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.

Un peu déçu du repas. Pas mauvais dans l'ensemble, mais relativement fade. Il manque l'effet Waow qu'on peut attendre du concept. Entre un tartare qui ne mettait pas en valeur la qualité de la viande ou une joue de boeuf linéaire, le repas ne sera pas mémorable. Au final trop cher pour l'expérience proposée. Le service est correct. La panacotta & la ganache au chocolat n'étaient pas agréable. Par contre geste commercial apprécié suite à nos remarques.

Vraiment très bon ! seul bémol, les portions en repas était un peu grosse. Dans la meringue, il y avait un peu trop de crème pâtissière. Mais sinon, chapeau!

Vu le contexte de pandémie, la distanciation est respectée & on sent en sécurité. Pour la table tout était excellent. Le service impeccable, tout le personnel s'assure de notre bien être. Bravo a l'équipe du Bistrot.
Un petit bémol: température de ma pièce de viande(macreuse) était tiède.
Bravo continuez
