Fodor's Review:

Toqué is slang for "just a little mad," and the name fit when Chef Normand Laprise catered to the überhip in a bright and funky storefront on rue St-Denis. But there's nothing mad or crazy about his current gray-and-burgundy home on the ground floor of a glass tower, or about the pin-striped, expense-account crowd it attracts. Still, Laprise—the earliest champion of home-grown Québec products—hasn't lost his touch with the food. The menu changes daily, depending on what he finds at the market, but dinner could start with ravioli stuffed with braised duck followed by lamb from the Gatineau Valley. For dessert, cross your fingers and hope the almond-crusted blueberry pie is on the menu.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Toque simply doesn't live up to the hype and there are other places where the food, ambience and value are a better choice.

Way too expensive and size of the portions is ridiculous. Rack of lamb at $60.00 for three tiny ribs. Cheese by the gram, they must be kidding.
Will not repeat.

The waiters are stiff (they wear StarTreck like uniforms)and not very polite. I guess they try so hard to be proper that they become anoying. As a French person and a good cook, I can do much better at home and under $500.00 (for 4 ) with wine! The decor is 70's and boring! Will not go by or recommend.
