Visitors frequently highlight the convenience of the take-out environment, which offers a variety of gourmet prepared meals, pantry staples, and artisanal gifts that showcase the best of Quebec products.

5.0

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!

Exceptional high quality items to choose from including baked & pastry items. Convenient capaccino/coffee machine allows you to choose your beverage of choice & choose the ingredient options yourself. Always a friendly greeting & customer service.

4.0

Chez Boulay, the celebrated bistro in Old Quebec, was opened by renowned chefs Jean-Luc Boulay & Arnaud Marchand, known for their creative approach to boreal cuisine. The menu offers a delightful exploration of local products & traditional French techniques, with a particular focus on game meats & regional ingredients. Our dinner featured hearty dishes like duck breast & grilled meats, alongside more unique offerings such as bison & a delectable sea buckthorn tartlet for dessert. The atmosphere is welcoming, enhanced by attentive & enthusiastic service. Our waiter's charm & animated interactions added a touch of humor to the experience. With its excellent quality-to-price ratio, Chez Boulay stands out as a must-visit for those eager to taste the flavors of Quebec's terroir.
