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.

Super service, personnel courtois, excellente connaissance du menu & judicieux conseil pour l'accord mets-vin. Désir & ambiance superbe.
Potage excellent, entrée de tartare de bison bien apprêté mais déception au niveau de l'exécution de plats principaux, dommage.

I made the reservation for 6 people on March 19th for July 16th & arrived to be seated in a very tight booth designed for only 4 people at the back of the restaurant beside the kitchen. We were uncomfortable, but the food was excellent & great value. The terrine of fois gras & onion soup were fantastic, & the chicken, cod, & shoulder of beef were delicious & you must order the potato purée! For dessert you must try the pot de chocolat & the crème prise. Highly recommended, but only bring your top two friends!
