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.

Such a perfect restaurant for visitors in Quebec!
Everything including the food, service & vibe here was perfect! Our server kindly recommended all the menus & we could have gravlax for our starter which tasted really nice. If possible, you should try it.
As a long time fan of French onion soup, the signature onion soup was splendid too!
Our main menu, the Arctic char was a masterpiece of today's dinner :)
Actually we didn't have the idea of taking dessert here, but as we continued our meal, I thought dessert would also be nice & it surely was!
Thank you for all the happy memory in Quebec! Merci :)

Nous avons emmené des amis de Toronto & ils ont beaucoup apprécié. Cependant j'étais déçue qu'il n'y ait pas eu de mousse au chocolat au menu dessert. Mais la crème brûlée epétait excellente, vous demeurez min restaurant préféré,

Première fois dans ce restaurant. Les assiettes sont un plaisir pour les yeux. Je l'ai regardé une bonne grosse minute avant d'y goûter, juste pour laisser mon cerveau regarder tous les détails! J'ai pris l'assiette du pêcheur au brunch. Meilleure assiette de brunch que j'ai mangé de ma vie dans un restaurant. Chapeau! Je n'avais plus faim après m'être retenue de licher mon assiette, mais j'ai pris une crème brûlée pour dessert quand même. Hhhmmmm . Délicieuse! Le service était excellent! Quelle belle expérience!

C'est toujours un réel bonheur que d'aller souper chez Boulay, tant pour la qualité du service (de l'entrée dans le restaurant jusqu'au dessert!) que de la nourriture. Merci!

Bonjour, en général le service l'ambiance, les serveurs, tous étais parfait
nous étions cinq personnes & deux d'entre elles étais près de 80 ans. Ils ont trouver la musique très forte & agressive, mais ils sont âgés
Par contre le commentaire de trois personnes étais que la viande étais vraiment remplis de tirasse & il semblais manqué de cuisson. le serveur nous avais mentionné que la viande choisi étais légèrement fibreuse, mais la cuisson étais très saignante, en nom médium saignant comme énoncé ?
Je recommande souvent votre resto a pleins de personnes & c'étais la première fois que nous étions déçu !!!
Aussi le pouding chômeur étais décevant sans sauce habituelle dans ce classique parmi les desserts sucré :)
peut-être un peu trop innové en rapport a la recette original
Ceci dis, prenez quand même ce commentaire du coté positif & constructif, & demande un léger ajustement
merci d'en tenir compte
un bon client qui vous aime XX

Très belle soirée dans votre restaurant! Il s'agissait de notre deuxième visite & nous avons passé un très bon moment!

J'ai cependant retrouvé une dizaine d'arêtes dans mon plat principal, ce qui a un peu gêné ma dégustation.

Autrement, l'accueil, le service & les desserts ont été exquis! Merci!
