I'm looking for recommendations for a wedding gift certificate ($200.00 US dollars) for friends who are marrying in Boston and live in Montreal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Searching is, as many have noted, overwhelming. These guys love to eat and love the high life. Thanks!

Perhaps you might want to start by taking a peek there first, and post any follow-up questions here if you need more deets on any particular place? http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/643621 Good luck!

The list is very helpful and I'll check it out carefully today and get back if I have questions, Fri Nov 06 03:46:05 -0800 2009 5159707 24075 onefineleo 1 5160501 If French is the key word, Europea and Laloux are probably the best fine dining bets. La Porte is IMHO a step below. While its backbone may be French , I think its a stretch to characterize La Chronique as a French restaurant, but it is my favourite place to eat in Montreal.
