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.

J'ai été déçu par le repas. La nourriture était fraiche & de qualité, mais sans WOW.
L'entrée était ordinaire, on goûtait beaucoup plus la garniture que la protéine.
Quant au plat, c'était bon, mais rien d'exceptionnel.

Cependant, le dessert était particulièrement excellent.
Dans l'ensemble tout était bon, mais considérant la renommé de la place, & la qualité du chef, je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus exceptionnel.

Great food & service would highly recommend!! My girlfriend & I started with the french onion soup which was out of this world followed by the beef sirloin & the beef cheek which was so soft tender & savory. Lastly we had the crème brûlée dessert which was our favorite & Bert came to sing happy birthday for the special occasion. We will be coming back for sure & this arguably is the best restaurant we've been to in Canada

J'ai retrouvé la finesse de la gastronomie de ma France natale avec des produits québécois précieusement sélectionnés. De l'entrée au dessert c'était parfait, & le service impeccable. Un restaurant que je peux recommander les yeux fermés.

Pour la première fois, je n'ai pas vraiment aimé la nourriture... j'avais choisi la cassolette avec les légumineuses & la cuisson des fèves était variable, certaines fèves étaient tendre & d'autres très croquantes (pois chiche) .. la préparation était sèche & rien de vraiment vinaigré dans l'assiette pour nous faire saliver pour compenser.. Nous avions choisi tous les deux ce plat & le constat a été partagé
