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.

Un peu décevant: personnel poli mais américanisé & trop familier; musique forte & aggressive; plat de pétoncles déséquilibré (absence de mousseline de brochet). Tables trop rapprochées & personnel sans masques...

We had wonderful & memorable evening. The food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the appetizer special of fish cake with shrimp on top. My husband ordered the scallops over risotto & I had the beef cheeks. The food was perfectly prepared & beautifully presented. Our waiter, Florent, suggested our wines with each course. The "icing on top" was our waiters humor. My husband likes to interact with people & Florent did not skip a beat. His funny comments left us with a throughly enjoyable culinary experience! Merci!!

Avec notre seconde visite, nous avons eu la confirmation que ce resto est notre must lors de nos escapades a Quebec. Expérience gastronomique a juste prix avec un service impec. Quoi demander de mieux? Merci Arnaud.
