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.

Went to dinner with a client last night & was surprised at the service & food based on the reviewed I ready. Firstly, the bread was stale. Secondly, our server paid little attention to us even though we saw her serving other customers more closely (for example she was pouring water & wine for everyone else). Lastly, the pate had what appeared to be bone in it.

La meilleure soupe à l'oignon que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Tout était vraiment très très bon

My wife had a lovely meal here. We are not French speakers & the restaurant was more than happy to serve us in English. The food was delicious & the server & staff in general were extremely friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal in Quebec City.

Also, huge bonus, even though the restaurant was mostly full the volume was low so we were able to talk in a normal volume the whole evening!

La cuisine est excellente mais le service est décevant. J'avais quand même des attentes considérant la réputation des lieux.
Le serveur n'était pas sympathique & chaleureux.
On nous a proposé le mimosa comme choix de breuvage sans se faire préciser qu'il y avait plusieurs variantes de mimosas. Quand nous avons demandé de changer, la réponse a été'ils sont déjà prêts'.
J'hésitais sur mon choix de plat & le serveur semblait impatient que je me décide alors que nous étions peut-être 4-5 tables maximum dans le restaurant.
J'ai finalement choisi une entrée avec un croissant & je me suis fait dire'comme vous ne prenez pas le menu brunch, l'entrée sera plus chère, en fait elle sera le double'. Je peux comprendre mais mon chum avait pris le menu brunch lui...en tk...c'est surtout le ton désagréable employé que je n'ai pas aimé.
Bref...c'est délicieux mais le service ne rend pas hommage à la qualité de la cuisine, je n'y retournerai pas

I liked the beet salad but not fan of the chicken with gnochi. The restaurant was accomodating with no reservation (well 2 people).

Un restaurant à conseiller pour découvrir les saveurs boréales. Belle ambiance. Service agréable.

Nous avions de grandes attentes ce soir, mais malheureusement le raffinement ne fut pas au rendez-vous. D'abord, le serveur n'avait pas d'écoute. Puis, on nous a servi l'apéro en même temps que les entrées. Même après l'avoir mentionné, la situation n'a pas changé. Alors que notre repas était entamé, on nous a finalement demandé si on souhaitait boire quelque chose. Les plats étaient corrects sans plus. Bref, grande déception!

3è fois, un peu déçu, la macreuse était très bonne mais assortiment ne lui convenait pas!
