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.

Dans l'ensemble, bonne expérience, cependant on pourrait s'attendre à un peu plus de raffinement. Le décor est sobre & de bon goût, mais la musique de fond ne cadrait pas avec l'ambiance recherchée (on nous a fait jouer de la musique rock toute la soirée). Le service est correct & les plats proposés sont biens & gouteux quoique très riche. Pour le prix, on s'attendait à plus de raffinement, mais on sent qu'on a choisi de niveler vers le bas pour rendre ça plus accessible pour la clientèle visée, les touristes.

Personnel accueillant. Facilité d'accommoder un groupe de 6 passé à 9 une heure avant l'ouverture pour un resto complet en réservation. Nourriture excellente avec un accent boréal. Nous avons passé un bon moment!

C'est la 3iem fois pour moi & mon conjoint & honnêtement on va revenir à chaque année. On y va depuis 3 ans pour fêter notre anniversaire de couple & on capote toujours autant ! La soupe à lonion est un incontournable, elle est juste incroyable !! On a pris la poitrine de volaille & on a adoré aussi! Quoi dire des dessert la mousse au chocolat au sapin de baumier & la pannacotta très bon aussi ! On recommande à 1000% le boulay !

The menu was a little outside our comfort zone, but our curiosity was rewarded with an exceptional meal featuring organic & locally sourced foods. Our server was very knowledgeable & made great recommendations for our meals & wine. Would definitely visit again.
