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.

Mon plat à 55$ était coûteux pour une viande vieillie avec beaucoup de gras.
La sauce qui accompagnait le plat était trop salée.
Le potage était bon.
Mes invités ont trouvé leur plat correct.
Accueil & ambiance chaleureuse.

EXCEPTIONNEL!!! DE LA TRES HAUTE VOLTIGE DANS LES PAS DES PLUS GRANDES TABLES DES CAPITALES VISITEES EN 40 ANS!!

EXCELLENCE AU SERVICE, SOMMELLERIE, DECOR, AMBIANCE AU PERSONNEL DE A a Z SOURIANT, HEUREUX D'ÊTRE LÀ... & CONSCIENTS TOUS DU PRIVILÈGE MAIS AUSSI DE LEUR ROLE A JOUER.

LE MENU (Debut Aout 22, plein a craquer.. Ai mangé & bu au charmant Bar servi de façon professionnelle & pourtant décontractée par Vincent) est une courte (faire mieux avec peu) série de poèmes gastronomiques.
& en bouche, c'était du grand art. CRÉATIVITÉ, INVENTIVITÉ, USAGE DU TERROIR A PROFUSION & AVEC IMAGINATION, REFLEXIONS, MARIAGES INATTENDUS & POURTANT SPECTACULAIRES DAMOUR & DE FINESSE...

BREF, COUREZ Y!! JAI RÉPÈTE AU CHEF HIER SOIR EN QUELQUES COMPLIMENTS ENVOYES PAR LE PASSE PLAT... TOUT CA!!
SON SOURIRE RESPLENDISSANT VALAIT TOUT L'OR DU MONDE!!
SON NOM COUREZ Y & DEMANDEZ LUI APRÈS L'ORGASME...

Last night we had a delicious meal at Chez Boulay! A big thank you to Marie for a wonderful service! My husband very much enjoyed the Seared char with grilled mini leeks, elderberries & leek sauce vierge, caraway & vegetables glaze. While our daughter had the Spelt risotto, clos des roches cheese, garlic green pesto & herbs. For myself, the Chef was kind enough to accommodate my low sodium & prepared the Butcher's cut for me with sautéed barley with lion's mane mushroom & Pont Neuf fries. Definitely worth the try🥰
