    Caesar salad
    Heather T.

    One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. And it was only surpassed by the service. I wish we lived closer and could come all the time!!

    Caesar salad

    I loved this place. It felt like a dinner my grandparents would have told me about. The wood paneled walls and sconces make it feel fancy. The service was friendly. They prepared the Caesar salad and steak table side, so fun. My scallops were delicious. The potatoes and spinach were great. Our big disappointment, was we are towards the end of our trip,and we're all too full for crepes Suzette, we will definitely get them next time. Treat yourself to a great experience at Le Continental.

    Since Quebec City is home to 39 Michelin restaurants, we decided to try a couple. Although other places were pretty good, we were not as thoroughly impressed until we had our dinner at Le Continental!! From the food to the service, everything was exceptional! This French restaurant was established 67 years ago and the staff told us that nothing on the recipe has been changed! They take pride in bringing the kitchen to the table and cooking at the table for us!! Every single server was so good at not only serving, but also making the food, and providing extraordinary customer service at the same time! They are happy to be there and happy to do whatever it takes to make sure you have a good time!! A rare experience in our dining history across the globe! Even the host and the staff at the front made us feel so welcomed the minute we walked into the restaurant (unlike the other Michelin restaurant did not bother talking to me nor checking my rsvp when I showed up 15 mins early for my rsvp). They checked our coat and really took care of us! It is all about the little things! We had the orange duck for 2. They brought the entire duck to our table, ripped up the bone and cooked in Orange sauce at the table. I don't typically eat duck unless I am in a very good French restaurant, and this was an amazing meal! We also had escargot. I love the shell still stay intact! Even in France now, many restaurants would take the shell off which feel more commercialized on a traditional French dish and of course, I saw most places in Quebec City do that, except this place!

    Amazing service. Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. We were pleasantly impressed with the synchronized service and the pleasant demeanor of the staff. This is a five star restaurant with the feeling of a family restaurant. Absolutely fantastic restaurant and delicious food

    Scallops

    I had high hopes for this place. As a solo diner I was so excited when they said they could accommodate the table side Caesar for 1! Nicolas did a great job chatting and showing his process. The service was impeccable, I feel it was above and beyond. It was the food. At the end of his process making the dressing, I thought I was in for the best Caesar of my life and the Nicolas dumped about a half cup of bacon and unfortunately, that over powered all the other flavors. I also would have preferred more of the Romain heart and less of the green leaves but that might just be me. Next, I had the Escargot, which I always order if on a menu and they were nicely done (but being made of garlic and butter, they are rarely bad) . My one complaint would be that there wasn't much sauce. I love to sop up whatever is left with bread at the end. Then I had the scallops and at $63, the portion was nice. I wish they had explained the one scallop that was different than the other 3 in its shell and the reason for it. It was plated well and topped with caviar but they were SO salty, that they were inedible. I didn't say anything because the staff was so friendly and I didn't want to cause a stir. I was full at the point that I chalked it to a loss. Very expensive meal at $200/1 person including wine. But the staff was great. I wish it was better tasting.

    Dover sole
    Richard J.

    Glad I had to chance to try this place thanks to seeing it on Parts Unknown. Great service, atmosphere, and great food. Ordered the escargot and Dover sole meunière. Both seasoned perfectly, simple, and flavorful. The side of rice, braised carrots, and asparagus were a nice touch as well

    Cherries jubilee
    Sally K.

    Excellent service and food! The scallop dish was 11/10, it was cooked perfectly and everything about this dish was perfect! I will forever think about this dish. Even though I dined alone, my server still made me a cherries jubilee! As a very big cherries jubilee fan, this was so exciting and it tasted amazing. My experience was very positive here. If you want an elevated dinner with excellent service with incredible bites, make sure to stop by while in Quebec!

    Fillet and bone marrow
    Asiyeh Z.

