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.

Loved my meal here!! I'm a pescatarian & the waiter was great at helping me navigate the menu. I ordered a crab cake style appetizer & a scallop & vegetable entree & both were incredible. The other photos I added are what my family got & also loved (meaty items). The desserts were excellent as well! Highly recommend!

Nous avons passé un moment merveilleux chez Chez Boulay le 15 juin 2025. En tant que touristes venus de Toronto, nous avons été ravis de découvrir une cuisine exceptionnelle - autant le plat de viande que l'option végétarienne étaient parfaitement préparés & savoureux. Le service était irréprochable du début à la fin : attentif sans être envahissant, & vraiment chaleureux.

Mention spéciale pour l'accueil réservé à notre petite fille - le personnel l'a traitée avec beaucoup de gentillesse & nous nous sommes sentis les bienvenus en famille, ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas dans un restaurant de cette qualité.

Il faut aussi souligner l'excellent rapport qualité-prix, surtout comparé à des restaurants équivalents à Toronto. Nous sommes repartis avec le sentiment que chaque dollar en valait la peine. Une adresse que nous recommandons vivement.

We had a wonderful experience at Chez Boulay on June 15, 2025. As tourists from Toronto, we were delighted to discover such outstanding food - both the meat & vegetarian dishes were beautifully prepared & full of flavour. The service was excellent from start to finish: attentive without being intrusive, & genuinely warm.

A special mention for how kindly they treated our toddler daughter - they made us feel welcome as a family, which isn't always a given at a restaurant of this calibre.

The value for money was remarkable compared to similar dining in Toronto. We left feeling that every dollar was well spent. Highly recommended.

Oh this restaurant has some of the best food I've ever had! Service is attentive & helpful. Food is phenomenal. We started with the shrimp as an appetizer. My partner had bison as the main & I had the scallops. It was one of the best meals. We ended off with two desserts, one was recommended by the server which is a berry meringue & the other was a chocolate opera cake. Both of them were really good. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Absolutely wonderful experience! The food & drinks were delicious!! The service was amazing & the atmosphere was very welcoming! Definitely in my top 5 favorite restaurants I've been to. Highly recommend! Expect to be there dining for at least 2-2.5 hours (which they actually mention on their website), but it's well worth it! Really take the time to enjoy the food & experience!
