Passionate practitioners of their craft, Yves Mattagne and Normand Laprise have invited Marc De Canck, the great Brussels-born Montreal chef of La Chronique, to join them. He will prepare the appetizers and sweet finger foods for this prestigious meal.

Toqué! à l'opéra de Montréal
L’OPÉRA DE MONTRÉAL
On four occasions throughout the operatic season, Chef Laprise and his brigade will join with Pierre Birlichi of Raisonnance wines agency who conceived the unique idea of gourmet evenings staged in the costume workshop of the Opera located under the main stage. That is where “the little hands” create their magic and where 8 guests and a sponsor will gather for a special signature dinner by Toqué! with Relais & Châteaux service in fine china and crystal. As the wines are oganic participants will doubtless remain awake for the stirring, splendid sounds of the opera after dinner. Benefits raised with these evenings are donated to the Opéra de Montréal demonstrating the harmony between the culinary arts, winemaking and the stage.

February 11th and 14th, Menu St-Valentin at Toqué!
Lovers, love birds, husbands and wives, friends…virtually the entire planet celebrates love around St.Valentine’s day.
“Seduce with food” as Casanova would have said. And history reveals, like other famous seducers or notorious courtesans that the game of love and seduction begins first and foremost…at the table.
On February 11 and 14th, Toqué! is offering a special tasting menu unique to St.Valentine’s day.
It’s a unique chance to succumb to temptation with impeccable products, reinvented classics, creations of the moment and seductive wines selected by Samuel, chief sommelier and master guide of these exceptional evenings. Some superlative items on the surprise menu of Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux Normand Laprise will include a foie gras terrine passionately prepared and accompanied by a waffle of buckthorn berries and for dessert a “fake truffle” to conquer the taste buds of dashing Casanovas and sweet Columbines.
The single prix fixe menu features eight courses ($110) with six accompanying glasses of wine ($80) for the two special evenings. Reservations are recommended: 514-499-2084
