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.

Le café à la fin du repas ... Il était très ordinaire... complètement à l'opposé du restant de l'expérience

Waitress was amazing. Overall did not think the food was very good. Beef cheeks was very tender but too salty to enjoy. Seal appetizer was very tasty but again too salty. Lobster entree was lacking in that there was minimal lobster! Nice ambience & service was quick & very helpful.

What drew me in was picture of the French onion soup, & it didn't disappoint. I would recommend everyone get that as starter or you main if your a lighter eater. Our server made the experience one of the best we had in old Quebec , matter fact all of Quebec. My teenage daughters loved the fries they couldn't figure out how they where so soft on the inside & still crispy on the out lol.
