About us

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.

Excellent meal. The onion soup may have been the best I've ever had. Beef cheeks were also excellent. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the meal.

Nous avons été très satisfaits du service. Le personnel était attentif, sympathique & précis. Nous avons apprécié de nous laisser guider par le serveur & n'avons pas été déçus.
La soupe à l'oignon était vraiment étonnante ! La joue de boeuf était tellement tendre & savoureuse, avec des parfums hors du commun. & la chaudrée de pétoncles était également très généreuse. Belle expérience, à répéter !

Expérience du brunch du samedi midi, avec des plats régionaux, bien dimensionnés & sublimés par le mix avec le côté frenchy du chef. Le service (commande de plats, demande d'addition) peut être un peu long même quand la salle est loin d'être pleine mais pour le reste agreabilité de tout le personnel & surtout mets excellents, en plus d'une large carte des boissons, vins au verre inclus

I had my first traditional Québec meal here, & it turned out to be one of the highlights of my day in Québec City.

The food was memorable & gave me a great introduction to local cuisine. Everything felt welcoming, & the service was excellent. The middle-aged gentleman who served me was especially kind, attentive, & patient throughout the meal.

As a visitor, first impressions matter, & this restaurant made my first Québec dining experience a very happy one. Thank you for the warm hospitality.
I would gladly recommend this place to anyone visiting Québec City.
