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.

Busy spot with attentive service & excellent food. They focus on Nordic cuisine so most dishes have something interesting like sea buckthorn or spruce oil or similar adding an interesting twist to the dishes. Despite how crazy busy they were, they were on the ball throughout & even offered a couple options off the menu to accommodate us.

Traditional French food done with excellent skill. We ordered chicken liver terrine to start that was ok— needed something sweet/citrusy to cut the rich flavour. We ordered the Arctic char & Duck Confit as our mains- phenomenal! Finished with a Yuzu Macaron which blew my mind. We'll definitely be coming back!! :)
