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.

Le rapport qualité-prix-expérience est fantastique. Les produits sont frais, les serveurs sont passionnés & la cuisine est raffinée, c'est un restaurant qui mérite le détour ! Je remets de l'avant le rapport qualité-prix incroyable. Un grand merci à Jean-François, le serveur, qui a rendu cette expérience 5 étoiles ! Le duo de boudin avec les accompagnements à la carotte était génial.

Très beau restaurant. Nous allons y retourner pour sur. Cocktail un peu cher, mais ça va avec le cadre.
La soupe à l'oignon & la joue de boeuf : duo imbattable !!! Je recommande vivement.
J'ai pris l'entrée au poisson blanc, Coregone. Frais, joliment présenté & vivifiant.
Plat principal, le bar. Excellent plat avec une sauce incroyable. Les poireaux sont grillés & fondants. Seul bémol, les moules marinières étaient trop cuites. Elles étaient rendues en lambeaux & caoutchteuses.
