Description:
No gastronomic tour of Montréal would be complete without the authentic flavors of Québecois cuisine. Step into the promenade of the Hôtel Place d'Armes and discover the juxtaposition of earthy flavors amidst the urban chic of Aix. Here the curving banquettes and sheer fabric hangings create intimate spaces in which to enjoy a smoked rack of wild boar or roasted caribou. For those less adventurous, tender veal or duck breast make excellent choices. Each and every menu item bears the stamp of local Canadian production from vegetables to vinegar. |

Chez Noeser |
|
(Restaurants - Quebecois) |
|
236 Champlain Dr, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu J3B 2B6 450-346-0811
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
Just a short jaunt off the well-beaten Montréal city streets is Noeser, a sweet little place tucked into a bed & breakfast 20 minutes drive from the Champlain Bridge. Bring your own wine and settle into a room with deeply colored walls and low ceilings and enjoy the bounty of Chef Denis' vision. The menu changes regularly, and sometimes features other international cuisines but one thing is constant: the use of seasonal produce and local meat, fish and game. In summer the terrace is a delight to the eye as well as the nose: herbs and flowers are bountiful and it is quite common to see someone dart out of the kitchen and pinch a small bouquet to garnish a plate. 5- or 8-course meals available. |

(Restaurants - Quebecois) |

|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
If rustic and sleek could be said in the same description, it would certainly be in the dining room and in the dishes of Verses, in the hip Hotel Nelligan. The contemporary chic of tall mirrors and simple furnishings, set against a backdrop of brick walls and an abundance of natural light, complement the cuisine which is French with a Québécois twist. The chef works exclusively with fresh market produce and other local ingredients to craft Québec lamb, rack of Boileau deer with caramelized apples and Angus beef filet with noisette de foie gras. A standout for lunch, or dine on light fare on the terrasse. |
