Concierge.com's insider take:
Despite the French name of this eatery, the lineage of Normand Laprise's cuisine is strictly Berkeley, which means the veneration of local ingredients, many from Québec). Seared razor clams with marinated shiitakes and roasted salsify, guinea fowl with a turnip galette, and roast leg and braised flank of suckling pig with chanterelles and puréed chervil root (yes, root) are typical here. Laprise has been garnering raves from all over since 1993, so you need to book a weekend dinner a month in advance: Toqué moved to the Quartier International from Saint Denis Street in 2004, yet its roomy new dining room (done up in glass, wood, and steel with burgundy upholstery) is as packed as ever.
Closed Sundays and Mondays.
