The menu celebrates the seasons and the region's abundant produce: wild plants, boreal herbs, and house-made marinades add character to the generous plates. The beef tartare, tenderized with sunflower oil, is combined with marinated celery

In the charming town centre of Mont-Tremblant, Chef Sébastien Houle is right at home in this attractive old house, after gaining culinary experience all over the world, including spells as a private chef on yachts.
