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 repas. Très bonne joue de boeuf & une mousse chocolat extraordinaire. Un bémol cependant qui m a fait mettre que 4 étoiles c est un niveau de bruit très désagréable pour un repas agréable. Salle bruyante par elle même & en plus une musique bien trop forte qui poussait les clients à parler encore plus fort. Pour un restaurant gastronomique c est inadapté, je trouve. Dommage.

We were excited when we made our reservation & it didn't disappoint. Service was excellent & our server helped us decide between different options. Food was amazing! We could eat the cappuccino style onion soup & the chocolate mousse every day. Our only disappointment is that we live on the west coast & can't dine here whenever we want.

Excellent service & really delicious food. Nice atmosphere. I would recommend dining here for sure.
4 star rating instead of 5 only because the waiter told us that one ingredient was missing from the scallop dish (the pike), so an extra scallop would be added. That sounded Ok, except there were only 3 scallops on my plate, which I thought was not enough for $38. My friends had a fish plate which was excellent in taste & size.

Nous avons vraiment apprécié ce restaurant de qualité supérieure.
La nourriture, le service, les employés hors pair & l'ambiance du bistro, un grand wow!!
Nous y retournerons certainement, & j'espère prochainement.
Nous y étions allés pour notre 12e anniversaire de mariage & ils ont pris la peine de le souligner.
Merci!!
