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 will always remember our experience at Chez Boulay. The food & the service was exceptional. Our server accommodated a special request that he really didn't need to.

Service trop rapide. On nous sert notre entrée avant notre vin & notre dessert alors que nos verres de vin étaient encore pleins. Réservation à 18h30, nous étions de retour à la maison à Sainte-Foy, à 20h15.

J'aurais apprécié que les infos concernant les exclusions lorsqu'on a un forfait soient plus claires & précises. Ça éviterait des surprises à la réception de l'addition.

Bons plats ! Les prix sont cependant légèrement élevés. Portions raisonnables. Un éclairage un peu plus tamisé style chandelle serait bien. :)

o Was looking forward to appetizer (onion soup) but was never brought to table. Waitress apologized & took it off bill but better customer service would have been to offer an alternative such as a free dessert. It set bad tone for the remainder of dinner. Butcher cut hanger steak perfectly cooked but serving was skimpy for the price at only 3 small pieces, & the maple glaze mixed into the beet sauce such that I could not get distinct flavor of either - food was poorly plated. Hopefully will have better experience at next visit.
