In 1993, Toqué! opened featuring local produce: a showcase for Quebec's terroir and its suppliers. The ongoing contributions of these artisans is no less important today. We have them to thank for foie gras de canard or salicornia; lamb of heirloom vegetables; seafood or fine herbs. These tireless farmers, foragers and fishermen inspire Toqué!'s cuisine, on which they bestow tastes, textures and natural aromas and unparalleled freshness.

Located in Old Montreal, between Griffintown and the Old Port, Jellyfish has quickly become a must. Ranked among the best restaurants in Montreal, Top 100 Canada 2019 by Opentable, it is a reference for the concierges of many boutique hotels in Montreal.
Neat decor, chic without pretension, Le Jellyfish offers you a dynamic atmosphere conducive to a festive evening without excess.
The crudo + charcoal aspect is the duality of the crudo and the aromas of the charcoal grill. A crudo section (oysters, tataki, tartare, sashimi, carpaccio), vegetables on the grill, hot starters, and a selection of charcoal-grilled meats and fish.

Da Emma is a hidden Italian gem located right in downtown Montreal. Since the restaurant itself is located below street level, many people pass by this little trattoria every day without realizing it. The only sign for it is painted on a nearby brick wall in black and white and consists entirely of a downward pointing arrow and the word "Emma". It is because it is a little hard to find that diners feel like they are in on a secret not everyone knows about.Inside, Da Emma goes with a sleek and modern style complete with dark wood tones and white tablecloths. The menu consists of both classic and modern Italian plates. Some of the intricate plates that the kitchen puts out include fettucini with porcini mushroom and truffle, veal breast in rosemary sauce, four cheese tortellini in alfredo sauce and house made meatballs in marinara.

    Nice atmosphere. New twists on some Greek dishes (I appreciate the courage) spanakopita salad is an example and well executed. The pastitsio iteration was a bridge too far, but I get it … the original is a classic and very tasty but doesn’t present (plate) nicely in an upscale restaurant. They tried. I’d drop it. Mousaka was as it should be. Maybe they should try the pastitio in the same onion bowl presentation. The lobster pasta was good. Bread was good (always a good sign). $90 per person with very little wine. That’s fine. Staff was accommodating without being overbearing. Worth a try
