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.

La cuisson recommandé pour la Bavette de Bisson n étais pas suffisante ... Même chose pour la table d'à coté

Nourriture excellente, très bon service, mais peut-être un peu trop bondé en cette période de déconfinement. Je vais retourner & recommander votre resto, c'est certain!

Très bon service, les mets sont excellents & les recommandations du vin pour l'accompagnement était parfait. Mon copain a pris la joue braisée du moment (bison ce jour-là) & trouvait la portion un peu petite, toutefois le goût était exquis. J'ai pour ma part opté pour l'épaule d'agneau & ma portion était parfaite pour mon appétit (assez gros en général), la sauce + légumes = wow! Je recommande sans hésitation pour ces 2 plats!

Nous avons eu la chance de gouter en primeur au nouveau menu & c'était délicieux! La mousse de sapin avec les pétoncles était bluffante! Les pétoncles fondaient comme du beurre. Les assiettes etaient gourmandes & nous avons été très agréablement surpris par l'accord met/vin qui nous a été suggéré! On le recommande assurément!
