About us

With their rigorous climate marked by a distinct seasonal cycle, northern territories are gifted with unique fauna and flora adapted to their extreme reality: game, fresh water fish, wild fruit, forest mushrooms, lichen… inspired by these unique elements, a rising number of chefs are exploring this once neglected exceptional culinary legacy.

In Quebec, Jean-Luc Boulay and Arnaud Marchand, supported by a passionate team, have been standing up to the challenge of inventing quebec inspired northern cuisine since 2012. Connecting the abundant proximity of boreal forests and the exceptional quality of local products, they salvage amidst french techniques to favour a true encounter of flavours. Local, healthy and inventive, the Northern cuisine from Quebec expresses within each bite the very best of our emerging culinary tradition.

Expérience du brunch du samedi midi, avec des plats régionaux, bien dimensionnés & sublimés par le mix avec le côté frenchy du chef. Le service (commande de plats, demande d'addition) peut être un peu long même quand la salle est loin d'être pleine mais pour le reste agreabilité de tout le personnel & surtout mets excellents, en plus d'une large carte des boissons, vins au verre inclus

Nous avons eu la chance d'y aller pour un brunch & l'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. L'accueil était extrêmement chaleureux & toute l'équipe a été attentionnée tout au long du repas, ce qui a rendu le moment encore plus agréable.

Le brunch inclut deux allongés ou un bol de café au lait, j'ai choisi le bol de café au lait, parfaitement réconfortant & très bien préparé. Ensuite, les rôties & les confitures maison servies sur demande étaient délicieuses & apportaient une belle touche artisanale.

Comme plat principal, j'ai choisi Le Bûcheron : macreuse de boeuf saisie, oeuf au plat, poutine & sauce hollandaise au sapin. Une assiette généreuse, originale & parfaitement équilibrée. Les saveurs étaient riches & réconfortantes, avec une touche boréale qui rend le plat vraiment unique.

On comprend rapidement pourquoi ce restaurant figure parmi les établissements distingués par le Guide Michelin 2025. Une adresse incontournable pour un brunch raffiné, authentique & mémorable.

It's a nice restaurant with delicious food. I ordered the brunch menu with flank steak, & it tasted amazing.

However, the service felt somewhat cold & inattentive. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier, but my experience was noticeably different from some other tables. When I arrived on time for my reservation, I waited at the entrance for about 10 minutes while two staff members were right next to me using the computer, but I wasn't greeted or acknowledged, nobody said a word to me.

There was also no explanation of the menu, so I chose the brunch option on my own. It included a black coffee or latte, but I wasn't asked for my preference when ordering. I had to bring it up myself after my main dish was served. I wonder if I am getting the beverage at all had I not brought it up.

Throughout the meal, the service felt minimal-the server placed the dish on my table without saying anything, & when I thanked her, there was no response, she just turned & walked away. I also noticed there's a little bug flying around my table.

Overall, the food was good, but the service experience could be improved to match the quality of the cuisine. Maybe it's a one-off during a busy day but it did make me feel unwelcomed.

This is brunch with a twist :) Steak, trout & pulled pork for brunch :) But everything was so tasty & the presentation was really impressive.
Excellent food, excellent service.

Nous avons très, très, très bien mangé chez Boulay, en brunch, avec les enfants. Franchement, tout était excellent, rien à redire.

Le service est impeccable, attentionné sans être lourd. La bouffe est superbe, autant dans l'exécution que dans la qualité des produits. L'endroit est feutré, lumineux, avec de belles grandes fenêtres - une ambiance à la fois élégante & chaleureuse.

Nous avons mangé de la truite & du saumon fumé, tous deux vraiment exceptionnels. Autant le salé que le sucré étaient remarquables. Ma fille a pris une crêpe, & là aussi, c'était irréprochable.

Bref, super expérience du début à la fin. On y retourne sans hésiter.
