About us

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.

This was our third visit. Great food & wonderful service. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic place to have dinner. Very nice ambiance. An app & a dinner plate will leave you full but give you enough room for dessert, all without breaking the bank. They source many local fresh ingredients for their dishes & you can tell. Highly recommend the onion soup as others have suggested. I had the scallop ceviche & the flat iron, both were awesome. Definitely worth going to, would have posted pictures but was too excited to eat everything they put in front of us!

Réservation faite dernière minute avec une demande spéciale! Défis relevés avec élégance par le Chef & toute son équipe. Table proche de la cuisine qui nous a permis de voir une chorégraphie exécutée de main de maître & comme demandé un festival d'attention à notre égard. Nous avons été impressionnés par cette générosité qui c'est également transmise dans nos assiettes, WoW! En toute simplicité, merci de nous avoir offert ce moment de bonheur qui va nous habiter pendant longtemps!

Echt geweldig goed gegeten! Alles tot in de perfectie. Een stukje vis dat precies gaar was, wat je zelden ziet. Vriendelijke bediening en fijne sfeer.

Le serveur a servi mes voisins de table qui étaient d'origine Portugaise ne parlant pas français & peu anglais. D'un commun accord. ils ont communiqué en espagnol.

Bravo au personnel.

Nous avons été déçus par ce restaurant brasserie qui ne mérite franchement pas sa citation au Michelin 2026 compte tenu du niveau assez moyen de ce qui nous a été servi. Pâté de cerf plutôt savoureux mais sans mâchis, cuisson « saignante » de la bavette de bison mal maîtrisée, pommes frites trop grosses, trop grasses, trop molles & trop cuites ! Desserts sans intérêt. Service efficace mais apparemment débordé. Déco assez moche, ambiance sonore trop bruyante.

The food was unusual only in its description. It was luscious, appetizing, & delicious. The restaurant was completely full & a buzz of activity but surprisingly quiet. Service was superb. Wine selection had many old world wines & also a good selection of Canadian wine. The prices were inline with what one expects for meals of this level.
Thanks. It was our first time but not our last.

Notre souper était plus que parfait. Les attentions de notre serveur à influencer positivement notre expérience. De l'explication du menu, des recommandations & de la petite attention au dessert… ce fut magique.
La nourriture était délicieuse & bien présentée.
Je recommande fortement !
