Inventive French market cuisine with a refined wine list
"Celebrated for market-driven French cooking, I observed that the menu changes with the seasons and reflects a commitment to sourcing the best available ingredients." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This is one of the oldest and most respected establishments on the Montreal restaurant scene. It continues to appeal through the ages thanks to its distinct sophistication, formal service, comfortable dining space, and elegant cuisine. A major plus: you can choose between tasting menus with multiple courses or dine à la carte. Fine ingredients such as Hokkaido scallops and Arctic char from the Gaspé Peninsula are treated with respect and showcased in carefully prepared dishes. Dessert is a highlight, exemplified by their delicious and perfectly executed cream puff. The expertly compiled wine list has some terrific novel choices in store for you." - Michelin Inspector
"This near flawless French restaurant offers one private room with a capacity of 24, where the chefs will create a custom menu for your event, as well as a semi-private mezzanine for eight." - JP Karwacki
"Listed among notable French restaurants in Montreal, this spot is recommended for high-quality French fare alongside other big-name bistros." - Valerie Silva
"La Chronique opened in 1995 and has regularly been on the lists of Montréal's top restaurants for more than 25 years. Chef/owner Marc De Canck is originally from Belgium but has long been one of the leading figures in the city's culinary scene, often mentioned in the same breath as his contemporary Normand Laprise. While the latter has a reputation for sometimes daring and flashy presentations, De Canck is known for simpler but always impressive dishes. Today the kitchen is overseen by Olivier de Montigny, De Canck's stepson, who upholds the restaurant's reputation by continuing to serve classic French dishes—foie gras, sweetbreads, and perfectly prepared fish from the Atlantic and Québec's lakes and streams. La Chronique is not trendy, but it's a consistently reliable favorite if you want to enjoy an elegant meal, flawlessly prepared, during your time in Montréal."
