About us

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 had the Ceviche to start, Flat Iron Steak & Halibut for Main, & the Tarte for dessert.

The Ceviche was ok. The steak & Halibut were fantastic. The dressing & side everything was perfect.

The Tarte was good but not something I'd order again.

We were served by Fleurant & he made our experience even more enjoyable with his great service & sense of humor.

Would definitely go back.

Les plats sont savoureux mais vraiment un peu trop gras ou trop crémeux.

Great food, service, atmosphere & all around good vibes. If it wasn't our first trip to QC we would've eaten here twice but we chose to bounce around. All the food was great but the smoked fish dish is one that'll stick out to both my wife & I.

We had a price fixe lunch at Chez Boulay & enjoyed it so much that we went back for dinner. The lunch was outstanding-excellent presentation & inventive preparation. The dinner was equally good, if not better. Definitely the best food we had in Quebec City.

Très bon accueil. Bistro un rien bruyant mais c'est la rançon du succès car complet (il faut réserver). Cuisine bistronomique qui met en valeur les produits locaux. Mention pour l'entrée carpaccio d'omble & corégone 👌. Très bon rapport qualité prix (110 $ par personne cocktail-entrée-plat-vin-café).

Je suis allé plusieurs fois diner au Boulay. La cuisine a toujours été A1. Suite à cette belle expérience, j'ai invité mes 2 nièces au brunch du dimanche 19 juillet. Jai pris l'assiette végé avec sauce chèvre. Mes nièces ont commandé deux autres assiettes. À l'arrivée des assiettes, les yeux m'ont tourné à l'envers devant la richesse des leurs & la pauvreté de la mienne. Je me suis retrouvé devant une assiette à moitié vide avec quelques morceaux insignifiants de légumes dans une crème où il fallait avoir beaucoup d'imagination pour retrouver le goût de chèvre. Seules les bâtonnets étaient gouteux. Cette expérience a été franchement malheureuse pour moi qui ai payé une facture totale de 110 $.
