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.

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée chez Boulay, la cuisson de la viande & du poisson était parfaite & les plats goûteux. Malheureusement le restaurant faisait salle comble ce qui laissait peu de distance entre les tables, malgré le respect de toutes les mesures sanitaires gouvernementales il y avait beaucoup de monde au pied carré en cette période d'explosion du nombre de nouveau cas de COVID-19.

Excellent service. Cependant la musique trop forte dans un environnement déjà très bruyant rend l'expérience beaucoup moins agréable.

Une très belle expérience chez Boulay bistro boréal. Nourriture innovatrice & très savoureuse, ambiance chaleureuse & excellent service. Le seul point négatif : les mets sont très salés...trop salés.
