Modern Quebecois cuisine draws inspiration from several sources:
American, Norman (from the French region of Normandy), classic
French and Nouvelle Cuisine.
Select Quebecois Restaurants- Aix Cuisine du Terroir
711 Côte de la Place d'Armes (Old Montreal), (514) 904-1201
Aix offers French-inspired "country" cuisine.
- 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 rue Laurier Ouest (Mile End), (514) 271-3095
Eclectic "market cuisine" restaurant;
winner of many gastronomical awards.
- 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.
