In my opinion, Chez Boulay – Bistro Boréal is one of the best places in Quebec City. The food was absolutely incredible — the salmon, the steak, the greens, and even the dessert were unbelievably delicious. The service was wonderful, and the restaurant itself feels very cozy and atmospheric. They are listed as Michelin Select in the Michelin Guide, but honestly, in my opinion, they deserve much more. ✨🍽️

The food was fine, nothing bad but not really impressive either. For around 70 per person, it doesn’t feel that worth it. The desserts, though, were excellent — definitely recommend trying those!

Great food. Basically French cuisine with a strong local Quebecois influence and some Nordic finesse. I really enjoyed it. The only downside after three delicious courses was that I was so full that all the blood in my body went into my stomach and I almost froze to death on the walk home to my hotel. 😉

Had an amazing dinner Sunday afternoon, excellent suggestion by my server with the beef cheeks. Tender, flavorful and did not break the bank. This is on my top list of favorite restaurants in Quebec. Thank You!

The server explained dishes, discussed wine and checked in with surrounding tables, but repeatedly skipped my table. I ended up feeling rushed and excluded. Other staff were kind later, so this seems to be an individual service issue rather than the whole team — however, it unfortunately overshadowed an otherwise lovely day I spent in Québec City.

Cuisine borealis is the claim. Not Nordic, not Canadian, more of a fusion French. Quality of the ingredients were superb. Arctic char, foie, beef cheeks, duck breast and seared full foie were all exceptional. The food leans salty, and could have so much more depth if the salt was scaled back. Please enjoy your food with a healthy glass of water and beer of choice.

I was pretty impressed with this place. Food was very good quality and super local. You could tell the chef was very intentional about combing flavors. Everything we ordered was tasty. Place was a bit loud but it was certainly one of the better restaurants we experienced during our stay.

An amazing meal! We had the flat iron steak and the beef cheek, both were incredible. Outstanding service, perfect amount of attention. A little bit loud, but I guess that’s because it’s busy because it’s so good. Highly recommend!

Went for brunch and had the most delicious trout dish with a sunflower pesto. One of my favorite things I ate on my trip to QC. The meal came with coffee and bread. Service was delightful and the atmosphere was perfect for a nice relaxed brunch. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
