The Spirit of
Le Cinquième Élément

Water
Our planet's life source which must be protected. Respecting this balance allows us to cook with Compton's land water. We recycle our water so you can savor it in its purest form.

Earth
Galactic dust. Mother Earth. Thanks to its soil, neighbouring farmers can provide us with unique ingredients to cook with. We are proud to do our part through composting and recycling.

Air
Breath of life which makes it possible to walkthrough invisible paths. It enables you to breath in our kitchen's flavorful aroma. We reduce our carbonic by buying local products.

Fire
Provider of heat and light which finds its rhythm under our cauldrons. We intend to preserve the love of good food by braising healthy and authentic ingredients. We are commited to the Terroir et Saveurs banner.

Quintessence
That's Le Cinquième Élément: Universal force unifying the four elements which are behind astronomical phenomenons. Our specialty: Gastronomy. It means that our passion is expressed through a rich array of local products. It's our art. It's our alchemy!

A farm-to-fork restaurant inspired with locally grown products. We are proud to create under the « Terroir et Saveurs du Québec» banner.
