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.

Très belle soirée ! Les serveurs extra! Bien du plaisir avec eux, belle ambiance! Mon entrée du jardin : délicieuse & goûteuse! Plat de pintade, un peu décevant mais tout de même très bon !

We got there 20 min before our reservation. The maître, even do our table was available send us away... bad sign.
We decided to go have a drink nearby & came 25 min after.
Our waiter was very attentive, spend a lot of time chatting with us, giving us the specials, super super charming. My wife relaxed & we had a great time.

Food is very good without throwing fireworks, well priced & food on time. I gave the place a 8.9 out of 10.
Will definitely come back after the pandemic ends & they extend the menu.

Oh yes, the waiter was not a REGULAR, he was filling no up for somebody else. Left him a good 22% tip well deserved.
