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.

Accueil froid & impersonnel. On avait l'impression déranger le placier. Service excellent & attentionné. Le repas était bon, mais pas assez chaud, même si l'assiette était brûlante.

De loin un des meilleur restaurant au Québec. Ça fait 4 fois que j'y vais & il se surpasse à chaque fois. Le Boudin...oui...le boudin est fantastique.

Super bon, petit bémol: vin rouge cuvée Boréale n'a pas adéquat pour ce genre de bistro.

Unique Menu. Serves exotic dishes that you won't find anywhere else. If you're not willing to try something different, this probably isn't the restaurant for you; but if you're the adventurous type, you will not be disappointed. The meal was truly gourmet, & beyond delicious.
Downside, restaurant is very popular, & quite noisy. You probably won't get in without a reservation.
