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.

Soirée presque parfaite. Le repas était exquis. Seul le vin (rouge québécois) nous a beaucoup déçu.

Service des plus agréable ! On nous a bien conseillé pour le vin. Que de la gourmandise!
& que dire des sauces qui goûtent le ciel!
Certains ont été déçu du pavlova déstructuré, pour ma part j'ai beaucoup aimé. Le rapport/qualité prix est excellent. Je recommande sans hésitation !

Pression très peu subtile du serveur pour qu'on fasse très vite.. Entrées reçues deux minutes après le cocktail. Plat principal servi sans que nous ayons eu accès à la carte des vins.. Record absolu pour un souper romantique. Environ 45 minutes.
