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.

Fantastic service & meal. I had the beef cheek, & my husband had the scallops as main dish. I had the sea buckthorn pie for dessert. The whole thing was fantastic. We had a reservation & we're seated immediately when we arrived. Our server was amazing & took such good care of us. Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect! They seat you on time (not early because it is so popular & they have their reservations down to a science). Service is impeccable, they are knowledgeable, cordial & attentive. The food is just amazing. We had entrees, mains, cheese plate & dessert & every dish was so delicious. I started with scallop ceviche (just devine), halibut over sweet corn with pomegranate garnish & zucchini was cooked to perfection & the tastes blended perfectly. My started the tartine & lamb shoulder, both were delicious. Cheese platter to finish our wine with just the right touch of honey was a treat. The final touch we shared & it delivered exactly what we wanted. Tarte Argousier had citrus notes so not too sweet. A delight for lovers of sweet & sour. Pure enjoyment from beginning to end!
