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.

This was on of the best meals we've had during our trip to Quebec! The food was freshly made with local ingredients, & the savors were very unique as a result! The presentation was also refined & respected the complex yet harmonious taste of the terroir of Quebec! Would highly recommend without hesitation. Make sure to leave some room for the amazing assortment of desserts!

Nourriture excellente mais un vers vivant gesticulant dans le plat nous a littéralement écoeurés ! Traitement commercial de l incident indigne.
