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.

We had a delicious dinner! The Seal & Foie Gras Mousse appetizer was exquisite. I had the Arctic char which was cooked just right, tender inside & nicely seared on the outside. My friend had the Beef Cheek which was also delicious. I highly recommend the restuarant if you would like a delicious meal which is not your usual fare!

Food, atmosphere & service was excellent for a Friday dinner. Locally sourced ingredients & unique dishes. Boulay was recommended by our hotel staff as a local favourite & many diners appeared to be local. Reservation process was easy- comparable prices to other high quality restaurants in the area- highly recommended

Fantastic service & meal. I had the beef cheek, & my husband had the scallops as main dish. I had the sea buckthorn pie for dessert. The whole thing was fantastic. We had a reservation & we're seated immediately when we arrived. Our server was amazing & took such good care of us. Highly recommend.
