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.

My friend recommended that this was a must for my visit to Quebec. It was wonderful - the food, the waitstaff - everything. Highly recommend if you are going to splurge on one meal while in Quebec City, this is the place to go.

We were a bit disappointed as it was not what we hoped - the waiter abandoned us & was a bit sarcastic - we didn't realise the lunch was a set 3 course menu & no other options & although we liked the food we felt like they didn't care if we were there or not. Since we had cancelled another reservation which I was excited about because our French Quebec guide so highly recommended this place we felt disappointed our eating here did not seem appreciated

Absolutely delightful brunch, highly recommend the various options they have, as I managed to try almost all of them. I would definitely rate my experience 5 stars, if it wasn't for the service. Very polite staff, but it took more than 30 minutes to get a coffee &/or mimosas, & we felt like our waiter forgot us most of the time. But other than that, excellent!

Chez Boulay-bistro was outstanding! The starter of French onion soup was wonderful as were our entrees & dessert. The presentation was so interesting. The service was attentive but not excessive. I would highly recommend Chez Boulay.
