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.

We had the three course meal advertised for the Quebec Table Gourmet event, which was smoked salmon, steak, & a dessert. The first course was lovely, the steak was very chewy like the cheaper cuts you'd get at a grocery store, but was cooked nicely. The dessert was write nice. Our servers were fine, I think we had three separate people check in on us throughout the meal. The atmosphere was okay, but it very much felt like a hotel restaurant. It was fine, suppose I prefer more intimate experiences.

Pour un restaurant qui propose une cuisine raffinée, le service expéditif & le ton familier de l'équipe détonne! Le manque de considération / refus de notre serveur pour notre demande de changement de table nous a grandement déçu. Sa désinvolture & son manque d'écoute aussi. C'était notre première expérience à ce restaurant, & très certainement la dernière...

Recommend the beef cheek which is very soft & the side dish is beetroot & other veggie. It gives a good balance between protein & fibre. Salad & soup both are good too. Service is good & attentive. It's efficient to have my lunch get ready. Not much waiting overall. Will visit again when coming to Quebec

Loved everything! The restaurant was able to accommodate us when we requested a seat ahead of our reservation time, the Goose Breast appetizer was AMAZING, we loved the wine recommendation, the Beef Cheek entree was incredible (it's obvious why it's been on the menu for 12 years), & the duck was delightful. We ended with the creme brûlée, which was delicious & not too sweet, & a shot of espresso. 10/10 would recommend, & hope to be back next time we're in Quebec City!
