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.

Good lunch in a comfortable room. Salad or soup that come with the meal are better than the typical. Cavatelli with broccoli & local cheese was light & perfectly executed. Lean, flaky beef cheeks with a complimentary ratatouille was superb. Check out their store. More on Eatingwithziggy[.com]

La nourriture était excellente. La tarte à l'argousier meringuée m'a vraiment impressionné. Le service était sympathique mais un peu lent. Le serveur m'a proposé du pain avec mon repas mais l'a oublié jusqu'à ce que j'aie presque fini mon plat. Tant pis.

Everything about this place was exceptional. The service received was great, they were very helpful in explaining the menu, & recommending some great drinks. The food was delicious. It was my first time having bison flank steak, & I couldn't have imagined it to be any better. Fries were the side for it, which I thought was strange, but they still stated great. Portions were great as they were the right size.
