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.

Cuisine fusion tendance boréale très raffinée. Décor sympa mais un peu bruyant.

Awesome restaurant. Very friendly staff with excellent food quality. Personal favorite would be the beef cheek. The onion soup is special with the foam on top. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

The food & service were both excellent. We had the Cheese plate as an appetizer, the selection was excellent. The beef cheek was melt in your mouth, the flat iron steak was excellent & the Halibut was something else the flavours were amazing. We had the crème brûlée & the cheesecake both of which had their own twists & were exceptional. I'd give this 6 stars if I could.

We are visiting Quebec City & so looked forward to our experience at Chez Boulay as we are staying at the Hotel Manoir Victoria. I was treating my travel companion to dinner as a thank you for planning our trip. My pre-dinner gin & tonic was flat, but I opted to not give feedback or ask for a replacement. We asked for the wine list (twice), but the wine wasn't served until after our entrees. My friend ordered the braised beef cheek & I ordered the flat iron steak. The beef cheek was dry, tough & well below warm, & very difficult to cut with a steak knife. My flat iron steak was tough & cold, as was the sauce. We decided to let the server know & my friend was served a bowl of the garlic confit mashed potatoes as a replacement (something she had requested with her beef cheek but was told they couldn't accommodate substitutions), but it was appreciated. We said no thank you to dessert, but they gifted a dessert anyway which was kind.

The service was very slow overall, but after we gave feedback on the meals service completely disappeared. They did remove the beef cheek from from the bill. The wine & fries were the very best part of the meal. Based on previous reviews, I feel we went on a bad night, but unfortunately, we can't try again as we are returning home tomorrow.

Cocktails were great. I found the food to be underseasoned & just needed a bit more salt to make it great. The onion soup was really good though. It's a busy place so the service was brisk but professional