    Fine dining French restaurant with friendly wait staff. We went to a different place for dinner and left in the middle of it because it was very disappointing. We just happened to stumble across this place. Started with the escargot that was prepped in garlic better and was pretty good. Then ordered the filet and bone marrow. I LOVED the bone marrow. Filet was also pretty good. Would go back for the bone marrow.

    This amazing restaurant has not changed in years and we don't want it to!! Some of the finest service in the area, very attentive waiters dressed in tuxedos, they know what they are doing. The table-side preparation of many dishes is not only entertaining but educational, as our server explained the best way to make a Caesars salad dressing while he did it. Don't miss the table side steaks, the duck, the shrimp. All cooked perfectly, melt in your mouth. Save room for dessert especially the pears flambé!!! This old-school wonderful restaurant is a no-miss.

    Kelsey T.

    This was the best meal we had while we were in Quebec. If you're looking to dine here, I would recommend making a reservation in advance! This restaurant provided the perfect atmosphere for a cozy dinner date. For our appetizer, we enjoyed the Minestrone soup, which was a light and flavorful soup that was perfect to offset the cold weather! Our main courses included the Dover sole Meunière, which was a light flaky fish and the special Beef Wellington served with an amazing Foie Gras gravy! We also ordered a side dish of the mashed potatoes which were super buttery and also went great with the Foie Gras gravy. Our service was quick and all of the waiters were attentive in case we needed to order anything else and always made sure our waters were filled! We'll make sure to come back when we visit Quebec again!

    French 75
    Abby ..

    Came here on a Wednesday night and it was a bit busy. We waited about 5 minutes before being seated. The servers were very nice and fast. Our server was a bit older but he was great! Gave us great recommendations and advice on our foods. Started off our meals with a French 75 (soo good compared to the ones made in America) and a red wine. We ordered oysters and escargot, which were both sooo good! Definitely recommend ordering them as appetizers. Our server recommended dipping the bread in the escargot sauce, which was super tasty too. I ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked right in front of us! It came out perfect (medium rare). My husband ordered the beef Wellington, which was super tasty too! The pastry was nice and flakey and the meat inside was cooked good too. One of the servers recommended cutting the beef Wellington into pieces and dipping it into the sauce so the pastry wouldn't get soggy. Regardless of it being a little loud inside the restaurant, we enjoyed it!

    Crème brûlée
    Nicole C.

    Food was phenomenal, service was very good and most items prepared right in front of you. The Cesar, escargot, potatoes, steaks, bread... and chocolate dome and creme brûlée were soooo good.

    Escargot
    Elmo D.

    A fine restaurant that aspires to be the best in Quebec but does not quite reach world class status. The food was very good. Scallops huge and melted in your mouth. Veal was a bit tough, sauce was good. Minestrone soup was very good. Service easy generally OK, but not up to the standard of a top restaurant. Had to ask for bread. Head waiter came around and asked if everything was OK, the mark of second class service. Use your eyes. Be available. Do not interrupt. Waiter asked for tip in US dollars. Cash. Scam to either get a better exchange rate or avoid taxes. Overall, a very nice, expensive dinner.

The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad and onion soup. Onion soup was made with ale and was covered in cheese. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese. But the onions were tender and cooked down thoroughly. The cheese pull you get is foot long! The broth had a depth of flavor that is not replicated elsewhere. I had the honey pie years ago and remembered that it was sweet, but very good. We didn't have room for dessert, but the maple amaretto creme brulee sounded amazing. All in all, a great meal everytime.

The breakfasts are HUGE so you can easily share with someone else if you're not in the mood to eat a full one yourself. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the toast buttered and fluffy, the hashbrowns were cooked well and seasoned well which is such a bonus as I find sometimes hashbrowns are lacking a lot. The side yogurt was surprisingly the highlight for me! It came with maple syrup, fruit and granola. I absolutely devoured it! The service was great here too, and they came by with drip coffee top up!

