Immediate help needed. We just moved to Montreal last weekend (yay!) and today’s my birthday! We want to celebrate. Originally we had thought to go to Toque, but upon searching the board I realize that my Montreal...

like Toque or Pied de Cochon are not near our hotel. Can you recommend some excellent restaurants in this dowtown area, preferably within a few blocks of the hotel (Rue de la Montagne and Boul. de Maisonneuve)? Thanks!

Heading to L.A and San Francisco on the 18th. We are staying 4 days in L.A (West Hollywood near CBS) then flying to San Fran. Here are a few places I have on my mind: -Pink’s -Mozza (for Lunch since I know dinner reservations...

at the Omni Hotel (downtown): The Chef is a top toque! He’ll prepare it in such deliciously creative ways. Get his famous mimosa salad appetizer. Great views, window panels. He’ll even come out to make sure your...

The folks who are/were trying to provide either a michelin style expreience or meld local style with what would at most garner one star - Melisse – if they would cut the tables to half, etc. the old Ken Frank restaurant La...

because it’s an L.A. institution does not mean it’s good. I’ve had many a breakfast (sans salsa!) there and IMO it’s a dreadful place. Greasy, mediocre food. Great atmosphere, though. I think you’re...

No, Tres Agaves hasn’t opened an East Bay branch selling twelve dollar tortas ... and I complained about Slanted Door’s seven buck banh mi. There is only one big-priced torta at La Guarecita. It is the Cubana Suprema and I haven’t...

You might try La Toque. It’s in Rutherfood and we have never been disappointed there. Very much like the FL just a little more laid back.

Ken Frank has opened La Toque at the Rancho Caymus Inn in Rutherford. I haven’t had a meal there yet. The reports of which I’m aware are that his kitchen is producing good food, but not yet at the level that you would...

hello, you did not mention terra or la toque in your “been there” list. they both have numerous favorable posts. we had a very good meal at terra and would go back, have yet to get to la toque. cheers

Try La Toque in Rutherford located at the Rancho Caymus Inn. WE also enjoy Terra in St. Helena. *kim*

The very best meals I’ve had in the US were at La Toque, in Rutherford. I can’t recommend it highly enough. The space is so welcoming, the wait-staff so top-notch in every way, Ken Frank’s food so spectacular,...

Remembering Ken Frank from the original LA TOQUE in L.A.,went to his new LA TOQUE while in Napa recently. We were a party of six so that I had an opportunity to taste a number of dishes. I and another Chowhound had the special...

Any favorites in Montreal, is Toque still as wonderful as it sounds? Thanks
