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.

À chaque fois que j'y vais tout est excellent. Dans un magnifique décor, on est accueillis avec le sourire. Les serveurs sont attentifs à nos allergies alimentaires. Finalement, & non le moindre, les plats servis sont excellents, les portions sont généreuses & la présentation est attrayantes. Un endroit à découvrir sans hésitation.

Excellent service! The waiter introduced himself & asked where we were from. He was very friendly & helpful. The entire staff was well-trained. The food was excellent-great flavor & a wide variety. The onion soup is the best I've ever had. The portions are decent, & the price is reasonable. It's a very pleasant place.

The flavor was bland, & it didn't feel like thought was put into the dishes. Major letdown.

My husband & I enjoyed both a lunch & a dinner at Chez Boulay during our stay in Quebec City. The food & friendly service combined to make both meals memorable. It's the type of restaurant that after the meal we chatted with the table beside us & everyone had a great experience. The food is creative with a Québécois flair but not heavy. Merci beaucoup.

The best French onion soup of my life! The service was wonderful - even though we didn't have a reservation, they seated us at a lovely spot. The food, wine & atmosphere were all so enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience & would absolutely recommend this restaurant!

Really chic restaurant offering delicious food. Service was excellent but suffered near the end as it took a while to pay.

Had the pork belly & scallop cevice as appetizers, the lamb & chicken for mains, & the seabuckthorne meringue tart & panna cotta for dessert. All were pretty great 👍
