Toqué is an expression for someone who won’t accept anything but the best, and this resto caters to that idea. Chef de cuisine, Charles-Antoine Crête (under the helm of Chef Normand Laprise), uses the season’s freshest ingredients. The fundamentals are covered: first-rate cuisine, attentive yet unobtrusive service, and subdued lighting that's perfect for stolen glances. Take a date and soak up the atmosphere; you’ll be back (probably with a different date (shh). Oh, and I know that you want to wear a warm winter hat, but that's because you're a philistine. Warmth has no place in haute cuisine.
Fourteen years ago, when we created Toqué!, we wanted to showcase Québec products and the people who worked to supply us with them. We believe, now more than ever, that we need to continue to emphasize the contribution of these suppliers, who are true artisans. We have them to thank for our products, from duck foie gras to wild glasswort, from lamb to young vegetables, and from seafood to fresh herbs. These tireless artisans inspire Toqué!’s cuisine, to which they bring various tastes, textures and natural flavours
of unparalleled freshness.
Your hosts, Christine Lamarche and Normand Laprise
