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.

J'ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience chez Boulay-Bistro. J'ai apprécié le fait qu'il n'y avait pas de musique assourdissante, mais plutôt un fond musical très discret, on l'entendait à peine. J'ai pris l'apéro La Pas Fine, qui était très très bon, mais un peu cher (17 $). Le potage de carottes était parfait. Pour ce qui est de l'assiette de caille au chou, c'était très réussi dans l'ensemble, mais je ne suis pas d'accord avec l'idée d'enrober les cuisses de caille de chapelure panko. Il y aurait sûrement quelque chose de mieux à faire avec les cuisses, quelque chose de plus fin. Alors, je donne une note de 9 sur 10 pour mon repas (le bémol étant attribuable à la chapelure panko). Nos portions étaient tout à fait suffisantes, mais j'ai vu passer quelques assiettes, notamment une assiette de fruits de mer, qui me semblaient plutôt chichement garnies. Je recommande tout de même le Boulay-Bistro & j'y retournerais certainement.
