About us

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.

Merci à Patrice de nous avoir trouvé une table pour souper car je m'étais trompé de jour pour la réservation. & le service de Flo est toujours agréable accompagné de sa bonne humeur. La nourriture est toujours aussi excellente. Bravo l'équipe.

They heavily promote their signature dishes - the beef cheeks braised for 35 hours were like mush & it was reflective of the taste. The French soup was nothing special even though it was presented as another signature dish. The carpaccio was excellent. This is a restaurant set up for high tourist turnover not for culinary excellence.

My experience at Chez Boulay in Quebec was quite the culinary adventure! The bison steak was absolutely on point – perfectly cooked & seasoned to perfection. Unfortunately, the lamb dish left me with a bit of a fatty disappointment, drenched in an overwhelming sauce. However, the onion soup, prepared "cappuccino style," was a delightful twist with its frothy presentation. Chez Boulay offers a mixed bag of flavors, but the bison steak & the creative onion soup are the stars of the show, perfect for those looking for some trendy gastronomic moments. �

The best meal we had in Quebec City!

The onion soup was savory sweet goodness that came with a crispy piece of cheese.

The beef cheeks just melt in your mouth. The butcher’s cut beef was tender & the fries were perfect - crispy on the outside & soft inside.

Our dessert (pudding with maple syrup) was delicious as well.

Service was lovely. Attentive & we did not feel rushed despite not having a reservation.

Excellent sur toute la ligne. Je ne vais pas souvent au resto, mais quand j'y vais c'est pour ce type de souper.

Onion soup that I had was the BEST I've ever had, but the swordfish special that we were served had a very fishy flavor. Fresh fish should not taste "fishy". We were disappointed because I had read so many good reviews.

Souper après une soirée au Diamant & on avait pourtant prévenu notre arrivée tardive à 21:30 pour un groupe de 12 personnes.
Trop de gesticulations négatives & ostentatoires de la part du maitre d'hôtel, énervé, disgracieux. La jeune serveuse a été impeccable, heureusement, & a rattrapé en partie cet accueil qui n'en était pas un concevable & attendu de la part d'un resto de cette réputation. Voilà

What a wonderful evening! Food was spectacular. Best onion soup ever. We had lamb & arctic char for our entrees. Perfect. Our server, Melanie, was so friendly & attentive. Merci beaucoup. You should definitely have a meal at Chez Boulay
