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.

On perdait l'ombre de fontaine sous trop de saveurs.
P-e un peu trop de chou-fleur avec les pétoncles.
La joue était fantastique, le bison & les desserts aussi.
Merci pour la belle soirée.

Tout était magique, le serveur vraiment excellent & sympathique, la nourriture délicieuse à l'exception de la poitrine de volaille qui était tiède au moment du service & le poulet un peu sec & une partie du navet durci.
Ca été vraiment le seul hic de notre soirée.
Ce plat n'a pas été à la hauteur. M. Boulay ne l'aurait pas accepté tel quel.

Nous avons eu une serveuse inexpérimentée, elle ne connaissait pas son menu. Un de ses collègues est venu à notre table quelques fois, nous aurions aimé l'avoir tout au long.

Service was unorganized & unprofessional. We were ignored for inappropriate durations & time, & did not feel welcome within the space. Staff were on their phones & not attentive.

After receiving dessert menus, we eventually gave up on getting our server's attention, & asked for the check. I normally do not leave reviews for restaurants, but our experience was frustrating. I would not return.

Was looking forward to this one... after a beautiful weekend in Quebec City, I was excited to see this as the only full restaurant on Wednesday. Unfortunately, our dinner tonight was a disappointment, & the service was borderline offensive. While the price is fair, the food doesn't live up to the expectations. (It was fine) Our biggest issue was with the service. The waiter was impolite, distant, & almost ignoring us for stretches of 15-20 minutes. It felt like a challenge to get his attention was he was chitchatting with staff (& not about work). Waiters were messing around, texting on phones behind the bar, & just not focused on service. We were asked twice about drinks, & greeted by 3 different staff members before our original waiter returned to take our food order. The service just appeared to have no organization. After our entree, we collected a dessert menu, & eventually gave up on placing an order, & simply asked for the check. For our final night in the city, this was a letdown. Though the food was fine, I would not recommend a night out here. I typically don't leave reviews, but I was quite frustrated after this experience.
