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 thoroughly enjoyed dinner at Boulay. The waiter was very attentive & very helpful in steering us to try a couple of new things like the trout carpaccio & the bison steaks vs the safer choices we were considering. We loved everything & the restaurant while full on a Saturday night did not feel overly loud or rushed

Bien aimé, beaucoup de monde & mon plat médiocre. Le brunch copieux que j'ai pris n'étais pas à mon goût...la viande trop cuite, le jaune d'oeuf ne coulait pas...je crois que la qualité a baissé..
Trop de monde à servir, baisse la qualité de la nourriture & du service. Ayant été avant & était meilleur! Il y a qq années de cela & avant Covide!!!

Delicious food & great service / just a little on the loud/noisy side

This is an excellent restaurant, with many fine qualities: food, service, presentation, efficiency. A larger restaurant then some, it balances its scale, busyness, & impersonality with a high quality of regional ingredients.
