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.

Peu de souplesse pour les intolérances/allergies, on enlève l'item sans proposer de remplacer, ce qui est pourrait être apprécié :) mis à part cela nous avons très bien mangé !

C'était une 1ère visite pour notre groupe de 15 personnes & on a beaucoup apprécié notre souper. La nourriture était vraiment une belle expérience culinaire (seule déception: la tartiflette n'était plus disponible au menu), le service était vraiment top & le serveur très avenant & agréable (ce n'est pas toujours le cas à Québec). Rien à redire si ce n'est que ce fut une belle expérience positive.

Si on est assis près des cuisine l'endroit est trop bruyant
Le repas « joue de boeuf » pas chaud tiède
L'entrée avec crevettes nordique : très peu de crevette juste concombre ordinaire sheap
La soupe à l'oignon mauvaise
Crème brûlée délicieuse
Finalement j'ai été peu satisfaite pour le prix demandé

Such a perfect restaurant for visitors in Quebec!
Everything including the food, service & vibe here was perfect! Our server kindly recommended all the menus & we could have gravlax for our starter which tasted really nice. If possible, you should try it.
As a long time fan of French onion soup, the signature onion soup was splendid too!
Our main menu, the Arctic char was a masterpiece of today's dinner :)
Actually we didn't have the idea of taking dessert here, but as we continued our meal, I thought dessert would also be nice & it surely was!
Thank you for all the happy memory in Quebec! Merci :)

We enjoyed the absolute best french onion soup we've ever eaten. The lamb & scallop main courses were outstanding. & every staff person we encountered was welcoming & attentive, but not overwhelming. Lovely evening!

Joli déco du restaurant, avec un excellent service professionnel & attentif. Très bonne suggestion d'accord mets & vin avec un joli choix de vins.
Les plats sont soignés, très bien présentés & d'une très haute qualité. Rapport qualité-prix satisfaisant au vu de la prestation. Je recommande fortement pour les soupers romantiques, c'est une belle place à retenir....

C'est toujours un réel bonheur que d'aller souper chez Boulay, tant pour la qualité du service (de l'entrée dans le restaurant jusqu'au dessert!) que de la nourriture. Merci!
