Alma Montreal

Montréal, Canada

In Outremont, away from Montreal's downtown dining circuit, Alma operates at the intersection of modern Mexican technique, Catalan natural wine, and Quebec seasonal produce. Chef Juan Lopez Luna's monthly Carte Blanche tasting and sommelier Lindsay Brennan's direct-import wine list make this one of the city's more considered small-room experiences. The nine-course format changes with the season; the five-course option offers a shorter entry point.

Alobar Downtown

Toronto, Canada

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Alobar Downtown at 150 York St sits inside Toronto's Financial District dining conversation, where the question is less about whether a room can feed a crowd and more about whether it can hold a room's attention through the full arc of a meal. The address places it among the city's more deliberate mid-to-upper tier tables, where ritual and pacing carry as much weight as the plate itself.

ÄNKÔR

Canmore, Canada

Chef Danny Beaulieu's six-course format draws on Québécois roots and a formative stint in Sapporo and Hokkaido, translating into plates that pair Alberta ingredients with fermented, smoked, and pickled technique.
