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.

Repas exceptionnel comme à l'habitude. Un régal pour les yeux, le nez & les papilles. Le cappuccino n'était pas du même standard par contre. Notre serveur aurait pu être un peu plus proactif pour nous proposer un cocktail par exemple... mais avec l'ambiance chaleureuse que nous adorons, ça reste un de nos restaurants préférés autant pour le brunch, le dîner ou le souper.

J'ai choisi la joue de boeuf. Plutôt gars comme plat, il manquait un peu de légèreté & d'acidité dans l'ensemble.

Mon mari a malheureusement trouvé un cheveu dans son assiette.

Le service était toutefois excellent, & notre expérience s'est trouvé très agréable tout de même !
