S'il fut un temps où les tables hôtelières n'avaient rien d'exceptionnel, aujourd'hui, certaines sont devenues de petites perles gastronomiques ...
Le chef travaille avec les producteurs de la région. À essayer : l’impressionnante tour de fruits de mer garnie de crabe, de homard, d’huîtres et d’autres délices de la mer. Parmi les spécialités de la maison, le pâté croûte du chef, le foie gras torchon au cidre de glace, le pressé de short ribs ou la salade niçoise au thon rouge. Il est acériculteur et apiculteur, en plus de diriger les cuisines du H3 et de ses grands frères, le restaurant [Le coureur des bois](https://restaurantcoureurdesbois.com/) (une autre très bonne table hôtelière) et [La cabane du coureur](http://cabaneducoureur.ca/). Avec lui, les fruits de mer et les poissons ont une place de choix à table. Il a donc imaginé un menu de brasserie gastronomique mettant en valeur la cuisine et la nordicité des plats de Montréal. Le canard et l’agneau du Québec, la morue noire de la Colombie-Britannique se taillent également une place de choix sur le menu, en plus de plats végétariens. La star a été séduite par l’offre culinaire du Québec et par la qualité de ses produits locaux. Exemples de combinaisons : pétoncles en sauce vanille de Tahiti, foie gras à l’ananas et tarte aux fruits de la passion. Le chef travaille avec soin les produits locaux, tels que les cuisses ou les magrets de canard, le doré ou l’omble chevalier du Québec et, en ce moment, les produits de l’érable. La touche personnelle du chef actuel, d’origine bourguignonne, se voit dans l’ajout de plats, comme les escargots, travaillés de façon gastronomique et proposés sur la carte du soir. C’est donc la vision culinaire du chef français Daniel Boulud qui a teinté les menus du Ritz de Montréal.
