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.

Creative, unique menu. Beautiful vibe, great service. Compared to other Michelin rated (& priced) restaurants in the area, it's price point to actual quality is one of the best. Recommend.

My family enjoyed brunch here twice during our visit to Quebec City because we enjoyed it so much, & would love to visit again for dinner! Everything was delicious without being too high brow to actually be enjoyable. - We actually had our small kiddo with us & he loved everything as much as we did. The highlights were the trout brunch dish & the foia gras appetizer. We also really loved the little juices & sweets to accompany the meal, which made it feel special. As a side note, we visited their sister shop to grab pastries one morning & those were amazing too!

Très bon, rien à redire.
Seul bémol : la salle est un peu bruyante pendant le coup de feu.
