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 went here for brunch & both of our entries were amazing. We ordered the marble foie gras to share, it was so delicious that beat all the rest of the places we tried this dish. We got the steak & duck, both were very delicious. Definitely recommend!

This is not our first time eating in your restaurant however this time I was least impressed. Our server was extremely nice & she took good care of us. We were the first clients & it took awhile for someone to look after us but once our server was attributed to our table it was good. It was an extremely hot day & it would have been nice to have a salad on the menu as an entree. Also, the presentation was ordinary. I expected more from your establishment. The food was good, but there was no finesse. I expected a more refined presentation in keeping with the prices on your menu. It felt more like a meal for people on the run instead of a dining experience. I have always recommended your restaurant to many visitors but it was good for us to return to compare since we live in Montreal & do not have the chance to dine at Boulay regularly.
