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.

Bonne ambiance, excellente bouffe & service impeccable. On aurait apprécié un couteau à steak plus coupant pour le bison & un verre de Sauternes en fin de repas.

Excellent quality, professional service & unique menu make Bistro Boulay a must while in QC. The char carpaccio exceeded expectations with quality fish, enough acid to be interesting & well pickled veg to enhance. The beef cheek was delicious & reminiscent of long cooked beef short ribs. My wife's scallops were sweet & perfectly cooked. Our dessert of sea buckthorn pie was very tasty sort of like a mango/lemon combo. All in all great food that is unique but not strange.
