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.

Amazing space, fantastic & original food & impeccable service! Tried black blood pudding & seal meatloaf here for my first time... this dish was very delicious. My hubby had the shrimp & barley arancini as his appetizer. It was served with leek pesto, chard pesto in a vegetable broth. He said that this dish is better than how the Italians make arancini. He had the beef cheek for his main which is their signature dish... the cheeks are braised for 30 hours. We would definitely visit this establishment again. Highly recommend!

Cuisine originale, recherche dans les assiettes, plaisir de goûter des choses nouvelles. Moins de sel serait parfois apprécié car il domine des goûts qui ont des identités fortes...

We had a delicious dinner! The Seal & Foie Gras Mousse appetizer was exquisite. I had the Arctic char which was cooked just right, tender inside & nicely seared on the outside. My friend had the Beef Cheek which was also delicious. I highly recommend the restuarant if you would like a delicious meal which is not your usual fare!

Repas très bon. Le service pourrait être meilleur, ex: manque d'attention aux clients.
