L'Initiale
L'Initiale Review
A contemporary setting and gracious service place L'Initiale in the upper echelon of restaurants in this city; it's a member of the Relais & Châteaux group. Widely spaced tables favor intimate dining, and the warm brown-and-cream interior is cozy. But don't rush to your table. Begin your night in the lounge, where you can peruse the menu at your leisure. Chef Yvan Lebrun roasts many of the meats over a spit: this produces a unique taste, particularly with lamb. The constantly changing menu follows the whims of the chef and the season. Try the foie gras or the lamb. There's also a C$129 eight-course menu dégustation. For dessert, many small treats are arranged attractively on a single plate. After dinner, return to the lounge for your coffee.
