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.

Everywhere that does french onion soup needs to be doing it the way they do it at this restaurant. It is so much better to have a small crostini with cheese on it to dip into your soup instead of having a massive wad of cheese sitting on top of your soup. That's really chewy & ultimately detracts from the experience of having french onion soup. They also do something special to the French onions or to the sauce or soup that it's in because it is extremely tasty in a way that I have never had before. The rest of this restaurant is also really great, but the soup was the standout feature in addition to the beef cheek & the bison steak

Not bad atmosphere, the onion soup was a little too salty & the food was honestly not anything special. Waited a long time for food & bill & service was kind of slow.

Great French restaurant in middle of QC Old Town. Their foods were delicious, perfectly seasoned. The Onion soup was amazing, the bison tartare & bison steak was a delight. I had to take one star off though because both Pan Fried Foie Gra & Halibut were slightly overcooked.

From start to finish was perfection!!!!! THE BEST FRENCH ONION SOUP EVER!!!Hats off to the chef!!! The pâté was incredible with the strawberry reduction. Accompanied with the heirloom carpaccio tomatoes was a perfect combination of beautiful food for your mind body & soul!

Good lunch in a comfortable room. Salad or soup that come with the meal are better than the typical. Cavatelli with broccoli & local cheese was light & perfectly executed. Lean, flaky beef cheeks with a complimentary ratatouille was superb. Check out their store. More on Eatingwithziggy[.com]

Après avoir gouté les hits (soupe à l'oignon, tartare, joue de boeuf), un peu déçue de la saveur des autres plats: pétoncles, poisson, boudin. Je ne crois pas que je retournerai.
