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.

Un repas sublime dont chaque élément était recherché & bien disposé dans l'assiette. On mangeait autant avec les yeux qu'avec nos bouches. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le bar rayé & la salsa de maïs avec les crevettes pannées. Les textures, le mariage des saveurs & la cuisson du poisson ont rendu ce plat harmonieusement savoureux.

Je m'attendais a plus...Après avoir observé les critiques de Jean-Luc Boulay à l'émission « Les Chefs » , j'espérais vivre une experience culinaire..
Les plats étaient corrects mais pas de grandes découvertes. Le service est rapide ( j'ai eu l'impression qu'on nous poussait un peu).
