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.

c'était la première que nous retournions Chez Boulay, pour le brunch, depuis la pandémie. Nous avions hâte d'y retourner car l'expérience gustative de notre dernière fois avait été exquise. Eh bien, nous n'avons pas été déçus. C'était tout aussi exquis. Merci d'investir dans la qualité de la nourriture que vous servez à votre clientèle.

Hi. We came from really far away & the onion soup did not have the cappuccino on top. So sad! Still very flavorful. Our order took 2 hours.
