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.

Excellent restaurant. Good vibe but it did get a little noisy when a group of young men sat down next to us but management moved us to a quieter table. Onion soup was extraordinary. Bison tartare excellent & the main courses were outstanding. Put this restaurant on your most go to list when in Quebec City.

Creative menu, excellent service, great atmosphere. The waiter did a great job of recommending appetizers (arctic char carpaccio, cucumbers & shrimp), entrees (archive char & braised beef) & wine. The ambiance is fun - lively but not loud.
