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.

The service was fantastic; the server made us feel
at home, answered all of our questions with a smile & did not chase us out when we were the last ones left. Greatly appreciated.
As for the food, my friends who ordered the beef & the halibut were extremely satisfied, but my friend who ordered the gnocchi-like pasta was a little disappointed (too gummy). I ordered the chicken breast. It was a little bland & I would've preferred more veggies on my plate rather than orzo. On the contrary, for $5 extra, people should order the goat cheese-brioche-honey appetizer. Delicious!
I must also admit that what turned me off the second I walked in the door was the overwhelming fishy odour everywhere in the restaurant.

Excellente cuisine moderne.
Beaucoup de respect pour les ingrédients québécois.
J'aimerais qu'il en soit ainsi pour les produits de microbrasseries, lesquels sont déjà présents mais absents de leur menu sur le web (soit le seul élément absent de leur menu).
& il pourrait y avoir un upgrade avec les grandes bières de disponibles au Québec (& par ricochet un plus grand respect de cette industrie, par la disponibilité & l'affichage de ces derniers).
Pensons notamment aux grands noms tels Auval, Brasserie Dunham, Robin, etc.
