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.

Déçue. Musique trop forte, atmosphère de taverne. J'ai bien mangé, sans plus. Le dessert de mon ami était quelconque. Je m'attendais à mieux. Désolée.

Les plats sont bien présentés & goûteux. Nos attentes quant à l'expérience culinaire sont rencontrées, cela dit on ne parle pas ici de gastronomie mais de cuisine bistrot évolutive bien exécutée. L'ambiance est aussi celle d'un bistrot, pour ma part je suis d'avis que les tables devraient être recouvertes d'une nappe (qu'elle soit de papier ça passerait encore) & bien que le service soit amical on se sent quelque peu brusqué par la cadence & le va & vient incessant dans une salle un peu trop bourdonnante à mon goût.

Nous y sommes allés pour le brunch. Excellent service! Belle présentation des plats. Avons choisi "La ferme" . Tout était savoureux & bien aprêté. Pour les brunchs du week-end, Chez Boulay, sûrement en tête de liste.
