About

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.

The wait staff are amazing. Food is definetly among the best I've eaten in Quebec. I try to come to Chez Boulay every time I am in town. The dessert paired with the wine from Vignoble Ste- Pétronille is outstanding. Thank you for a delightful dining experience.

Une cuisine authentique, dans le respect des produits. Belle sélection de vins. En dessert: la tarte aux baies d'argousiers est à tomber!!!! Merci, nous venons chez vous chaque fois que nous venons à Québec!

Bel accueil & service... un peu surfait surtout quand on met de la bouffe tiède dans des assiettes chaudes en croyant que cela va réchauffer le plat... plutôt ordinaire!

Même chose au dessert, crème brûlée parfaitement brûlée & la crème tiède mais avec un confit de fruits réfrigéré dans le fond...OUACH!!!

Belle carte des vins, prix abordables. Pas de réaction de la cuisine à notre commentaire de manger de la bouffe tiède tirant sur le froid... pas très gracieux & imputable. Dernière visite car il y a bien d'autres bons restaurants à Québec & mon argent est quand même bonne partout!

Beef is really tender & the dessert (pastry & creme brûlée) is pretty good, well balanced between sweet & sour.
