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.

Bonne bouffe, bon service. J'ai adoré les petits macarons que portaient les employés avec leur photo ! Une belle petite attention humanisante en ces temps de covid ! Belle initiative!

We had a very nice dinner at Boulay. Our waiter was amazingly pleasant & efficient, Florent was is name!

The food was delicious & prepared with a lot of attention.
The only draw back was no replacement possible for a salad instead of fries. They did not have lettuce at all.
So if you have a health condition, like diabetes, no switch for lettuce 🤗 You just have to be willing enough to look at them in your plate & not eat them or ask them to omit the fries. 🤗
