We had a fabulous dinner at Chez Boulay in the depths of winter in early January. Very creative & inspiring dishes, all perfectly executed. There were many standouts: their French onion soup is one of their signature dishes (absolutely three thumbs up), seabuckthorn meringue pie (very'lemony-y' satisfying). I was enjoying dinner so much I forgot to take any photos of our main courses, one of which was beef neck (?...which was very tender & flavourful). The service was attentive with just the right amount of friendliness. All in all a memorable evening & we'd definitely return at the first opportunity!

Had an amazing dinner Sunday afternoon, excellent suggestion by my server with the beef cheeks. Tender, flavorful & did not break the bank. This is on my top list of favorite restaurants in Quebec. Thank You!

An amazing meal! We had the flat iron steak & the beef cheek, both were incredible. Outstanding service, perfect amount of attention. A little bit loud, but I guess that's because it's busy because it's so good. Highly recommend!

My family & I (party of 7) had dinner at the restaurant four days ago. Following our server's recommendation, four of us ordered the braised beef cheek. It was indeed, delicious, EXCEPT my son's serving. He found it rancid, & with a foul smell. The other three were amazing. We tried his & it did not taste good & did smell bad. We kindly asked our server to smell it, he took it back to the kitchen & promptly returned with'another' piece which had more sauce & tasted equally bad. It seems the chef just put more sauce over the cheek. We asked again our server, he went back to the kitchen, & said the chef told him we had to order something else from the menu. The chef was upset & rude. We decided to just finish our dinner, paid & left. Having said that, if a customer finds his food is rotten or bad, you should be understanding & accepting of this. We asked him to smell it( that is how bad it smelled) & try it. They should have just done a new piece & served it. Not a way to treat a customer. & btw, as I stated before, the other three were amazing. I wish our experience would have been better!

Chez Boulay is a nice option for dining. The pate en croute & carpaccio of char were really good appetizers. My friend was very happy with the onion soup he had. Beef cheek & scallops for the main - très délicieux. However, duck breast & pan seared fois gras - something I would not order again, hence 4 stars. Overall good experience & nice atmosphere.

Had a New Year's Eve dinner here. The appetizers were amazing, especially the smoked fish. Braised Beef was delicious. However, 2 in our party ordered the steak that came in cold. French onion soup is a must have here, delish!

Fantastic dinner last at Chez Boulay-bistro. Our reservation allowed us to arrive early & get seated. Server was fantastic. Wine list was excellent (although expensive). Enjoyed wonderful conversation with our neighboring table & we shared what each other was eating (Duck-Excellent, Beef Cheek - Fantastic, Beef Steak - Delicious, Seal - yes, Seal - Amazing.).

Most tender beef cheek I've had in my life. The bread on a stick was really interesting too

The onion soup & beef cheeks were just fabulous.

Scallops are delicious.

Will come again!
