What a selection is — and what it is not
The MICHELIN Guide distinguishes four separate things that are routinely confused. Here they are, and here is where we stand.
The selection
Every restaurant the inspectors consider worth recommending. It is the Guide's front door, and the door is narrow: the Québec selection holds only a handful of restaurants outside Montréal and Québec City.
That is where we are, since 2025, and the Guide kept us there in 2026.
The stars
One, two or three. They are awarded inside the selection, to a minority of restaurants, and they are reassessed every year.
Maison Boire does not hold one.
The Bib Gourmand
Also awarded inside the selection, for particularly good value.
Maison Boire does not hold one.
The Green Star
It recognizes a practice of sustainable gastronomy. Two Eastern Townships tables hold one; they are our neighbours, and we are glad for them.
Maison Boire does not hold one. This is in fact the most common confusion about us, because the house has been LEAF level 3 certified since 2019 and placed first in the Canadian ranking of the greenest restaurant in 2020. Both distinctions are real and both matter to us — and neither comes from the MICHELIN Guide.
Why we always word it the same way
We would rather say this ourselves than let the ambiguity do its work for us.
A house that inflates its distinctions damages the ones it holds. We are in the Guide, two years running, in a region that has almost no one in it. That is plenty.
The exact wording, everywhere we write — this page, our menus, anything we send to a newsroom, every directory listing — is "MICHELIN Guide selection". If you read anywhere that Maison Boire is a "Michelin-starred restaurant", that is a mistake. If you find it on a page that belongs to us, write to us and we will fix it.
The first Québec edition
The MICHELIN Guide published its first-ever Québec edition in 2025. Until then, no inspector had covered the province systematically.
Maison Boire appears in that inaugural selection, alongside the major tables of Montréal and Québec City, and among a handful of addresses outside the two cities.
The plaque was presented on the porch of 13, rue Court.
For a house that opened in Granby in 2017 — a town of 65,000, an hour from Montréal — the selection confirms something simple: geography is not a ceiling.
Kept in the selection
In May 2026, at the second Québec edition, Maison Boire kept its place.
La Tribune counted it among the five Eastern Townships tables retained, with Vin Polisson in Sherbrooke, Espace Old Mill in Stanbridge East, and Hatley and the Tap Room at Manoir Hovey in North Hatley.
Granby then entered the Guide twice over: Maison Boire stayed, and Pavane, on rue Principale, came in. Two selected tables in a town this size is unusual — and it is good for the town before it is good for us.
A second year 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.
What the inspectors noted
The Guide's listing describes a cube-shaped house clad in coffee-coloured wood with white detailing; a terrace; a kitchen garden and herbs on the roof. Inside: a careful bar, a glassed-in wine cellar, black tables, an open kitchen with a chef's counter.
And this line, on the cooking: it is done "mostly over an open flame", and it brings out the best in the vegetables, fish and meat, chosen with care by the chef.
That is exactly what we set out to do. Everything else — the gardens, the greenhouse, the hives, the pottery studio, the seventeen suppliers mapped with their distance — comes from the same intention.

And that 2019 headline about a "starred" chef?
In November 2019, a Granby newspaper ran a headline saying that a "Michelin-starred" chef was working in the Maison Boire kitchen. The article was accurate — and it was not about the restaurant.
It was about chef Clément Feuz, who had arrived from Europe that year with his family to join the house. He had been a starred chef over there, before coming. A star belongs to the restaurant where it is awarded, not to the cook who moves on: that one stayed in Europe.
Maison Boire has never held a MICHELIN star. It has been in the selection since 2025.
We spell this out because the 2019 article is still online, it still surfaces in search results next to our name, and we would rather explain it than let someone be wrong in our favour.
The other distinctions
Six recognitions since 2019, two of them from the Guide. The other four do not come from MICHELIN.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maison Boire a Michelin-starred restaurant?
No. Maison Boire is part of the MICHELIN Guide selection, in 2025 and 2026, without a star. The Guide distinguishes four things: the selection, the stars, the Bib Gourmand and the Green Star. We are in the selection, and we never word it any other way.
How long has Maison Boire been in the MICHELIN Guide?
Since 2025, the year of the Guide's first Québec edition. The house was kept in the selection in 2026.
What is the difference between being "selected" and being "starred"?
The selection gathers every restaurant the inspectors consider worth recommending: it is the Guide's front door. Stars are awarded within that selection, to a minority of houses. Being in the selection is real recognition; it is not a star, and we do not present it as one.
Does Maison Boire hold a MICHELIN Green Star?
No. The house has been LEAF level 3 certified since 2019 and placed first in the Canadian greenest-restaurant ranking in 2020, but both distinctions come from LEAF, not from the MICHELIN Guide.
How much does a meal cost at Maison Boire?
Main courses run from $45 to $190 depending on the cut. Two tasting menus: Le Signature, $110 per person, and Le Convivial, $230 for two. Nothing requires the whole table to order the same thing. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the all-you-can-eat bavette — bavette (flank steak) and sides, as much as you like — is $60 per person.
