      And the link to La Presse's
      http://www.cyberpresse.ca/vivre/cuisi...

      Although I think the better headline would have been "Where we ate in 2011."

        Is anyone aware of a south-shore (rive-sud) list?

              Interesting about Laurie Raphael; has anyone been recently?

              The Gazette article makes me want to give it a shot...

                  thanks for completing the list (maybe journal de montreal list pending). it was interesting to see lack of consensus just as here on chowboard. I thought there were some right on comments about service issues and suggestion for health reasons to cut back on salt. Its a good way to update our lists of places to try.

                    My pleasure. I don't think that the Journal de Montreal does enough restaurant reviews to come out with a year-end best of. There are a bunch of other food bloggers who will have come out with their year-end best of, but for the most part the only media missing is La Presse.

                        MC Lortie agreed with me last year on Kazu and I agree with her this year on Le Filet. I've been there 6 times already.
