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.

Les plats que propose ce restaurant sont originaux & excellents. Ils sont très travaillés & fins. Je vous recommande de prendre l'assiette de fromages avec le pain maison (que je n'ai pas eu le temps de prendre en photo, tellement les fromages étaient bons). Le plat sur la photo est la pièce du boucher (ici, du boeuf, mais ils proposent aussi de bison normalement). Les prix sont assez élevés mais la qualité se paye! (165$ à deux pour plats, desserts & verre de vin).

Excellent food experience. Our best meal in QC & I would go back in a hot minute. Great balance of flavor, texture & color. We loved it!

Vraiment déçu par ce restaurant. J'ai pris une soupe à l'oignon qui était trop acide. Comme plat, la viande de bison était bien seule dans son assiette, accompagné d'une demi carotte & de quelques bouts de navets. Cela manquait clairement d'équilibre dans les saveurs. Ps: les pétoncles étaient très bonnes (petite quantité par contre). Choisissez plutôt la patate d'or qui vous régalera davantage.

Not the first time we go. Food is superbe, encouraging local products & distributors. Beef cheek was super well done. No need for a knife, as it should be. Fish was great too. dessert were maple mousse is delicate & not heavy on the sweet taste. Sorbets was also very nice.

This place makes good food, & uses high level ingredients. That said - for us the highlight of the meal was the dessert! I love when restaurants work with what's available locally & adjust to work with it. That was truly highlighted on all of their desserts. The "lemon" pie blew me away with how good & unique it was. Highly recommended!

We visited this restaurant on a weeknight. We arrived 30 minutes earlier than our reservation time & they were able to accommodate us. The dining room was quite busy. We ordered an onion soup, a beef cheek, butcher cut steak which was chuck steak & a pork belly. The bread was not warmed up so it wasn't good. The onion soup was excellent. No bread & cheese in the soup. It was served with a cracker & a piece of cheese. The soup was still excellent although there was no cheese in the soup. The beef cheek was good. The steak was very small. We got 3 pieces only. I guess it was less than 4 oz. That was probably why it came with a bowl of fries. The pork belly was excellent with the pumpkin puree. The ambiance was upscale. Service was not bad but our server was too busy & got no time to check on us.
