What to Order
Dry-Aged Bluefin Tuna
This seafood dish is a standout, praised for its deeply concentrated umami flavor, beautifully balanced with bright, fruity notes of plum and blackberry.
"The dry-aged bluefin tuna may have been the best seafood dish I’ve ever had. Each bite was packed with deeply concentrated umami, enhanced by bright, fruity notes of plum and blackberry."

Corn Madeleines, Corn Cannoli, and Popcorn (Dessert)
A playful yet refined dessert trio that reimagines a common Quebec crop into something extraordinary, showcasing creativity and balanced flavors.
"Dessert was also impeccable. The corn madeleine, corn cannoli, and popcorn reimagined one of Quebec’s most pedestrian crops into something playful yet refined."

Foie Gras
While one reviewer found it bland, multiple others implicitly praise the overall "explosion sensorielle" and "perfection" of all dishes, suggesting it's generally well-executed within the tasting menu.
"Chaque bouchées, chaque accord met et vin m’a transporté dans un autre monde culinaire. Autant gustative que sensoriel."

Scallops
Featured as a prime ingredient from the St. Lawrence River, the scallops are part of the meticulously crafted tasting menu that highlights local Canadian seafood.
"I visited at a perfect time for Canadian seafood, with prime ingredients from the coasts and the St. Lawrence River like bluefin tuna and scallops."
Jea Kim
Cheese Course
This course was specifically highlighted as the only dish universally appreciated by one reviewer's table, suggesting it's a consistently strong offering.
"Le pire, c’était l’accord mets-vins : environ 200-250$ par personne pour des vins sans intérêt, servis en carafe parfois, qui ne s’accordaient même pas spécialement avec ce qu’on mangeait. Pour 650$ par personne, c’est dur à avaler."
Bartek Bulzak
Mocktail Pairing
The non-alcoholic pairing is highly recommended, praised for its thoughtful composition that echoes and reinforces the flavors of each dish.
"L’accord mocktail vaut vraiment la peine, un grand travail d’accord à été fait et ça se goûte."
Marie-Pier Gagné
Wine Pairing
Each course is accompanied by a carefully selected wine pairing, designed to enhance the culinary journey and create moments of "extase."
"L'expérience commencée par un code secret reçu quelques heures avant, nous promettant ainsi une soirée autant ludique qu'excitante. Que dire de cette explosion sensorielle, olfactive et gustative avec ses plats et ses vins les accompagnant."
