Laurie Raphaël

Another fine dining spot in the Lower City, Laurie Raphaël offers a more casual environment than Panache and Initiale. Serving French and Québecois cuisine, the refined eatery changes its menu daily, but sources as much as possible from the region. Previous avant-garde dishes include baked apple with foie gras and Boileau deer with cocoa and Basque pepper. Lunch and dinner are served in the airy, contemporary dining room complete with red wildcat fur walls, and lunch boxes are available to order for a picnic along the St. Lawrence. For formal meals, diners can order the tasting menu or á la carte. Don’t miss the seasonal hunting brunch in winter.
