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 were very happy to have enjoyed Chez Boulay twice (lunch & dinner) during our brief visit to Quebec City. It was a definite highlight & will be recommended to others.

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

Seul petit bémol, plats principaux pas assez chauds ( boudin & agneau).
L'entrée de foie gras & le carpaccio d'omble nous ont ravi!
Très bien conseillé sur le choix des vins.
Nous avons trouvé notre expérience très satisfaisante.

It's loud because there are a lot of people. The food is extremely good. That's why. But on top the music is to loud. Very difficult to talk in a normal voice.

Entrees were great, artic char crudo was good, but the red onion was overpowering
Ambiance is too touristy- feel like meal was rushed

This was out 3rd visit to Chez Boulay & it has exceeded expectations every time. It is one of the best restaurants in Canada. The food is memorable & the staff are all well trained, professional, friendly & engaged. They made us feel that they were glad to have us there. On top of all that, the food is still the centre piece of this restaurant. We tried several dishes including appetizers & desserts & they were all excellent. We will be back the next time we visit Quebec City.
