Toque
If you're looking for a high scale, amazing restaurant near the heart of Montreal, than you can't miss toque. The service was amazing and the food was too. The ambiance was like the cherry on top, which tied everything together. Toque is contemporary in their food and ambiance.

Appetizers:
When you go to Toque you MUST try the rabbits leg for an appetizer. It is served with sliced radish and pickled squash, carrots and cucumber. It sits over a glaze, which gives the lamb a kick and brings the dish together. The lamb is tender and there is an abundant amount of it so it will fill you up just enough to get you ready for the main course. Another appetizer that is great for lunch is the parsnip soup. It was creamy yet at the same time light. There is not much to say about it. The simplicity lets it shine. Another light lunch appetizer is the chicken liver mouse. It comes with popcorn on the plate along with mixed greens and a little bit of sweet jelly. It wasn't to my liking but other people on the table who tried it liked it.
Main course:
For a main course at toque when you go for lunch, you have to try the venison. It looked so good three people on our table had it. The venison wasn't too gamey which was good. It was served with cauliflower purée, edible flowers, mushrooms and an amazing glaze. The glaze and all the components on the plate really shined and went well together. The flowers and purée cut out the very strong gaminess of the venison and the mushrooms tied everything together, which made an amazing dish. Another dish you try for lunch is the lamb parmentier. It is kind of like a "fancy version of shepherds pie". It was just DELICIOUS
DESERT:
For desert we had the maple moose. On top was a maple carmalized cookie like dessert, and under a breath taking moose. The moose was so soft and smoothe and the cookie gave it a nice crunch.
