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.

Wonderful! Best onion soup I've ever tasted. The whole meal was fantastic from the soup & cheese plate to the lamb, beef, & chicken. I don't know what they put in the crispy polenta but it was amazing. The service is above & beyond. Such a lovely meal!

Most excellent service. Great contemporary ambiance. The food was unique & delicious. There were berries & greens I had never heard of before that had great flavor. I felt sad when each plate was finished. Highly recommend.

Nourriture ordinaire, mauvais service, sans explications sur le menu & recommandations donc beaucoup trop chère pour l'expérience que l'on a eu surtout pour un repas d'anniversaire.

Good value for money.
Entrees & fish were very good, but the presentation for the beef with asparagus was not great.
Cream brulee very tasty but clearly just taken out of the fridge.
Excellent service
