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.

Un peu déçu du souper, beau resto, belle ambiance mais vraiment moyen la nourriture. Le pain servi a table est sec, soupe a l'oignon délicieuse. Entrée de pâte avec encore le pain grillé trop sec. Le repas de pétoncle est bon mais les flancs de porc sont 80% du gras. Frites a cotées bonne mais molle (des frites cela doit être croustillant). La joue était superbe mais le genre de pesto moutarde était vraiment super amer & désagréable. Les desserts (tarte argousier) bonne mais trop sucrée & le chou carrément pas bon, pas frais, on aurait di que cela fait 3 jours qu'il était fait & franchement beaucoup mais beaucoup trop sucré. Donc dans l'ensemble, décevant pour le prix.

Delicious, inventive food & cocktails. Charming, friendly service (they were kind to let me practice my French!). An excellent value for the money.

Après avoir passé d'excellentes vacances dans Charlevoix, nous avons couronné le tout avec un dîner mémorable chez Boulay. L'ambiance était magnifique, mais le repas l'était encore plus.
La soupe à l'oignon, dont j'avais tant entendu parler, a largement été à la hauteur de sa réputation. Le sébaste était une excellente option pour les pescetariens. Ma compagne a savouré chacune des bouchées de son repas. Enfin, les desserts étaient généreux & parfaits pour partager.

Accueil, Cuisine & Service première classe du début à la fin. Le service est très bien informé du menu, des vins & des Gin's Québécois. Nous voulions manger & boire que du local car nous sommes Suisse. Un plus grand choix de vins Canadiens au verre serait la bienvenue. La composition & assemblage des menus avec les herbes boréales étaient une très belle découverte. Félicitations & Merci à toute l'équipe, bonne continuation!!

Ordered Braised Beef Cheeks, & Scallops with Pork Belly Confit. Both were superbly prepared, presented, tender & flavourful. Had main courses only so cannot include review of Apps, salads, cocktails or desserts. We wish dense bread was served warm with olive oil & balsamic.
