Restaurant de l’Institut

Apart from the name, you’d never know that this restaurant is run largely by students from the Institut de Tourisme et d’Hôtellerie du Québec. The menu reflects of-the-moment experimentation by beginner chefs and is presented by warm and eager wait staff in training. For value, try the C$20 three-course lunch (served weekdays) or the C$25 and C$35 three-course dinners (Tues–Wed evenings). Floor-to-ceiling windows and louvered wooden blinds add elegance to the comfortable dining room. Upstairs is a training hotel at a remarkably good value.
