Rank 2. Au Pâturage - Espace Gourmand
Modern Cuisine
A converted theatre holds chef Chloé Ouellet's farm-to-table operation, where fifty varieties of vegetables from her own gardens anchor a set multi-course menu built on instinct and precision.

Modern Cuisine
In a brick-lined loft on a quiet Trois-Rivières street, Épi serves shareable plates built from local ingredients with the precision of someone who learned to bake before they learned to cook.

Rank 6. Le Hatley
Modern Cuisine
On a lakeside estate, Chef Alexandre Vachon works with Québec ingredients in precise, architecturally composed dishes—scallops with sea urchin, Sterling beef paired with onion condiment—that honor classical technique while pursuing bold combinations. The dining room overlooks Lake Massawippi; the wine list is thoughtfully curated; the service unfolds without fuss.
