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.

We were excited when we made our reservation & it didn't disappoint. Service was excellent & our server helped us decide between different options. Food was amazing! We could eat the cappuccino style onion soup & the chocolate mousse every day. Our only disappointment is that we live on the west coast & can't dine here whenever we want.

Exceptional service & attention to detail. Excellent presentation & taste. Ambiance is hip & friendly. Onion soup is light & superb as well as the Carpaccio ombré. Beef cheeks plate & scallops both had excellent presentations & taste. dessert was a light fruity Alanna Cotta & quite tasty. Excellent choice for a upbeat dinner.

Souper en famille, très réussi. Un accueil personnalisé, un service courtois, agréable & rapide. À refaire. Petit bémol, mais très léger, le bruit.

C'est la 3iem fois pour moi & mon conjoint & honnêtement on va revenir à chaque année. On y va depuis 3 ans pour fêter notre anniversaire de couple & on capote toujours autant ! La soupe à lonion est un incontournable, elle est juste incroyable !! On a pris la poitrine de volaille & on a adoré aussi! Quoi dire des dessert la mousse au chocolat au sapin de baumier & la pannacotta très bon aussi ! On recommande à 1000% le boulay !
