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.

Le service était excellent. Nous avons été pour le lunch un vendredi vers 13h15 & l'endroit était presque vide, donc plus calme & un service très rapide & attentionné. Le plat de magret de canard était certainement l'une des assiettes les mieux équilibrée & présentée que j'ai eu droit depuis longtemps. La viande était très juteuse, la cuisson parfaite & tous les éléments du plat se complémentaient à merveille. La beauté de l'assiette, les couleurs & disposition des aliments confirme que c'est un grand restaurant gastronomique. Vraiment très beau travail en cuisine. Je reviendrai certainement lors d'un prochain passage à Québec.

Une très bonne brasserie à la française. Il serait plus juste que je mette 4 étoiles & demi, car il m'a manqué l'effet wow sur plusieurs plats. C'était tout de même très bon. Bravo à vous. PS: comptez 250 dollars environ pour 2 personnes.

Went on a Saturday night with my family including my rather particular parents. All were very impressed with the service, atmosphere, & most importantly the food. We ordered 4 appetizers including the mushrooms & the char carpaccio & they were phenomenal. For entrees, we got the chicken, char, scallops & red snapper bisque. All were excellent & are recommended. We found the pricing for the food & the bottles of wine to be extremely fair. We will definitely be going back on our next trip to Quebec.

This restaurant seamlessly blends modern charm with Nordic flavors, making it a perfect introduction to this culinary realm. Quick & accommodating service enhances the serene atmosphere. Take advantage of the standout beef cheek, a tender masterpiece. With a perfect wine & cider selection, this brief escape promises a delightful first-time journey into Nordic culinary excellence.

Nous avions réservé pour le brunch à 12h15. nous avions été très surprise qu'à cette heure-ci du service nous n'avions pas pu commander la création du jour. Nous obtenons à notre questionnement sur l'heure à laquelle faudrait-il venir pour avoir la chance d'y couter, une réponse du serveur vexé avec un ton bien supérieur que nous étions en fin de service & que tout dépend de l'achalandage ... à savoir que seulement un tiers du restaurant à peine était rempli...Niveau repas, rien d'exceptionnel, juste un oeuf proposé dans les plats pour faire brunch.. rien de bien original surtout pour une petite poutine au goût d'Ahston & une salade verte un peu passée. Nous passons notre tour.

staff was helpful with wine recommendations. the beef cheek was incredible, super tender & very flavorful. vegetarian options were somewhat limited but were also quite tasty. the dessert options were spectacular. we tried the maple creme brulee & the seabuckthorne meringuee with the dessert wine pairings & were blown away. would certainly come back.
