"There's something about chef Marcus Samuelsson's Canadian debut at the Four Seasons Montreal that transcends the typical "slap a name on it" celebrity-chef-in-a-hotel restaurant. From the design to the menu, it has a special feel to it. Splurge on a seafood tower ($170 CAD), then go for one of the well-seasoned crudos (we loved the yellowtail with chilis and wheat berries). A robata grill section of the menu feels particularly in-step with dining trends elsewhere. The whole-grilled sea bass is perfectly executed, and—even at $220 CAD—the tomahawk steak with shishito peppers and wild mushrooms is a satisfying choice." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
