We stopped at Chez Boulay as part of a food tour in Québec City, & the fresh croissant was absolutely incredible-perfectly flaky, buttery, & fresh. It was truly the most delicious croissant I've ever tasted in my life!

I also loved their selection of high-quality prepared foods to take home. They offer frozen, vacuum-sealed meals & ingredients prepared by a chef, including things like carrot soup, lasagna, & delicious sauces. Everything looked wonderful & incredibly convenient.

If I lived in Québec City, this would absolutely be one of my regular stops for high-quality, easy-to-prepare meals & ingredients. A fantastic find & definitely worth a visit!

Having eaten at Chez Boulay the previous night , I was delighted to find out that they have a bakery Chez Boulay Comptoir Boreal .

This is a small bakery meets mini market store that sells baked goods, desserts & pastries (some of which are gluten free) & frozen items . Many products to go through & purchase .

However I was here for the breakfast pastries . The display case was full of treats such as muffins , fruit brioche , swirled praline filled pastry , pinwheel croissants with cranberries , croissants filled with praline & many more .

I got the croissant roll swirl pinwheel topped with sweet cranberries & a local spice called melilot (which essentially is a version of clover ). Unbelievable flavor . The quality of the butter mixed with the cranberry & the sweet almost honey flavored clover of the melilot was incredible.

I also purchased their version of of stuffed croissant with caramelized praline topped with pumpkin seeds . The croissant was flaky on the outside & moist delicious praline on the inside . A real treat & something different from the classic almond stuffed croissant .

Both were truly memorable & outstanding quality products .

My only disappointment & observation was that for a high quality & higher end produce store they did not have a barista or make their own coffee , instead it is a self service coffee machine .

Other than this observation, the bakery store is amazing