We cannot complain about that. Our server was friendly and very charming. The meal was beautifully paced. The restaurant itself is very noisy. The food itself was disappointing. On the recommendation of our server we started with the carrot doughnut. The doughnut itself was lost under a mountain of ricotta. I would not have known that it was carrot, except that she had told us. We ordered two other starters : I ordered the foie gras pate and my boyfriend ordered the fried oysters. The pate was served on a small layer of sunflower butter, which was unnecessary. The pate itself was surprisingly flavorless. Homemade bread and blueberry jam served alongside was quite good. The fried oysters were completely drowned in buffalo sauce, another green sauce and "blue cheese foam". I would not have even known they were oysters. They were served underneath some cucumbers and peppers and lettuce. For our main course, we shared the blood pudding, which, despite the crazy number of ingredients actually was delicious. It was the best thing we ate. It was served with homemade bacon, a roasted artichoke heart, and some mussels croquettes. Seriously a lot going on. For dessert we ordered the spiced orchard dacquoise. Another complex, and I thought overly complicated dish, that my boyfriend felt worked well. It was presented nicely, and I remembered to get a picture of it. All in all, it seemed like there's just way too much going on in each dish and no particular flavor stands out. Two of the dishes, the fried oysters and the carrot doughnut were just sloppy and smothered. The boudin and the dessert were both beautifully plated, and the flavors worked better as well. The foie gras appetizer was unfortunately bland, and the main ingredient did not shine. Maybe it was an off night? Maybe we didn't order the best things? Evidently, they're doing something right because they've been going for 50 years, but we just didn't see that.

The food is cooked technically very well, though the portions are small, particularly our scallop appetizer which was maybe 2 scallops. The food was very good, but for the price it wasn't amazing, amazing. My wife said her trout for example was a bith mushy. I had the beef and it was very good. I'd happily it that and the scallop dish (maybe I'd order two, lol) again. Cocktails were also very good. Then there was the pre-dinner mackrel rolled in seaweed. Totally fine but an odd choice to give to all the diners. Also, the bread was only so-so (I got a better loaf tonight at Farm Boy) and the pepper butter and fois-gras butter were sort of tasteless. Again this is a solid restaurant and despite being 'fancy' had a very unpretentious vibe about it, which I appreciated. But the price feels a bit high, and the service was quite slow. So for me, it is a 4, but except for a restaurant I ate with friends in Montreal in 2018 (the name of which I am forgetting) and a really excellent spot on Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the it is probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in Quebec.

    Le Saint-Armour is the epitome of an old-money established restaurant. They have their tasting menu…read more($150pp in July 2025) and a curated A la carte menu (appies ranging $29-39 and mains $56-72). Don't forget to save room for their desserts though because they were so thoughtful and artistically crafted!! Walking in, you go through a modern dining room and foyer. Then you enter their glass ceiling green house room where it's an eclectic but classy collection of plants, art, and decor. Their WINE MENU was an insane list & came as a book that was 50+ pages long!! Along with a bottle of wine, lovely complimentary bread & butter & amuse bouche....here's what we ordered: THE FOIE GRAS EXPERIENCE (5/5) - so fun getting to mix and match all 5 forms of foie gras. The most mind blowing one HAS to be the brûléed/caramelized foie gras in the little dish. Smokey, rich and savoury! LOBSTER BISQUE (5/5) - love the large chunk of fresh lobster. I enjoyed that it's not mashed up with everything and I get to enjoy the textures and flavour pairing. Jean-Luc Boulay Signature dish: Squab from Turlo's farm (5/5) - so many things to rave about with the dish. You simply MUST try this, truly a signature dish. EVERYTHING was amazing, and that stuffed mushroom took it to the next level for me. RACK OF LAMB (5/5) - beautiful cut of lamb (not fatty like how most other restaurants are). It's also presented/deconstructed so nicely for ease of eating! The Cannelé (5/5) - DREAMY dessert. It took me by surprise with the caramelized crispy cross-sectioned Cannelé sandwiched with rum mousse and ice cream. The Imperial (4/5) - great praline dessert
