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.

The food & service were superb. Excellent menu & everything was fresh & delicious. Only suggestion would be to turn down the background music, a little too loud.

Absolutely the best restaurant among several very fine ones where we dined on our visit to Quebec. Ideal in many different ways. Casual atmosphere with , pleasant service, but food deserving of Michelin star recognition, incorporating excellent regional ingredients. Wine list included some excellent Canadian stuff less familiar to outside visitors.
