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.

This was the best dining experience I have had in recent memory. Our server was funny & energetic as well as knowledgeable & definitely took our experience to the next level. For our appetizer we shared the "creamy conifers" & it blew us away. I didn't really know what was in it except for the mushrooms & yet it was one of the best bites I've had in a long time. For our entrees we got the duck & the beef cheek at the recommendation of our waiter. Both were outstanding but the beef cheek was on another level, incredibly flavorful & tender, truly melted in your mouth. Overall this meal was definitely more expensive than many other restaurants in the area but well worth it for a truly unique culinary experience

The pork appetizer was outstanding & changed my life. The entrees, however, did not. I ordered the famed beef cheek & found it to be rather plain & uninspired, kind of like a tough, underseasoned pot roast. The duck entree was probably the best, though still kind of lacking in a way I can't describe. Service was outstanding, as was the atmosphere. We had a great time but it's not a place I'd recommend for the price.

Impeccable de l'accueil jusqu'à la fin du brunch. Entrée de foie gras & ses petits fruits d'accompagnement suivi d'un gravlax de thon sur pain brioché & salade.
