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.

First time for us at your establishment, we totally enjoyed our experience. The place looked great & the atmosphere was pleasant. The food was fantastic & our waitress Milenne wrapped it up all wonderfully for us. Will definitely recommend your place to friends & family!

Le serveur était sympathique & drôle, par contre le doré était un peu décevant, manquant de saveur & d'assaisonnement. Cela étant, j'y retournerai!

My fish & the golden beets underneath arrived lukewarm at best. The hollandaise sauce was pretty, but lacked flavor. My meal was uninspiring. Also, our waitress did not serve us any bread with the meal although other tables around me all received bread. Perhaps I had to order it?

Sommes déçus.... certains plats trop salés (boudin), plutôt froids (omble), trop cuits (doré) & tiraillants (tataki de thon). Ce n'est pas notre première visite, mais notre première post-pandémie. Souhaitons que cela soit temporaire.

Nous sommes des habitués de Boulay depuis des années. Malheureusement, hier soir, nous avons eu un délai inexplicable de 45 min entre notre entrée & notre plat principal. Notre serveuse a bien tenté de nous faire patienter mais l'attente était décevante. Si c'était notre première visite, on n'y serait pas retourné. Heureusement, nous connaissons bien le restaurant & nous y retournerons. Ce sera mieux la prochaine fois.
Nous ne sommes jamais déçu de la nourriture & la préparation. Hier soir ne faisait pas exception. Nous avons été ravi des goûts & de nos choix.
