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.

This was the perfect first night dinner in Quebec city. We were staying down the street & after a long dive the quick walk was great. I can't say enough great things about the team & the food. I have celiacs disease & there were more choices, that did not need any modifications, than I generally have at most restaurants. The Halibut I had was one of the best preparations if fish I have had in a long time. Their wine list was interesting &, while not huge, had excellent variety & choices as well as being very fairly priced. I would definitely recommend & return!

Une expérience culinaire absolument remarquable ! Nous y étions pour un souper d'affaires & toutes les convives ont été conquises. Chaque plat était savoureux, raffiné & parfaitement exécuté, offrant une véritable expérience gustative du début à la fin. La serveuse a su nous guider avec professionnalisme grâce à ses excellents conseils, contribuant grandement à la qualité de notre soirée.

Le cadre, à la fois épuré, élégant & chaleureux, crée une ambiance idéale pour apprécier pleinement le moment. Un grand merci également à M. Auclair, dont la gestion de la réservation a été exemplaire : rapide, efficace !

Une adresse qui se démarque par la qualité de son accueil, de son service & de sa cuisine. Une magnifique découverte que je recommande chaleureusement à tous les amateurs de belles expériences gastronomiques !

Absolutely wonderful experience. Duck fous gras & Québec cheese plate were wonderful starters. Flat iron steak & braised beef cheeks were out of this world: tender, perfectly prepared. The PRICKLY ASH MOUSSE WITH ÎLE D'ORLÉANS BLACKCURRANT HEART
&
OUR HIVES' HONEY ICED PARFAIT, CEREAL MILK CRÈME ANGLAISE we're an excellent way to end the meal. Our server was great & explained everything to us. Highly recommend.

I had my first traditional Québec meal here, & it turned out to be one of the highlights of my day in Québec City.

The food was memorable & gave me a great introduction to local cuisine. Everything felt welcoming, & the service was excellent. The middle-aged gentleman who served me was especially kind, attentive, & patient throughout the meal.

As a visitor, first impressions matter, & this restaurant made my first Québec dining experience a very happy one. Thank you for the warm hospitality.
I would gladly recommend this place to anyone visiting Québec City.

Awesome restaurant. Very friendly staff with excellent food quality. Personal favorite would be the beef cheek. The onion soup is special with the foam on top. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
