There is now a video on the fire page. Thirty-six seconds, with no music and no voice: the maple being loaded, the embers settling, the cut taking its crust, the slice. Shot in the kitchen, during service, with our own footage. On a phone, a vertical fifty-seven-second version plays instead. The same day, the summer 2026 menu became downloadable as a PDF from the menu page, for those who like to read a menu before booking — or print it.
Read the page →The two second-floor rooms — up to 36 guests, in an L, joined by French doors, with the piano — used to be requested by phone or by email. There is now a form on the private dining page: your preferred date, the number of guests, and we reply within 48 hours. The phone is still the fastest. The booking platform, for its part, books tables, not rooms — and it knows nothing about your date, your speech or your allergies. That is why a group goes through us.

Two ways of handing the evening to the kitchen: Le Signature, five courses, $110 per person; Le Convivial, one large cut set down in the middle of the table, $230 for two. And on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the all-you-can-eat bavette at $60 — same cut, same grill, same maple embers: we simply keep bringing more. It’s the simplest way to get to know the house.

La Tribune counts it among the five Eastern Townships tables carried over, and Granby enters the Guide twice: Maison Boire stays, and Pavane, on rue Principale, makes its entry. Two years in a row rewards the part of the work nobody in the dining room can see: consistency. The same fire, the same standard, four nights a week, whether the room is full or not. The two plaques are on the porch; the rest is at the table.
Read the page →In 2025, the MICHELIN Guide publishes its first Québec edition and includes Maison Boire in its inaugural selection, alongside the major tables of Montréal and Québec City, and among a handful of regional addresses. The plaque was presented on the porch of 13, rue Court. For a house opened in Granby in 2017, in a city of 65,000 an hour from Montréal, the selection confirms one thing: geography is not a ceiling. An award can be read; a table has to be verified.

Her works — ethereal photographic tableaux, in long exposure, where the body becomes light — turn the walls of the house into a gallery; she presented her first solo exhibition here, over three floors. Since then, the walls change with the seasons, like the menu. In published reviews, guests name her, with Brian: this is a house where you know the people who receive you.

Two days later, La Presse runs the headline “Maison Boire : 100 % local… sauf le café” — 100% local, except the coffee. The line is Brian Proulx’s: “Only the coffee isn’t local.” Today, seventeen houses feed Maison Boire; sixteen are within 120 km, and the median distance is 38 km. The exception is Sel du Saint-Laurent, 468 km away.

LEAF Level 3 certification had come the previous summer, two years after opening. What the house measures: origin, season, residue, energy, material. The gardens are behind, the greenhouse at the back, the workshop upstairs; by appointment, at the start of service, we give tours. Brian told HRImag at the time: “Change is slow to put in place.”

LEAF Level 3 certification comes in summer 2019; the Prix excellence tourisme, on November 14, 2019, is the first award the house received. Everything is dated and sourced on the awards page.
