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.

Une des meilleurs adresses du vieux Québec.

Food was very good on a typical very busy evening. Two things put us "off" - the speaker right over our table made the sound system in the dining room almost sound like competing music - a bad echo. Very distracting.

The second & more alarming was that our waiter charged us for two additional glasses of wine (we had ordered a bottle) & apparently did something similar to the table next to us. Left a bad impression, unfortunately.

Boulay est le resto qui nous a fait découvrir la cuisine gastronomique. Ça faisait longtemps qu'on y était pas retourné, & on a été impressionné comme à la première fois!

J'adore ce restaurant mais je n'ai pas donné 5 étoiles car il y a eu juste une petite chose qui m'a dérangé lors de cette soirée.... le fait d'avoir reçu notre repas même 10 minutes après que nous avions passé notre commande... je me suis senti un peu poussé mais bon.... que dire de la joue de boeuf toujours aussi délectable & pour le vin j'ai choisi un vin rouge, au verre, provenant du Québec & quelle agréable surprise que j'en ai commandé un 2e.

Service exceptionnel de Francis, attentionné & efficace. Repas qui nous fait rêver & qui stimule les papilles gustatives pas la complexité des saveurs. Tout bonnement délicieux!
