"Walk into Tora-Ya, and you’ll be greeted with a loud “irasshaimase!” (“welcome, please come in!”) along with the tantalizing smell of slow-simmering broths prepared according to chef and owner Miyano Sakai’s family recipes. The wait can be long for this popular ramen, especially in Quebec City’s colder months, and the restaurant doesn’t offer reservations. But every menu option is available for takeout. And to drink, there’s an impressive list of privately imported sakes, including organic options." - Allison Van Rassel
