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.

Excellente nourriture du début à la fin! Une belle ambiance bistro, animée mais pas trop bruyante pour avoir une conversation tranquille. Excellent service de notre serveuse, elle était chaleureuse, nous donnait beaucoup d'informations, contribuant à la grande qualité de notre expérience.

Very good experience overall. The silky panna cotta appetizer with a hint of horseradish & crunchy cucumber was surprising & refreshing. I might come back just to experience it again!

Cod was sublime, it was cooked perfectly, it was delicate & flaky. The garnish accompanying the cod could been more interesting. The sweet corn was dry & pickled red onion salsa although was nicely acidic but didn't provide enough acidity for the fish in it entirety.

The chocolate dessert was stale & unimaginative.

My companion had the confit lamb shoulder & he was extremely happy.

We will be back for sure to experience this truly boreal cuisine again!

Pression très peu subtile du serveur pour qu'on fasse très vite.. Entrées reçues deux minutes après le cocktail. Plat principal servi sans que nous ayons eu accès à la carte des vins.. Record absolu pour un souper romantique. Environ 45 minutes.
