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 étions ravie de la nourriture au début (très bien présenté & bon en général; sauf le poisson était trop salé)
Le dessert était super aussi.
Au retour toutes le deux on a eu une diarrhée aiguë malheureusement ça a gâcher notre expérience; quelques chose était pas propre ou pas fraîche malheureusement.

We were disappointed in the food. The onion soup was more of a stew of onions & cream. It was heavy & not a soup. My chard again was smothered in sauce & surrounded by frozen peas. Again heavy & just not appealing. Unfortunately I could not recommend to food. Frankly, I am surprised that it is so popular.

C'est notre resto préféré à Québec . C'est la première fois que je suis déçu de mon assiette principale , omble chevalier. La présentation était vraiment moyenne avec énormément de petits pois partout dans l'assiste, pas d'autres choses que des pois & des croûtons avec le poisson. C'est la première fois que je suis déçu à votre resto. Le serveur étiez incroyablement excellent .
