On the restaurant side, Le Sapristi ! features dishes that highlight local ingredients. On the bar side, they offer an extensive cocktail menu: a dozen classics and several concoctions served in mason jars. The beautiful terrace – open in the summer – is worth a visit!
Cocktails with a boreal (northern) inspiration - we like that! Chez Boulay does not spread itself too thin by offering too many cocktails; rather, the focus is on a sharp selection of cocktails that showcase Quebec rum and maple whiskey. The menu, featuring dishes made entirely with local ingredients, is worth mentioning.
