Montréal has a certain Parisian flair to it. Many of its restaurants embrace this sophisticated, elegant French ambience, offering guests a dining experience on par with those found in the Rive Gauche. Nuances is one such restaurant. This stylish, modern bistro, located within the Montréal Casino, is swathed in soothing earth tones and decorated with original works by local artists custom-designed for the space. The upscale menu stars exquisitely updated French cuisine assembled from a cast of nature’s best seasonal products. Signature plates include salmon fume with potato galette and herbed cream, earthenware-baked loin of lamb, and a steamy hot chocolate cake served with vanilla sauce. Both the chef and the sommelier developed the wine list, so the selections match up nicely with the très Français menu.
