About us

With their rigorous climate marked by a distinct seasonal cycle, northern territories are gifted with unique fauna and flora adapted to their extreme reality: game, fresh water fish, wild fruit, forest mushrooms, lichen… inspired by these unique elements, a rising number of chefs are exploring this once neglected exceptional culinary legacy.

In Quebec, Jean-Luc Boulay and Arnaud Marchand, supported by a passionate team, have been standing up to the challenge of inventing quebec inspired northern cuisine since 2012. Connecting the abundant proximity of boreal forests and the exceptional quality of local products, they salvage amidst french techniques to favour a true encounter of flavours. Local, healthy and inventive, the Northern cuisine from Quebec expresses within each bite the very best of our emerging culinary tradition.

Everywhere that does french onion soup needs to be doing it the way they do it at this restaurant. It is so much better to have a small crostini with cheese on it to dip into your soup instead of having a massive wad of cheese sitting on top of your soup. That's really chewy & ultimately detracts from the experience of having french onion soup. They also do something special to the French onions or to the sauce or soup that it's in because it is extremely tasty in a way that I have never had before. The rest of this restaurant is also really great, but the soup was the standout feature in addition to the beef cheek & the bison steak

Food was good but not what was expected based on all the reviews. They were out of all specials at our 8:30 pm reservation which was made a month in advance. The restaurant is large with lots of tables - not on the positive side. Ambiance lacking. Our female server was always antsy & hurried. She never slowed down to speak to us about anything & basically just acted as an order taker. If we hesitated at all with our ordering (cocktails, etc.) she would run off. The terrine de foie gras app was the only exceptional thing about our visit. The main courses were good, not great ( beef cheeks, chicken, flat iron.) We opted out of desserts due to lackluster food & service. We had much better experiences overall at other establishments during our week in QC.

Good lunch in a comfortable room. Salad or soup that come with the meal are better than the typical. Cavatelli with broccoli & local cheese was light & perfectly executed. Lean, flaky beef cheeks with a complimentary ratatouille was superb. Check out their store. More on Eatingwithziggy[.com]

This restaurant seamlessly blends modern charm with Nordic flavors, making it a perfect introduction to this culinary realm. Quick & accommodating service enhances the serene atmosphere. Take advantage of the standout beef cheek, a tender masterpiece. With a perfect wine & cider selection, this brief escape promises a delightful first-time journey into Nordic culinary excellence.

The French Onion Soup & the Beef tongue were literally perfection. It melts in your mouth. This is currently my favorite restaurant of all time, & I am upset it's not in my hometown.
