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.

Toujours épique comme expérience ! La joue de boeuf, un incontournable! Saveur, service, expérience culinaire... tout est 5 étoiles. Chez nous, lorsque l'on désire se gâter ou que nous avons quelque chose à fêter, c'est désormais chez Boulay que nous allons!

Une valeur sure à Québec. Que ce soit pour le service ou la qualité des produits & assiettes. Des plats avec une grande note locale. L'originalité des plat, la présentation, les saveurs, la qualité des produits sont au rendez vous. Le menu est régulièrement mis à jour au cours des saisons. A refaire & à conseiller sans hésitation.

In a prime location in old Quebec City, Chez Boulay lived up to the reviews. We sat at the Bar & were served & engaged by Alex who guided us through our culinary journey. The scallop ceviche & Veal tartare to start they were perfect in taste form & texture. The cheek of the evening was beef & was it amazing. Served on sweet potatoes & a caramelized onion, this melt in your mouth creation was perfect. Thanks again to Alex for adding to our already wonderful evening.
