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 had a wonderful experience for lunch. The servers were enthusiastic & fun. My daughter & I shared a salad & the sirloin & then got two desserts. The steak & accompaniments were out of this world with flavor! The salad & desserts were delicious as well. Our best meal that we had in Quebec on a 5 day trip.

Friendly, welcoming staff. Excellent personalized service. Food was delicious. Took a bit of time to get delivered to us, but that was expected. I have been to this restaurant probably six times, & I would say the menu is quite limited, & could use some new items, or at least some specials nightly. I also find the atmosphere, although beautifully decorated, it's very cafeteria style to me with all the tables just in rose, maybe some dividers, something to break it up & have it become a little more intimate & cozy. Having said that still a wonderful place to have a delicious dinner.

Bonjour!
L'entrée choisie, le pâté en croûte, était trop froide & trop salée. La croûte & le pâté auraient été plus savoureux tièdes. La joue de boeuf était excellente, j'aurais par contre apprécié un légume vert pour accompagner le plat, en gardant aussi la purée. Je serveur semblait pressé, comparativement à celui qui m'avait servi à ma première visite. Le vin conseillé était très bon.
Merci & bonne journée!
