué experience. Some highlights of this establishment: - The tasting menu varies seasonally, showcasing different local ingredients. - Each dish is flavourful & beautifully arranged, with every ingredient--no matter how simple--playing a role. The focus is on discovering & appreciating high-quality local foods. They do this so well that my partner & I have found that we even enjoy ingredients we normally would not. I don't usually care for raw tomatoes, but I would eat this season's fresh tomato salad by the bowl, given the opportunity. - The staff are knowledgeable & attentive. A big part of the experience here is the staff's presentation of the dishes (& wines, if applicable) as they are brought to your table. They pay close attention to you without being obtrusive, making the pacing of the meal feel perfect as they bring out the next dish not long after you finish one. If you get up from the table, a staff member seems to magically appear to fold your napkin & pull your chair out for you as you return. - The staff are bilingual & can provide excellent service in either English or French. - They have been wonderfully accommodating of my dietary restrictions (more on that separately) & never made me feel like an inconvenience. For prospective diners, here are some points to help shape your expectations: - Interaction with staff is a big part of the tasting menu experience. If this isn't your cup of tea, the tasting menu may not be the best choice. - The focus here is on quality, not luxury or decadence. Toqué does not try to impress its guests with exotic or flashy ingredients. Expect local fruits, vegetables, & proteins, presented elegantly, with natural flavours. You will likely not be served a plate swimming in truffle oil & gold leaf. You may, however, eat the best parsnip purée of your life. - The price of the meal reflects the quality of both the food & the service. For most of us, eating here is a rare treat, but it is a treat indeed, & I have never regretted a dime spent at Toqué. All in all, Toqué has offered my family & me a delightful experience time & time again, & I cannot recommend them highly enough. My only regret is that I have not yet had the opportunity to enjoy each of their seasonal menus.

Karène fait vraiment de la bonne nourriture!! Ce soir, ses mini-brownies étaient particulièrement délicieux : elle a été chercher des ingrédients de qualité du terroir pour créer des bouchées tout simplement exquises!! Je la recommande fortement!!

Le Toque earns their high marks. The three of us chose from the ala carte menu. We split four first courses & had our own entrees. The presentation was well done. We all enjoyed everything we ordered. The service was attentive & helpful. Timing was not rushed. We had a leisurely dinner & a wonderful time. Would highly recommend! I've traveled > 5 M miles across Europe, Asia & the US & I will remember Le Toque. Great job Team Le Toque.
