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.

Nous sommes venu souper hier après avoir arrêter depuis 2 ans après une déception . WoW nous avons eu une service incroyable surtout de notre serveur Vincent Poirier. Nous avons été tellement satisfait que nous sommes revenu bruncher auj & avons dû être au bar , donc étant des anciens restaurateurs & avons observer le travail de Dominique qui est incroyable . Observation à part justement Vincent les garçons n aide pas beaucoup mais les autres filles oui

Plats recherchés, créatifs, locaux, qui nous transportent ailleurs malgré tout! Je serais reparti avec une chaudière de la sublime sauce qui accompagnait la pièce de bison & une autre de purée de topinambours à l'ail noir.


Service impeccable!

La seule petite chose à renoter serait la sélection musicale. De l'instrumental folk, jazz voir lounge ferait très bien l'affaire!

99 luftballons entre deux gorgées de Pétales d'Osoyoos, on dirait que ça s'agençait moyen.

Mais somme toute, meilleur souper depuis longtemps!

Our first meal in old Quebec did not disappoint. Excellent service, food & wine. Would highly recommend the cappuccino onion soup & creme brulee! Very pleased with the vegetarian options. We will return.
