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.

Quite possibly the most original, & inspired meal I have ever had. Tout était parfait!
Do not shy away from the seal meatloaf; it is phenomenal. If you're a beef or lamb lover, seal is not far off, flavour wise. I had the scallops as my main, served cassoulet-style with a barley risotto & tomato cream sauce.
Dessert was the pot de crème chocolat. Wonderful flavour & the hint of balsam fir was genius. A meal I'll remember for many years to come.

Bonne idée d'encourager les viticulteurs québécois mais, de grâce, goûter le vin avant de vous engager.! Celui qu'on nous a offert était IMBUVABLE.

Trop de monde dans le restaurant, pas assez d'espace entre les tables ce qui fait que c'est extrêmement bruyant. Le menu? étrange.....
