I had my first traditional Québec meal here, & it turned out to be one of the highlights of my day in Québec City.

The food was memorable & gave me a great introduction to local cuisine. Everything felt welcoming, & the service was excellent. The middle-aged gentleman who served me was especially kind, attentive, & patient throughout the meal.

As a visitor, first impressions matter, & this restaurant made my first Québec dining experience a very happy one. Thank you for the warm hospitality.
I would gladly recommend this place to anyone visiting Québec City.

Aller déjeuner chez Boulay est un voyage.
Le service ainsi que les plats sont merveilleux.
Les accords des saveurs & des textures sont toujours très harmonieux.
Si vous n'avez pas encore découvert ce trésor de Québec, il est urgent d'y remédier.

Cuisine fusion tendance boréale très raffinée. Décor sympa mais un peu bruyant.

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.

The food & service were both excellent. We had the Cheese plate as an appetizer, the selection was excellent. The beef cheek was melt in your mouth, the flat iron steak was excellent & the Halibut was something else the flavours were amazing. We had the crème brûlée & the cheesecake both of which had their own twists & were exceptional. I'd give this 6 stars if I could.

We are visiting Quebec City & so looked forward to our experience at Chez Boulay as we are staying at the Hotel Manoir Victoria. I was treating my travel companion to dinner as a thank you for planning our trip. My pre-dinner gin & tonic was flat, but I opted to not give feedback or ask for a replacement. We asked for the wine list (twice), but the wine wasn't served until after our entrees. My friend ordered the braised beef cheek & I ordered the flat iron steak. The beef cheek was dry, tough & well below warm, & very difficult to cut with a steak knife. My flat iron steak was tough & cold, as was the sauce. We decided to let the server know & my friend was served a bowl of the garlic confit mashed potatoes as a replacement (something she had requested with her beef cheek but was told they couldn't accommodate substitutions), but it was appreciated. We said no thank you to dessert, but they gifted a dessert anyway which was kind.

The service was very slow overall, but after we gave feedback on the meals service completely disappeared. They did remove the beef cheek from from the bill. The wine & fries were the very best part of the meal. Based on previous reviews, I feel we went on a bad night, but unfortunately, we can't try again as we are returning home tomorrow.
