All inclusive (hotel, dinner) get away
Quick report back - I ended up purchasing a beautifully packaged $500 value gift certificate offered by the St. Germain for a one night stay with a 5-course tasting menu at Laurier Raphael and breakfast the next morning. It seemed too good to be true...and unfortunately it was. My friends finally used it for the Valentine's Day weekend last month. The hotel/restaurant did not honour the 5-course promise and they were given the choice of three courses or paying more seven. The service was abominable - half hour wait at the table before they were even spoken to. The next day at breakfast, there was another half hour wait while they washed enough plates to be able to serve breakfast. Quite disappointing to hear this feedback from a treasured friend.

Looking upscale, always with an eye to value price ratio, but generally price not an option.

Some great ideas I wasn't aware of. I forgot that there was a Montreal location for Laurie Raphael, which was my top choice if I was going to do the gift for Quebec.
Is there anyone with recent experiences at the above. I searched the board, but there were minimal detailed replies for XO, Aix, Vauvert.

Is anyone aware of a high quality restaurant that is based in a hotel in Montreal or has a partnership with a hotel? I'm looking for a wedding gift for a couple and was hoping to get a combined deal with a hotel and restaurant in Montreal for a get away. I've left it a little late to coordinate gift certificates between multiple venues.This couple (and us too) have enjoyed many good Montreal restaurants (Toqué, Lemeac, Ariel ...)
Thanks!
