En créant Toqué!, il y a plus de vingt ans, nous tenions à mettre en valeur les produits du terroir québécois et le travail de ceux qui nous ravitaillaient. Nous tenons plus que jamais à souligner la contribution de ces fournisseurs qui méritent le titre glorieux d’artisans. Nous leur devons le foie gras de canard ou la salicorne; l’agneau ou les petits légumes, les fruits de mer ou les fines herbes. Ces infatigables artisans inspirent la cuisine de Toqué! à laquelle ils apportent des saveurs, des textures et des arômes naturels d’une irréprochable fraîcheur. Nous sommes membres Relais & Châteaux et des Grandes Tables du Monde.

De nombreux convives apprécient l'élégance du cadre et le professionnalisme d'un personnel attentionné, soucieux de créer des moments mémorables pour les grandes occasions.

Don't let the understated look of the restaurant fool you. Toqué! is all about what happens on the plate. The cuisine is not only delicious but also showcases local ingredients in creative & original ways. Every combination of flavors felt perfectly balanced, & the wine pairings elevated the experience even more. The service was attentive & professional throughout the meal. Without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences I've had.
Terrible experience, from the moment I walked in I was greeted with warmth & seated promptly. My server immediately came over as did the server's assistant to bring bottled water, bread. I can go further in depth to include the sommelier who recommended outstanding wine & Marriane who indulged me in conversation though she was serving another table. Toqué! has elevated my expectation of the dining experience that cuts across food, service & atmmosphere. Wonderful dinner: Grilled lobster with oyster mushrooms, sweet & sour elderberry, verjuice, miso sauce for appetizer, Beef aged according to the cut bok choy, miso, maitake mushrooms, Swiss chard, red wine sauce for main course, for dessert I had guilt free The Comtomme
fried enoki, lemon balm, sour cream & mascarpone, togarashi & Raspberry cream/ Lemon cream, yuzu sponge cake, lavender, Earl Grey tea ice cream. The lobster was paired with Cuvée Domaine, Jurançon Sec follwoed by Le Bourgogne Pinot Noir'Sous Montot' du Domaine David Moreau. Thank you Toqué! for elevating my dining experience tonight.
The service was excellent. Everything else was a masterclass in hiding mediocrity behind legacy prestige. At $850 for two people with tasting menus & wine pairings (the cheaper of the two pairing options), this was bar-none the most insulting value proposition I've experienced in Montréal fine dining. The city has dramatically better food available for a fraction of the cost. When the highlight of the evening is the sourdough bread, something has gone terribly wrong. Not a single dish was memorable in a positive way. The foie gras resembled a generic pâté more than a refined preparation. The steak course was laughable: two tiny cubes of beef, both tough, one visibly gray. The halibut was astonishingly bland, even for a delicate fish. Nearly every plate relied on presentation to distract from the fact that the flavours themselves were incoherent, timid, or outright poor. The garnishes & accompaniments felt assembled for visual effect rather than culinary purpose. Nothing tasted composed. Nothing tasted inspired. Nothing justified the price. The sommelier was knowledgeable & the pairings were competent, but no amount of wine can rescue food this uninspired. This restaurant evidently survives on reputation accumulated decades ago. If this meal reflects the current state of the kitchen, then the name is carrying far more weight than the cuisine. Strip away the historic prestige & this is simply not a serious top-tier restaurant anymore. Honestly, given what happened to Brasserie T, this felt less like a celebrated institution & more like a brand nearing the end of its relevance. Don't be fooled by the'Michelin Recommended' status... it rightfully earned zero stars. Your money, time, & attention would surely be better spent elsewhere. This was shameful.

Toqué! is one of those rare institutions that justifies its reputation, particularly during the lunch service which offers a lighter, high-energy alternative to the formal dinner experience.
Having visited twice now for lunch, it's clear the kitchen's strength lies in its consistency & its focus on Quebec's seasonal terroir. The dining room, with its polished glass wine cellar & vibrant accents, feels upscale without being stuffy. It is the kind of place where the service is a science, yet the atmosphere remains accessible.
The plates are consistently artful, often highlighting a balance between rich proteins & sharp, fresh components. Starters like the foie gras terrine with its smooth consistency & fruit purée accents, or the confit trout with nasturtium oil, are technical standouts. For the mains, the walleye with caper beurre blanc & the butcher's cut of lamb demonstrate why the restaurant has remained a flagship for over thirty years. While it is certainly a premium experience, the lunch set menu remains one of the best values in Montreal for this level of gastronomy.
An unforgettable evening crafted by François?Emmanuel Nicol, the brilliant chef behind Québec City's two?Michelin?star Tanière³. The nine?course tasting menu with wine pairings was executed with absolute mastery. The venison main course was transcendent-perfectly prepared, deeply flavorful, & easily one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. & the surprise dessert of caviar & crème brûlée was a stroke of genius, balancing luxury, texture, & sweetness with remarkable precision. An exceptional culinary experience from start to finish.
Excellent & beautiful restaurant. I started with the foie gras terrine & was largely expecting a good terrine similar to multiple Montreal bistros. Toque's dish was incredible, the flavors, the consistency, was both great & very unique. It is a dish you should not miss. I also enjoyed the black cod, cooked perfectly, tender & melted in my mouth. The restaurant itself is elegant, with a very cool open wine cellar.
Never get full in toque order. A la carte is like tasting size. But the service is good & wine list is nice. The lamb cut is not recommended at all as the fat on top not crispy with chewy ligament.
Absolutely amazing! The service was exemplary. Simon was gracious, attentive & accommodating. The sommelier was knowledgeable & willing to discuss wine choices. The maitre d'hotel was aware of everything that was happening. The food was a gastronomic delight. The wine pairings, close to perfect. This was a once in a lifetime experience.
The staff were very attentive, even from the message I sent when making my reservation. They also greeted me with a smile & courtesy after I arrived. I chose the seven-course tasting menu. All the dishes were delicately & beautifully presented & delicious. The waitress explained each dish clearly, allowing me to enjoy the meal. I usually pair my wine with wine, but unfortunately I had drunk too much the night before & couldn't enjoy the wine. As I was leaving, they even made a special Japanese menu rist for me as a gift, since I'm Japanese. I really appreciated their thoughtfulness. I'd definitely like to come back & dine here again when I'm in Montreal. I highly recommend this restaurant.
