About

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.

Première fois dans ce restaurant. Les assiettes sont un plaisir pour les yeux. Je l'ai regardé une bonne grosse minute avant d'y goûter, juste pour laisser mon cerveau regarder tous les détails! J'ai pris l'assiette du pêcheur au brunch. Meilleure assiette de brunch que j'ai mangé de ma vie dans un restaurant. Chapeau! Je n'avais plus faim après m'être retenue de licher mon assiette, mais j'ai pris une crème brûlée pour dessert quand même. Hhhmmmm . Délicieuse! Le service était excellent! Quelle belle expérience!

J'ai été déçue par le pêcheur (brunch). Le plat & le café sont arrivés tièdes & l'assiette manquait vraiment de goût. Je ne sais pas si c'est le saumon fumé qui n'était pas assez goûteux ou qu'il manquait d'assaisonnement en général... Les carottes qui recouvraient le tout masquaient aussi le goût du saumon.

Absolutely delightful brunch, highly recommend the various options they have, as I managed to try almost all of them. I would definitely rate my experience 5 stars, if it wasn't for the service. Very polite staff, but it took more than 30 minutes to get a coffee &/or mimosas, & we felt like our waiter forgot us most of the time. But other than that, excellent!

Repas exceptionnel comme à l'habitude. Un régal pour les yeux, le nez & les papilles. Le cappuccino n'était pas du même standard par contre. Notre serveur aurait pu être un peu plus proactif pour nous proposer un cocktail par exemple... mais avec l'ambiance chaleureuse que nous adorons, ça reste un de nos restaurants préférés autant pour le brunch, le dîner ou le souper.

Y sommes allés pour le brunch . Le plat du chef: le porc laqué à l'érable était divin! Présentation originale, savoureux, belle portion..Ce plat devrait être ajouté au menu régulier du brunch. Excellent service comme toujours..
