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 un plaisir renouvelé de manger Chez Boulay. Le personnel est professionnel & gentil. Les plats sont exquis par leur utilisation du garde-manger boréal. Il faut y aller ou y retourner, surtout dans le contexte actuel.

Nous avons eu la chance de gouter en primeur au nouveau menu & c'était délicieux! La mousse de sapin avec les pétoncles était bluffante! Les pétoncles fondaient comme du beurre. Les assiettes etaient gourmandes & nous avons été très agréablement surpris par l'accord met/vin qui nous a été suggéré! On le recommande assurément!
