Reserve a TableOur Kitchen
Our kitchen is rooted in Québec's seasons, guided by a respect for local producers and a love for honest, flavourful cooking. We work with small farms and artisans across Québec to source the freshest ingredients, and our menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what the land and water offer.
Techniques blend classic French training with contemporary Canadian creativity. The result is food that feels both familiar and quietly original, served without pretence but with real care.
Led by a team of passionate chefs, our kitchen is a place where craft and creativity meet. Our chefs bring experience from Montréal's top restaurants and a deep connection to Québec's culinary heritage, working closely with front-of-house to ensure every dish tells a story.

Grilled vegetables and seafood offer lighter options, while the fire brings depth and a gentle char to everything it touches. It is cooking that rewards patience and attention.
