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.

Tout était excellent. Cependant lorsqu`on demande précisément un MARTINI, une jeune femme nous apporte 2 verres en précisant: voici le moitié moitié & voici le rouge & elle quitte rapidement. Juste à regarder ce n`était pas un MARTINI. Pourquoi ne pas nous dire ne pas avoir de Martini mais nous proposer autre chose que l`on aurait accepté. C`est nous prendre pour des imbéciles... sur la facture c'était un vermouth de cidre Rouge Gorge. Elle a sûrement "sauté" quelques cours.....

Mon contre-filet de boeuf était très dur, beaucoup de tendons; mais le serveur s'en ait aperçu & m'a gentiment proposé de le remplacer par un autre plat.

Everything was great except for the carpaccio which had too much of the marinated onions. It made it taste too vinegary.

Food has a unique twist with spice from tundra & the like all Québec stuff. There is 2 dining room, first one is directly when you get in good ambiance but can be noisy. The second room is behind the kitchen almost the hotel lobby very very much calmer. Very nice place would recommend.
