In 1862, Henri-Maurice Perrault (an architect still remembered today for having designed the old Courthouse, City Hall, Sacré Cœur;

Coeur chapel and the church on Bonsecours street) was commissioned by Charles Wilson (the only Montreal mayor to have been elected by acclamation on three occasions) to design a building which was to be located on a site owned by him, in the heart of Old Montreal.

His work was later honored by an historian's remark :

"L'édifice empreint d'un raffinement européen possède une composition géométrique et

des détails architecturaux qui sont résolument modernes. La façade de la place Jasques-Cartier se caractérise par un fronton et une série de fenêtres bien proportionnées.

Rue de la Commune des pilastres ajoutent une note originale à la façade."

Today this antique architectural jewel built on montreal's fortifications in a three story high place of celebration where the refinement of the cuisine bring to mind the meals prepared by the Maîtres Queux (the king's chefs) at the French court.

From the express menu to the fine dinner, From the business lunch to the group reception, Chez Queux offers great food, efficient, friendly service and enchanting ambiance.
