The city is known to be a culinary hot spot across the world, and there really is no denying how astounding our food scene is. After including two Montreal restaurants in its list of Travel Guide Star Awards winners, Forbes would agree.
The media released the winners of its 2022 Star Awards on April 26, recognizing the "most outstanding hotels, restaurants and spas" across the globe that travellers just have to visit.
A total of 253 restaurants made up the best of the best when it comes to international food and Montreal seized two of those spots.
Forbes pretty much sends secret agents... okay, not agents, but inspectors, to luxury hotels, restaurants and spas across the world in order to compile the award-winning list.
"Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest," Forbes stated.
So, which two acclaimed Montreal restaurants actually made the list?
Maison Boulud
Award Ranking: 4 Star
Cuisine: French
Address: Ritz-Carlton, 1228, rue Sherbrooke O., Montreal, QC
Why You Should Go: Executive Chef Romain Cagnat* is behind this restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The delish spot is known for creating a perfect balance of luxury and comfort with a menu that can only be described as bold, creative, and whimsical.
Toque!
Award Ranking: 4 Star
Cuisine: Québecois
Address: 900, Pl. Jean-Paul-Riopelle, Montréal, QC
Why You Should Go: Toque! mixes luxurious and contemporary together to create a menu of which you will definitely want to get a taste.
