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.

Our server was terrific. She explained the local ingredients, provided us with timely service & was extremely pleasant. We appreciated the subtle flavors derived from local ingredients. The walleye was superb & we especially enjoyed the scallops with cauliflower, the seal pate & sweet fern profiterole. How lovely to eat truly local cuisine!

The French Onion Soup & the Beef tongue were literally perfection. It melts in your mouth. This is currently my favorite restaurant of all time, & I am upset it's not in my hometown.

Nous avons adoré comme toujours. Accueil, service & ambiance extra.
Les plats de nos conjoints étaient impeccables. Ils ont choisi le bison comme met principal & l'entrée de buffala & poêlée de champignons. Les frites Pont-Neuf! Un must! Menoum
Mon entrée: Les raviolettis ont été servis température pièce la sauce était un peu trop acidulée & gélatineuse à mon goût. J'ai moins aimé ce plat. À revoir selon moi.
Notre plat principal duo de veau. Très belle combinaison des éléments: betteraves, lentilles, ris de veau délicieux. Présentation appétissante & plat généreux. Bémol, le veau n'était pas tendre. Ma belle-soeur & moi, l'avons trouvé difficile à mastiquer.
Les desserts: profiteroles...Le paradis!
La tarte à l'argousier, original & délicieuse.
Une très belle expérience!
Merci
