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.

Wonderful restaurant & reasonably priced for the quality & fine dining experience. The scallops are to die for! Also, try their version of an Old Fashion, called MIEL DE FLEUR. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Très bon restaurant. Les plats sont beaux & bons. Les produits de qualités. De belles quantités. On garde l'esprit « bistrot » avec une grande salle où l'ont est proches de nos voisins. L'accueil des serveurs est aussi dans cet esprit.

Très délicieux! Pour moi, l'attente n'était pas du tout longue & les portions étaient généreuses. Je recommande la crème brûlée !

Celebrated a birthday here & the food was great! Service was a little slow but overall, definitely recommend for dinner. We shared a few different apps & mains, the arctic char carpaccio app was a favourite. They also had a special "snowball" dessert for the carnival, 10/10!
