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.

I had a nice meal here on New Year's Day with my family. Everything was very good, but the scallop & sea bass entrees & seabuck thorn meringue were exceptional. The local ingredients & nordic flair set the restaurant apart from others. Cocktails & mocktails were very tasty. Unfortunately, our waiter was not informative or friendly. Quite aloof actually. But we will definitely come back the next time we are in Quebec.

Chez Boulay is a nice option for dining. The pate en croute & carpaccio of char were really good appetizers. My friend was very happy with the onion soup he had. Beef cheek & scallops for the main - très délicieux. However, duck breast & pan seared fois gras - something I would not order again, hence 4 stars. Overall good experience & nice atmosphere.
