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.

We are return guests to this wonderful restaurant, & the quality of food is always high, & the menu highly original.
There were two small faults on Saturday evening. We ordered two martinis, & when brought to the table one was noticeably smaller. Our server agreed, & took the drink to the bar to add more. He did add more, but it was still smaller. We decided not to pursue it further.
Secondly, our server brought a small plate with two pieces of fudge to the table next to ours after they had finished their meal. It looked like a complimentary small finish to their meal. We were not offered the same, & when we inquired, our server said that he'd brought the fudge because they were friends of his.
Thank you.
