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.

Je recommande ce restaurant pour une expérience culinaire, humaine hors du commun.Un service impeccable avec un personnel attentionné & soucieux de notre confort tout au long de la soirée.

Le repas était succulent. Les assaisonnements & la fraicheur dans l'assiette étaient remarquable. La grosseur des porions parfaite & le choix des mets variés pour plaire à tous. Je vous recommande ce restaurant. C'est un incontournable.

The service was professional but friendly. We appreciated the recommendations from our server for selections of food & drinks. There is a great selection of local food (north as the name Bistro Nordique implies) & wine. We had monteregie pear cider comme apéritif, pinot noir from germany, & liqueur d'amelanchier. Our appetizers were amazing (halibut ceviche, ancestral tomatoes) Beef jowl & scallop our main were great follow up to our appetizers. Dessert was the cherry on the top of our meal. It was the Forest, a chocolate ganache with forest ingredients. Great dining experience. Highly recommend.
