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.

A personal favourite from past visits, unfortunately this one was tainted by an extremely rude maître d' . I was hosting a group & was very embarrassed. Greatly diminished the taste of the food for everyone was my observation. I will not return or recommend

Excellent service & efficace. Qualité du duo de boudin inégale mais tout de même bon. Entrée de homard excellente, haute de côte braisé excellente, cuisson à point & un bon goût sucrée dans la sauce. Toutefois, les têtes de violon étaient un peu trop cuits, pas assez croquants. Nous avons vécu une bonne expérience, recommandons le restaurant & nous y retournerons assurément.

Excellent repas, j'ai particulièrement apprécié la compétence & les suggestions de notre serveur. Souriant, disponible & capable de s'adapter & comprendre nos besoins. En plus, la bouffe était super, d'excellents produits & une cuisine originale. J'ai été surprise, les prix sont corrects comparés aux restos de même categorie. Je recommande sans hésitation.
