About us

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.

Amazing meal from start to finish. Drinks were bespoke & the quality & taste of each dish was amazing. Atmosphere is fun & inviting. Definitely a must do while in Quebec.

I had the poultry & my partner had the duck. She had the festive drink which was a mint/eggnog liqueur.

+The waiter was incredibly friendly, he was quite attentive & understanding. I have quite a few allergies, & he worked closely with the chef to ensure that these were addressed.
+The chicken was about as well of a cooked chicken as you could have asked for
+My partner's duck was quite well seasoned. I have never had duck before so comparing it to anything else is difficult, but it was more uniquely seasoned than my chicken. notably, my allergies might've contributed to this for my dish.
-My partner & I shared dishes, & I was most looking forward to the mushrooms in her duck dish. I believe they underwhelming.
-Good grief, is this place touristy. This wasn't my choice, but if you are looking for something genuine, this might not be your answer. If you are looking for something easy & agreeable, well, English is very easy to get by here. I think the only French speaking individuals were the employees. Obviously I am a tourist & not unaware of this, but this place isn't the most genuine/local patronaged. Should you be surprised?

Fantastic dinner last at Chez Boulay-bistro. Our reservation allowed us to arrive early & get seated. Server was fantastic. Wine list was excellent (although expensive). Enjoyed wonderful conversation with our neighboring table & we shared what each other was eating (Duck-Excellent, Beef Cheek - Fantastic, Beef Steak - Delicious, Seal - yes, Seal - Amazing.).

Chez Boulay was our first meal in Québec City & it did not disappoint! Conveniently located right inside our hotel, Manoir Victoria, it made for an easy & memorable start to our trip.
Chez Boulay - Bistro Boréal offers a unique taste of northern Québec, with creative dishes that still feel comforting & approachable. It's a great spot if you want something flavorful, local, & a little different.
The service is attentive & knowledgeable, & a big highlight for our family was the amazing kids' plate-delicious, generous, & genuinely loved by our kids.
Overall, a must-visit for anyone staying nearby or looking to explore Québec's boreal flavors in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
