Modern Quebecois cuisine draws inspiration from several sources:
American, Norman (from the French region of Normandy), classic
French and Nouvelle Cuisine.
Selected Quebecois Restaurants- Aix Cuisine du Terroir
711 Côte de la Place d'Armes (Old Montreal), (514) 904-1201 Aix offers French-inspired "country" cuisine.
- Aszú
212 rue Notre Dame Ouest (Old Montreal), (514) 845-5436 Aszú pays particular attention to creating
dishes that pair well with its extensive wine list.
- Au Pied de Cochon
536 rue Duluth Est (Plateau Mont Royal), (514) 281-1114 Chef-owner Martin Picard has basically built his restaurant around
the concept of over-indulgence. Foie gras is all over the menu, not
only in the section devoted to it.
- La Chronique
99 ave Laurier Ouest (Mile End), (514) 271-3095 Eclectic "market cuisine" restaurant;
winner of many gastronomical awards.
- L'Appartement
600 rue William (Cité Multimédia), (514) 866-6606 Contemporary market cuisine restaurant and bar.
- Toqué!
900 place Jean-Paul Riopelle (Quartier International), (514) 499-2084 One of the quintessential Montreal restaurants, popular with
moneyed out-of-town foodies eager to get a taste of
Québec cooking.
Not everyone was happy when the restaurant moved to its
current location, but apparently the move didn't diminish the
restaurant's qualities - Toqué! is still considered one of
the best restaurants in Montreal.
