Chez Boulay - comptoir boréal

Great gourmet products and price. I just had what probably was my best ham and cheese qische ever. Croissants are outstanding! Just wish the round tables were a little larger. Populated, modern, good music, chill place. Memorable breakfast.

Awesome cafe experience.We ordered an Americano and a latte with some pastries.The coffees were very good. Flavorful.The pastries were perfect. Great texture and sweetness. Stuffed croissant was fantastic as well. Perfectly crispy on the outside!Would highly recommend.

Swoon-worthy pastries and prepared foods make this upscale takeaway spot the #1 foodie destination for me in QC. I come here every day they’re open (four days, Thursday through Sunday).Food in touristy cities is often mediocre quality and not worth the calories. (I know this, coming from Washington, D.C.!) But here, at Chez Boulay Comptoir Boréal, the pastries, sandwiches and savory tarts are worth it. In addition to the croissants and tarts (these are multi-layered, partly crunchy - try the chocolate with raspberries- OMG), also try things like the tourtière (meat pie), lobster and shrimp sandwiches, mushroom slices – honestly, everything is just superb.Because I’m living in QC for the summer, I take the food home and eat it there – or prepare some of the frozen foods for visiting friends (e.g., the bolognese - OMG - with spaghetti I prepare, or the carrot soup). If I lived in QC year-round, I would be buying their frozen items daily. Seriously.And I love it that each day there are different foods because this place, like its famous restaurant sibling (Chez Boulay, around the corner), is all about seasonal/native foods – which I love.Finally, you can get alcohol here, too - local beers and cider, mostly. Bonus!

The forêt boréale and muffin I got from Chez Boulay were both delicious! Also enjoyed the croissant chômeur (which travelled surprisingly well).

Cappuccino is great. The chocolate croissants are amazing and probably one of the best I ever had. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal service and quality. Quiches are great. Desserts are great. Coffees are great.No complaints! If you have a sweet tooth, you must try the “Surprise” Chocolate dessert. It was perfect!

very delicious n reasonable price. but there are not many table in the shop. grab your favourites drink and food. look for out door somewhere in the sun.

Outstanding food! I had the raw scallops to start which were not only fresh and delicious but a much bigger portion than any scallop starter at a fine dining restaurant (and I've had a few). My main was the arctic char with wild rice which was also very good, and was tasty whilst also seeming reasonably healthy! I also had a very nice glass of local Quebecois sparkling wine. The service was very friendly.

what a wonderful little counter pastry place. food was great here. and the decorations just beautiful.only thing about this place is if someone opens the doors and its -10 c outside, omg the cold is just hits you even if we were sitting at the furthest seats.please do something about that cold draft!loved the pork belly and the salad.

If you couldn’t get into Chez Boulay, or needed a quick bite and coffee break, this is a great place to drop by. Service is friendly and quick, and the food was delicious. If you’re eating in, grab a seat and they’ll bring you the food (so do leave them a tip).Now this is really just a comptoir, so don’t expect a vast menu or great many seating area. A lot of people come and grab food to go. But for the things they do have, you can taste the quality of flavour and texture.I took a salmon feuilleté and I could have gone for a lot more because everything looked so good.
