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.

We had one of our best meals ever at Chez Boulay-bistro boreal. We all tried something different & loved, loved our food. The beef cheeks would not be a item I'd normally order, nor would be veal & oyster carpaccio. I was not disappointed. One member of our party had onion soup cappuccino style, it was fabulous. Our server, Maureen was amazing, friendly, helpful & fun to chat with. We highly recommend this restaurant.
