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.

Best dinner we had on our Quebec City trip! We were amazed by the atmosphere, the food & the service. I had the beef cheek & my partner had the halibut fish of the day - both were incredible. I can't recommend this restaurant enough - I will definitely be recommending all my family & friends visit this restaurant if they're in QC.

Des plats goûteux, recherchés, délicieux. Des portions généreuses qui nous ont empêchés de nous rendre jusqu'au dessert...
Toutefois, les tables étaient trop rapprochées dans la section où nous étions (les tables hautes pour deux personnes face au bar). Mon conjoint s'est souvent cogné le coude dans le plexiglas & nous manquions d'intimité quand un.e employé.e allait discuter à une table à côté.
