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.

My friend recommended that this was a must for my visit to Quebec. It was wonderful - the food, the waitstaff - everything. Highly recommend if you are going to splurge on one meal while in Quebec City, this is the place to go.

Un bruit infernal mesuré à 85 décibels nous avons été déçus de devoir manger dans un bruit , hurlements, d'un groupe adjacent à notre table, c'est honteux de ne pas avertir ses clients du bruit généré par les tables de Repas de congrès, de ce fait nous n'avons pas pris nôtre dessert pour se mettre au calme au plus vite .
Mauvaise expérience & mauvais souvenir.

Such a perfect restaurant for visitors in Quebec!
Everything including the food, service & vibe here was perfect! Our server kindly recommended all the menus & we could have gravlax for our starter which tasted really nice. If possible, you should try it.
As a long time fan of French onion soup, the signature onion soup was splendid too!
Our main menu, the Arctic char was a masterpiece of today's dinner :)
Actually we didn't have the idea of taking dessert here, but as we continued our meal, I thought dessert would also be nice & it surely was!
Thank you for all the happy memory in Quebec! Merci :)

We enjoyed the absolute best french onion soup we've ever eaten. The lamb & scallop main courses were outstanding. & every staff person we encountered was welcoming & attentive, but not overwhelming. Lovely evening!
