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.

What a marvellous dinner. Delicious food, attentive service, good humoured staff who were willing to speak English to one diner & French to the other. Thanks for a memorable evening!

Our second visit to Chez Boulay, & once again they didn't disappoint. We were a party of 3 & everything we ordered from pre-dinner cocktails, to appetizers, wine & entrée were outstanding. Our server was a delight. Friendly, efficient & knowledgeable. This is now a destination for us whenever we are in Quebec City.

Food, atmosphere & service was excellent for a Friday dinner. Locally sourced ingredients & unique dishes. Boulay was recommended by our hotel staff as a local favourite & many diners appeared to be local. Reservation process was easy- comparable prices to other high quality restaurants in the area- highly recommended
