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.

Our waitress was incredibly knowledgable & outlined every special that was offered for the Christmas season. I highly recommend the Christmas special appetizer that she told us about, it was full of new flavours! The ambience was cozy with warm lighting. We took the beef cheek & bison steak & both were great. But, the best was dessert: CREME BRULEE!!!! I would come back again & recommend it to my friends.

A mixed bag....
Fish special was fantastic. Foie Gras was absurdly overpriced. Service was irregular. House wine from Quebec was an "acquired taste" that our server should have warned us about. We returned ours...the nose & palate was truly peculiar. We then ordered two glasses of wonderful French wines that our server recommended.

Le choix des vins entre 50$ & 65$ est restreint comparé à avant. Les choix sont plus variés à partir de 80$ mais sincèrement ceci est un peu dispendieux. La nourriture toujours aussi succulente. Super bon rapport qualité prix. Je le recommande.
