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 had big expectations from the restaurant, but were very let down. We were on holiday with our little child & so for dinner decided to go straight into entrees. We didn't feel any warmth in the service at all. I had ordered the vegetarian pasta , which I found to be very salty. I pointed this out to the server & was told it was because of the type of cheese used. I left my pasta uneaten & was expecting that the service would offer to change the dish for me or at least not charge for it; neither happened. This restaurant was the low point of the city.

Soirée mémorable
J'ai mangé une de mes meilleures entrées de ma vie, le saisi de thon rouge, service exceptionnel à l'arrivée par le maître d'hôtel & Valentina notre serveuse très charismatique, joyeuse & professionnelle. Un incontournable quand on visite la vielle capitale, merci pour ce moment 😌

Loved everything but was surprised by the very small menu - 3 entrees to choose from. I wish there had been a few more choices.
