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.

Great experience. The food was exceptional & service was top notch. I have eaten at many restaurants considered to be some of the best in Canada, & the dining experience we had at Chez Boulay ranks among the top. The boreal theme was well executed in both the atmosphere & taste, & the Nordic flavors paired well with the tastes of Canada's North. I will definitely return when i find myself back in Quebec City!

Comme à l'habitude, ce fut un souper gastronomique « parfait ». L'accord des vins établi par la sommelière Marie-Andrée était également excellent. Seule ombre « à l'ardoise... », nous étions à une table à l'entrée de la salle à manger, donc passante... Ce n'est pas un endroit pour mettre une table pour un repas gastronomique de ce prix. On l'a mentionné dès le départ & le personnel de service a « tenté » de minimiser l'impact tout au long du repas.
