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 restaurant, the food was presented wonderfully. My wife is Celiac & the waiter took great care to explain the gluten free options on the menu. The chefs did a great job on our dishes with all ingredients from local areas & farms.
One of our best eating experiences in Old Quebec.

I love this restaurant & go whenever I visit Quebec City. Wonderful food & service, & another bonus is how well sound insulated it is. Even when the restaurant is crowded, you have no trouble hearing your dinner companion.

Nous avions beaucoup d'attentes car nous avions eu de belles expériences .
Premièrement nous notons que la carte est un peu courte en choix principal ,& qu'il y a un supplément dans 2 des 3 propositions pour le prix de base de 30$ un peu excessif,.
Notre plat de sébaste généreux & fort bien présenté a été servi froid .Nous avons dû le faire réchauffer & l'attendre au moins 10 minutes.C'est étonnant pour un restaurant de votre qualité & ce n'est pas l'affluence qui justifiait cela.Le pudding au chômeur bénéficierait d'être servi chaud afin d'en apprécier toutes les saveurs .Par ailleurs le service ètait excellent
En somme un expérience mitigée .
