In 1993, Toqué! opened featuring local produce: a showcase for Quebec's terroir and its suppliers. The ongoing contributions of these artisans is no less important today.

Da Emma is a hidden Italian gem located right in downtown Montreal. Since the restaurant itself is located below street level, many people pass by this little trattoria every day without realizing it. The only sign for it is painted on a nearby brick wall in black and white and consists entirely of a downward pointing arrow and the word "Emma". It is because it is a little hard to find that diners feel like they are in on a secret not everyone knows about.Inside, Da Emma goes with a sleek and modern style complete with dark wood tones and white tablecloths. The menu consists of both classic and modern Italian plates. Some of the intricate plates that the kitchen puts out include fettucini with porcini mushroom and truffle, veal breast in rosemary sauce, four cheese tortellini in alfredo sauce and house made meatballs in marinara.

    I've dined here 7 times, and each time never fails to hit the mark. In my opinion the best Keg in Montreal. The old port ambiance, paired with a perfect medium rare rib steak and Keg size drinks always makes for a perfect night, especially during the holidays!

    My daughter and I visited Aura at Notre Dame, so we wanted dinner near the venue. This restaurant was lively and upscale for our first night in Montreal. We finished at Aura early, and the hostess welcomed us never even questioning our presence despite the packed dining area. We enjoyed the salmon tatare as an appetizer. My daughter devoured the steak frites as her entree, and I did the same with the lobster. To finish, we shared the crème brûlée. While the price point is high, the service and dishes are well worth it.
