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.

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!

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.
