About us

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 passé une excellente soirée notamment grâce à notre serveur Jean-François.

Les suggestions étaient particulièrement à point: la soupe à l'oignon fut littéralement la meilleure que nous ayons mangé de notre vie.

À notre avis de foodie, le rapport qualité/prix est excellent.

Remerciment tout particulier à l'établissement, car lors de la réservation, nous avons demandé (& obtenu) une très belle table. Ce genre d'attention mérite d'être soulignée: MERCI à toute l'équipe.

Nous avons eu la chance d'y aller pour un brunch & l'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. L'accueil était extrêmement chaleureux & toute l'équipe a été attentionnée tout au long du repas, ce qui a rendu le moment encore plus agréable.

Le brunch inclut deux allongés ou un bol de café au lait, j'ai choisi le bol de café au lait, parfaitement réconfortant & très bien préparé. Ensuite, les rôties & les confitures maison servies sur demande étaient délicieuses & apportaient une belle touche artisanale.

Comme plat principal, j'ai choisi Le Bûcheron : macreuse de boeuf saisie, oeuf au plat, poutine & sauce hollandaise au sapin. Une assiette généreuse, originale & parfaitement équilibrée. Les saveurs étaient riches & réconfortantes, avec une touche boréale qui rend le plat vraiment unique.

On comprend rapidement pourquoi ce restaurant figure parmi les établissements distingués par le Guide Michelin 2025. Une adresse incontournable pour un brunch raffiné, authentique & mémorable.

We went to this restaurant on recommendation of our friend that lives in Quebec City. The food was delicious & served quickly. The service was non - existent aside from the food coming to our table. Our server actually left midway through our time there & we did not appear to have anyone replace her. We could not get anyone's attention for more drinks or even the bill. We felt like we were possibly being ignored because we are english speaking as we saw other french speaking tables getting much better service. Would not go back or recommend to english speaking friends.

I had the venison pate en croute & duck breast: both were very good. My wife loved the onion soup & beef cheek. Atmosphere was great, & we were seated right away with a reservation.
