LA CUISINE
We still look to Alain Chapel a lot. La Cuisine -- it’s really bourgeois cooking, which is what we do.

Au Pied de Cochon has a sugar shack in Mirabel, 30 minutes north of the city, it’s open from March to June. It’s Martin Picard gone mad. It’s a shack with a dining room, a killer kitchen and pigs running amok outdoors, and all the Quebec maple syrup lumberjack favorites with his loving touch.

Late night in Montreal is all about L'Express, open till 2, French cuisine and unreal inexpensive wine list. Ask your waiter for the second wine list. I always eat veal kidneys here, always!

LES CONS SERVENT
Chef Stelio Perombelom is classically trained in Montreal and Europe, he cooks very well, great natural wine list, great lofty room, as well fits the locals only tag. Stelio’s food is always an ingredient driven. It’s the kind of 2 to 3 ingredient cooking I like!

LE MAS DES OLIVIERS
It’s a locals only politician haunt, the writer Mordecai Richler held court there often. Bordeaux and Rhone wines, beef tartare, terrine de lapin, liver and kidneys. I love this place, it’s a time machine!

The restaurant I see myself growing old in is Restaurant Chartier in the ninth arrondissement in Paris. It’s been open since 1896, if you have not been there, you must. Very simple food, celery remoulade, radishes and butter, hard boiled eggs mayonnaise. It’s not a gastro place, it’s all ambiance and the real Paris.

NORA GRAY
Southern Italian cooking. Right near Joe Beef and Liverpool House in the Little Burgundy neighborhood. They are two of our kids, that left with our blessing and opened it. Ryan Gray and Emma Cardarelli are very, very good. In Montreal right now, that’s the place.

Chef Riad Nasr is one of the best chefs in NY. I had text book perfect French food at Minetta Tavern and wine that blew my socks off. It was the best meal I’ve had in ten years.

LA CUISINE DU MARCHE
It’s just solid. Big guy, masculine, cooking the classics. Even to this day, we work everyday and we haven’t gone through the repertoire yet. It’s the last book of the craft of cooking and even today, it’s still super fresh.
