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.

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

A very nice evening at Chez Boulay - dinner for two. Drink & food menus had very nice choices. Staff was very kind & helpful. Drinks & food were wonderful - most of our choices were our servers suggestions. The atmosphere had a welcoming tone, good energy, quiet enough to have good conversation.

This was the perfect first night dinner in Quebec city. We were staying down the street & after a long dive the quick walk was great. I can't say enough great things about the team & the food. I have celiacs disease & there were more choices, that did not need any modifications, than I generally have at most restaurants. The Halibut I had was one of the best preparations if fish I have had in a long time. Their wine list was interesting &, while not huge, had excellent variety & choices as well as being very fairly priced. I would definitely recommend & return!

Nous étions un groupe de 12 personnes & avons tous mangé comme des rois ! Le menu était franchement extraordinaire. Les ingrédients sont finement sélectionnés & sont conjugués pour donner lieu à des accords riches & décadents.
De plus, notre serveur était exceptionnel & attentioné.
Les prix suivent la qualité du repas ; ça vaut réellement la peine de se gâter pour une soirée inoubliable.

Genuine five-star review! We tried their lunch menu. Main Course, appetizers, & desserts are all fantastic. The seasonings are perfectly balanced, ingredients are fresh, & you can really taste the care put into cooking. The staff are attentive, & the space is clean & cozy. I've already recommended this place to everyone I know & will definitely come back again!
