What to Order
Tasting Menu (Menu Dégustation)
This multi-course experience offers a curated journey through the chef's seasonal creations, often featuring local ingredients.
"Nous avons pris le menu dégustation et tous les plats étaient délicieux. Le service est aussi impeccable. Plusieurs petits attentions nous été offertes durant la soirée, ce qui a rendu le tout encore plus mémorable."
Frederique Luydlin Lapointe
Beef Tartare
A fresh and flavorful tartare, often enhanced with unique seasonings and textures like sumac, pickled garlic, and sesame tuiles.
"The fresh beef paired beautifully with sumac and pickled garlic. The sesame tuiles on top added a touch of sweetness that helped balance the low acidity of the garlic."
