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.

Following my comments, you'll find my original email in regards to accomodating my request for our small wedding party...
The experience for each of us was AMAZING!!! The communications between Patrice & Sophie were clear & timely. Bertrand our server, was excellent along with his collegues who also checked up on us. Our son, who attended culinary school & is working in a popular Ottawa area restaurant was so impressed by the overall experience as well. I can't remember the last time I ate such delicious food & I've spread the word. Regrettably, we live in Ottawa & Toronto yet look forward to eating in your wonderful restaurant everytime we visit the Quebec City.
Thank you for making such a special day even more special!

RE: Special Request
Our son & his fiancée just announced that they are getting married in Old Quebec City on Saturday, December, 2 at 16:30. My husband & I have heard wonderful things about your restaurant & hoped to reserve a table for six people for no earlier that 18:00 & no later than 20:00.
We realize that our request is last minute yet we hope that you can accommodate a small group for this wedding meal.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration.
Looking forward to your response!
