FINE DINING

Le Mousso

Number 16 on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants 2020 list, Le Mousso serves tasting menus, in which the dishes are simply named after key elements, like ‘sea urchin, hazelnut, caviar’, or ‘honey, buckwheat, peach’. And the food is as pleasing to the eye as the palate. lemousso.com

Toqué!

Acclaimed chef Normand Laprise is passionate about local produce; during your meal, expect to see producers drop off chanterelle mushrooms or biodynamic ice cider and stay for a drink at the bar. Be sure to order the confit maple duck breast. restaurant-toque.com

Portus 360

Served on the rotating 30th floor of a former hotel in Old Montreal, the Portuguese cuisine from chef Helena Loureiro comes with a side of city views. Expect ultra-fresh ingredients in dishes such as pork and clams, and seafood rice, served in a lobster shell. portus360.com
