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.

Trop bruyant, pas assez de choix, le poulet sans goût & le loup marin devrait être servi en entrée & non en plat principal. La recommandation de la serveuse n'a pas indiqué que cette viande avait un goût très fort. On aurait pas pris ce plat. Décevant pour 2 personnes sur 4. Les joues de boeuf (excellent) & le risotto (bon mais sans plus.

C'était ma. 5ème visite chez Boulay, je leur accorde que 21 hres est peut-être trot tard pour aller manger à Quebec, les entrées étaient assez bonnes, la joue de boeuf délicieuse, quand au reste très très moyen
Un service de fin de soirée inexistant, un café sans cuillère ni sucré ou crème nous a fait comprendre qu'il était temps de quitter, donc le dessert on oublie
Le vin qui était bon nous a été conseillé par l'excellente sommelière du resto, merci à elle car Élya certainement sauvé notre repas, je n'y retournerai pas car je préfère rester sur les premières impressions de cet endroit que je me réjouissais de retrouver à chacune de mes visites de Suisse, & ne pourrai honnêtement le recommander à mes connaissance qui seront de passage à Quebec 😞
