In creating Toqué!, more than twenty years ago, we wanted to showcase the Quebec products and the work of those who supply us. We want more than ever to acknowledge the contribution of these suppliers who deserve the glorious title of artisans. We owe them the foie gras or samphire; lamb or vegetables, seafood or herbs. These tireless artisans inspire the cuisine of Toqué! to which they bring the flavors, textures and natural aromas of irreproachable freshness. We are members of Relais & Châteaux and Grandes Tables du Monde.
Toqué. is widely regarded as a premier culinary destination in Montreal, consistently delivering a sophisticated fine dining experience defined by precision, consistency, and a deep respect for seasonal Quebec ingredients. Guests frequently praise the artistic presentation, balanced flavors, and the thoughtful execution of both the tasting menus and à la carte options. While the restaurant is recognized for being a premium investment, many diners feel the high level of service, elegant atmosphere, and professional wine pairings justify the cost for special occasions. The staff is consistently highlighted for being attentive, warm, and highly knowledgeable, contributing to a welcoming environment that balances formal excellence with genuine hospitality. Whether visiting for the lively lunch service or an immersive evening dinner, patrons often describe the experience as memorable and reflective of the highest standards in gastronomy.
I had the most wonderful evening at Toque! I ordered the champagne tasting, oysters, the degustation menu & the wine pairing. Everything was wonderful starting with the team. They were kind enough open their patio just for me!! I will be back next time I am in Montreal ! I highly recommend !!
Had a beautiful meal with friends here. We didn't want a long dinner so we opted for the a la cart & it was exceptional. I had the beef carpaccio & the lobster cavatelli. Both were delicious! The interior had very odd color choices & felt quite dated however that didn't detract from the food.
Went for lunch, amazing food & service, surprised me positively. Had an off-menu lobster/asparagus dish (very good), a pasta dish with mushrooms & other stuff (strong woodsy flavor that I loved), & a maple-based dessert (amazing). They have good optional wine pairings in the lunch table d'hote menu with half-glass or full-glass options which is great if you don't want to drink too much, & unlike most high-end wine pairings worldwide, these actually pair well with the dishes. Will probably come back for the dinner menu next time I'm in town.
L'expérience au Toqué résumée en un mot: Maîtrise. Acceuil courtois, décor chic & moderne, chaises confortables, musique d'ambiance. Service professionnel, on suit les étapes à la lettre. Cuisine maîtrisée. Les sauces, cuissons, assaisonnements sont exécutés parfaitement. Tout est excellent, chaud, beau, sans erreur notable. Tout est (presque) parfait. Ça répond parfaitement aux attentes que j'avais. Mais il y a un hic: On se croirait dans une représentation générique d'un restaurant gastronomique Montréalais. La définition dans le dictionnaire. À part l'excellente qualité des produits (locaux 🥳), de la cuisine, du service & du mobilier, qu'est-ce qui fait que le Toqué est le Toqué? J'aurais aimé que ça me saute aux yeux.
Foie gras de canard, doré, & chocolate torte were an excellent mix of flavours with perfect presentation. Rioja wine pairing worked well. The limoncello-chartreuse-gin cocktail of the day was well balanced but could have had better presentation considering how elaborate the food was. Excellent service from both the hostess & server. Friendly, helpful, & efficient. Cute decor, could have put a little more effort into music.
Went for our anniversary dinner had a wonderful experience very nice quiet atmosphere custom made non alcoholic cocktails were made to our liking. I am celiac & the kitchen was very accommodating including making a few custom dishes just for me when I couldn't have others on the tasting menu. Would recommend. In fact I have reservations to go again later in the yea
Fabulous fine dining showcasing local Quebec producers with seasonal offerings . Superbly presented food with exceptional service & a huge wine list assisted by a great Sommelier . What a treat !
