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.

Tout était parfait. C'est toujours avec plaisir que nous revenons chez Boulay. J'aime comment ils utilisent les condiments & aliments du Québec. Leur glace au nard des pinèdes est extraordinaire. À essayer sans faute si vous êtes à Québec.

Notre groupe de 15 personnes a unanimement apprécié la nourriture (parfaitement assaisonnée), l'excellent service & la salle chaleureuse & agréable. Ce fut une expérience sans aucune faute & nous vous remercions chaleureusement pour votre accueil.

Le Boulay ne déçoit jamais. Vous l'avez encore une fois prouvé!

Absolutely wonderful dinner here with my work colleagues. Our server was personable & kind. She served us well throughout the 3 hours we were there. The beef cheek was delicious & so was the creme brule.

À chacun de nos séjours dans la vieille capitale, ce resto, synonyme d'excellence, est un incontournable pour nous. Le service y est toujours excellent, & les plats inimitables du ou des chefs, de purs délices.
