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.

Nous avons très, très, très bien mangé chez Boulay, en brunch, avec les enfants. Franchement, tout était excellent, rien à redire.

Le service est impeccable, attentionné sans être lourd. La bouffe est superbe, autant dans l'exécution que dans la qualité des produits. L'endroit est feutré, lumineux, avec de belles grandes fenêtres - une ambiance à la fois élégante & chaleureuse.

Nous avons mangé de la truite & du saumon fumé, tous deux vraiment exceptionnels. Autant le salé que le sucré étaient remarquables. Ma fille a pris une crêpe, & là aussi, c'était irréprochable.

Bref, super expérience du début à la fin. On y retourne sans hésiter.

Service un peu trop rapide. Les plats sont arrivées en quelques minutes & nous avions pas encore commandé notre bouteille de vin. & suites aux entrées les plats sont arrivés en quelques minutes. Nous aurions pu partir en 45 minutes entrés & plats complétés. Les plats sont bons en général.

An amazing meal! We had the flat iron steak & the beef cheek, both were incredible. Outstanding service, perfect amount of attention. A little bit loud, but I guess that's because it's busy because it's so good. Highly recommend!

Went for brunch & had the most delicious trout dish with a sunflower pesto. One of my favorite things I ate on my trip to QC. The meal came with coffee & bread. Service was delightful & the atmosphere was perfect for a nice relaxed brunch. Couldn't recommend it enough!
