A personal access code and an unmarked door in Old Québec's 17th-century stone vaults get you in, which sets the tone for everything that follows. Tanière³ is a multi-hour, multi-room tasting menu restaurant where chef François-Emmanuel Nicol builds a progression across 15 or so courses, each one rooted in boreal Québec terroir. It holds two Michelin stars and sits on North America's 50 Best list. The non-alcoholic pairings alone have become something of a legend.
