We had a wonderful lunch at Chez Boulay during our visit to Quebec City. We made reservations in advance and were pleasantly surprised by the incredible value of their $30 prix fixe lunch menu. For the quality of food and overall experience, it felt like an amazing deal. This was also my first time trying Nordic Québécois cuisine, which made the experience even more memorable. The flavour combinations and ingredients felt very unique, refined, and thoughtfully curated. I was genuinely impressed. The flavours throughout the meal were vibrant, fresh, and showcased high quality ingredients. Our favourite dishes were the bruschetta and the beetroot salad, both of which tasted incredibly fresh and full of flavour. The fish dish was also excellent and surprisingly hearty and comforting. We upgraded to the tiramisu for an additional $6. While it was enjoyable, it did not quite reach the same level as the other dishes we had during the meal. Our server was also fantastic, very friendly, funny, and provided excellent customer service throughout the lunch. I can absolutely see why this restaurant made it onto the Michelin Guide. We are already looking forward to returning to Quebec City in the future to try their dinner service, which they are especially known for, as well as their sister restaurant Les Botanistes near the airport.
