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.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I only went because it was attached to my hotel & I have low expectations for hotel affiliated restaurants, but they blew me away! I had the duo blood pudding & cabbage pudding, & the flavor complexity was outstanding. The server was also super lovely. I didn't have the dessert, but the couple next to me ended up ordering two rounds of the crème brûlée because they loved it so much! The one tiny note is that the music playing didn't quite match the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Vampire Weekend, but it's not the music I would have paired with my meal. Overall lovely experience.
