This restaurant with a simple, bright decor, which takes its name from the iconic balsam fir tree, has the convivial atmosphere of a neighbourhood bistro, where friends meet to share plates and bottles of wine. In the kitchen, Samuel Boyer (formerly at Le Mousso and Le Club Chasse et Pêche) cooks up flavoursome modern cuisine: chicken liver mousse with mead, radish and turnip tartlets, halibut accras with seaweed, and a blackcurrant and rhubarb dessert – to be washed down with natural wine from a fine selection. This gourmet hideaway in the Laurentians is irresistible.
