Chez Boulay - Bistro boréal

We went one night for dinner on a lark & it was so good that we came back the next day first thing for brunch.

It's an understatement to say the food here is extremely good. The onion soup in particular was amazing but everything was great.

Despite the extremely good food, it's not quite fine dining. There are paper napkins, the waiters have stories about the food but it's more relaxed. The portions are filling (especially the meat dishes).

It's hard to really explain why it was good without sounding like I'm being paid. Maybe the truest thing I can say was that mid-way though the 30 dollar price fix lunch I started to feel a pang of real guilt, like it was so cheaper we were stealing from them. Honestly in NYC this place would be 4 times the price & you still wouldn't be able to get a reservation.

Although it doesn't matter to me much in terms of rating I will say that the staff were nice, attentive & funny.

Despite this restaurant being for fine dining, I came in with low expectations because I usually struggle to find a meal that caters to my interests. I decided to give the pasta a chance & I was pleasantly surprised!

My favorite part of the dish was the baby corn that was spread around, I enjoyed coating it with the sauce before eating it. Even the sauce was wonderful on its own, it was very creamy & tasted a bit like cauliflower soup.

BEST french onion soup I've ever had anywhere! It was so delicious, decadent, creamy, tasty, all of the things. The cheese baguette was a perfect side with this dish. I ordered the beef cheek as an entree & it was good, but that french onion soup definately stole the show. The service was friendly but started off very slow. I waited awhile before anyone even came to take my drink order & people who were sat after me, had the opportunity to place their order first. I would return for the french onion soup if I am ever in QC again!

A must visit with their take on regional ingredients. The vibe was excellent & service was great. The French onion soup was the standout.

Chaque plat était savoureux, raffiné & parfaitement exécuté, offrant une véritable expérience gustative du début à la fin. La serveuse a su nous guider avec professionnalisme grâce à ses excellents conseils, contribuant grandement à la qualité de notre soirée.

Excellent meal. The onion soup may have been the best I've ever had. Beef cheeks were also excellent. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the meal.

Nous avons été très satisfaits du service. Le personnel était attentif, sympathique & précis. Nous avons apprécié de nous laisser guider par le serveur & n'avons pas été déçus.
La soupe à l'oignon était vraiment étonnante ! La joue de boeuf était tellement tendre & savoureuse, avec des parfums hors du commun. & la chaudrée de pétoncles était également très généreuse. Belle expérience, à répéter !

Awesome restaurant. Very friendly staff with excellent food quality. Personal favorite would be the beef cheek. The onion soup is special with the foam on top. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
