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.

Super bon repas en amoureux. Excellent retour à la vie normale. Les plats que nous avons pris étaient délicieux, dignes d'un grand chef. Mon épouse a pris la soupe à l'oignon & moi le cevice de pétoncles. Sublimes, les deux entrées. En plat principal (partagé) nous avons opté pour l'agneau du Québec. Encore là, ce plat était d'une finesse digne du terroir du Québec. Bravo monsieur Boulay & à son personnel. Une belle organisation.

Ambiance aucunement intime en soirée..
Étions cordés comme a la cafétéria..
Nous nous sommes sentis presser de manger & partir. Le serveur passait aux 2-3 minutes pour savoir ce qu'on voulait boire comme apéritif + quoi manger pour le souper.. Le repas complet a duré seulement 1h..

Sentiment de relaxer au resto, un gros zéro. Nous ne recommandons pas

Quel festin renouvelé!
Le cocktail ChowPow débute le repas; à goûter absolument si vous aimez l'argousier.
La pannacota au raifort est moelleuse & subtile, un réel délice. La tartine aux champignons, un régal avec les abats de canard parfaitement attendris & riche en goût.
La morue est floconneuse avec bleuets, maïs & courgettes, excellente!
Les pétoncles avec fruits de mer & un espuma aux fruits de mer, extraordinaire!
Comme desserts, Pavlova & tarte argousier complètent délicieusement le repas.
Un verre de rosé agrémente le tout.
FÉLICITATIONS AUX CHEFS ,
Nous avons eu un service attentif & attentionné par Marine, bravo!
