        <content>I did a search of this Board (and looked at some of the menus on the restaurant web sites)and came up with the following possibilities for  a business dinner tomorrow evening in Montreal (staying at Hotel Fairmont in old city):

*Toque!
*La Brasserie Brunoise
*Club Chasse et Peche (too "dark and clubby" for a business dinner?)
*APDC

The food should be very good to excellent.  Price range moderate to expensive (apps US$15, entrees US$30-ish). A good wine list is important.  The atmosphere needs to be appropriate for a business dinner.

Really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.  Thanks in advance.  We will report back on our experience.

      <content>Toque! might be too expensive, I would have suggested going there for lunch instead.
Brunoise, tomorrow, on a game night, probably not the best time.
CCeP, you're probably right, dark, but not clubby at all.
APDC, way too "raunchy" and loud for a business dinner.

Couple of suggestions  : 
La Chronique (they have a new "7@9" special from sunday to thursday at $50 (4 servings)
Lemeac (good wine list)
Decca 77
La Mont&#233;e (the recent favorite of MTL's Chowhounds)</content>

      <content>They ended up going to Europea.  It was perfect and I heard a foie gras app was very good.   I'll post a report shortly.  Thanks!</content>

      <content>hungryann, how was your experience?  Should it be on my list of  "only 6 restaurants"?</content>

      <content>It was lovely back in March and I returned just last week for the 10 course menu degustation. Everything was exceptional. I love their lobster bisque cappuccino with truffles. If you do the 10 course tasting though, be prepared to spend a good 4 hrs there.</content>
