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 best meal we had in Quebec City hands down! Everything was perfect: the atmostphere, the room, the service, & especially the food. We had the bison tartare, pork belly & seafood, & chicken breast. Highly, highly recommend Chez Boulay if you want an outstanding dining experience in Quebec City.

We had a wonderful dinner here. We had an early reservation as we have 2 small children . We were accommodated without an issue, & seated quickly. Our waiter quickly took drink & appetizer orders as well as food for the children. Service was perfect. Some fine dining establishments see children as a problem & rush you through your meal. Before we left our waiter was taking care of at least 5 tables, with 3 of them having your children at them. I was very impressed by his patience & professionalism. No one was rushed & the food & service was some of the best we have experienced! I would highly recommend Boulay.

This place makes good food, & uses high level ingredients. That said - for us the highlight of the meal was the dessert! I love when restaurants work with what's available locally & adjust to work with it. That was truly highlighted on all of their desserts. The "lemon" pie blew me away with how good & unique it was. Highly recommended!
