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.

Great food & service! The Onion Soup is a must. The Boar Butcher Cut was the best I have ever had. Just a really nice place & highly recommended. Wish I remembered the servers name, but he was extremely helpful with the menu & nice throughout the meal.

Great food & service would highly recommend!! My girlfriend & I started with the french onion soup which was out of this world followed by the beef sirloin & the beef cheek which was so soft tender & savory. Lastly we had the crème brûlée dessert which was our favorite & Bert came to sing happy birthday for the special occasion. We will be coming back for sure & this arguably is the best restaurant we've been to in Canada

Reservation is recommended. We tried the different entrees including the fish, Scottish egg, beef steak & duck confit. All were excellent. The dessert maple cake & ice cream were so good. Lunch prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.

My husband & I were visiting Quebec City from the US. In searching for a special place for dinner we found Chez Boulay-bistro boreal but had to wait 3 days for a reservation! It was worth waiting for. The meal was fantastic. We had an artic char appetizer which was presented beautifully & my entree was artic char over kale! My husband had the lamb shank over sweet potatoes for his entree, again, beautifully presented & the meat was very tender. We loved our experience! Excellent service. We will highly recommend this restaurant to our traveling friends. Thank you Chez Boulay Bistro!

Superb, from the cocktails (classics had a new twist) to the desserts. Everything is a bit unexpected in the best way. Although very elevated, portions are not skimpy. Highly recommend.
