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 avons emmené des amis de Toronto & ils ont beaucoup apprécié. Cependant j'étais déçue qu'il n'y ait pas eu de mousse au chocolat au menu dessert. Mais la crème brûlée epétait excellente, vous demeurez min restaurant préféré,

Excellent food. Very good service. Bit noisy. Quite a large space so when busy perhaps affects the atmosphere. I don't think the background music really helps
But would certainly recommend for the quality of the food.

Ambiance is beautiful, classy & slightly understated. Food was wonderful, tasty & hot. Service was fast, caring & unintrusive. In short, you should not miss this restaurant. 4 stars overall is due to paper napkins not cloth & failure to provide fresh flatware with each course. Minor things, of course, but things I expect of a 5 star experience. Regardless don't miss this restaurant!

Very good food even though a few dishes were not available. However due to a big group in rhe middle of the restaurant the restaurant was very very very loud (we could not hear our friend sitting opposite us at our small table). Not ok.
