We had our Chinese new year eve dinner there, it was one of the best meals in the old Quebec.
The service was so wonderfully attentive, all the staff were friendly & helpful.
For two of us, we shared the duo foie gras, I prefer the grilled one on toast, so good. I wish they can serve it by itself one day. The snails were good but not the best. For main course, we shared the flaming shrimps & Dover sole, so we enjoyed the wonderful serving performance beside table.
Le Continental is a true gem for French cuisine & a must-visit for any food lover! From the moment we walked in, we felt transported by the elegant ambiance & impeccable service. Our waiter, Butch, was absolutely incredible-attentive, knowledgeable, & brought such charm to our dining experience. The food was exceptional! The filet was perfectly cooked & melted in our mouths, the seafood platter was fresh & beautifully presented, & the beef carpaccio was a delightful start. The Caesar salad for two, prepared tableside, was not only a delicious highlight but also a fun & interactive touch that made our evening feel extra special. Every detail of our meal was perfection, & we can't wait to return. If you're looking for a place that combines exquisite food, outstanding service, & an unforgettable dining experience, Le Continental is it!

This restaurant was an incredible experience!! They planned for every detail, the food was magnificent, & the atmosphere was very festive. Our waiter (David Ouellet) was excellent. He was very attentive, funny, & an excellent communicator. We enjoyed ourselves & would definitely plan a return trip!!
We have had many wonderful meals in beautiful Quebec City over the past week, but last night's meal at Le Continental was as close to perfection as it gets. From the warm & inviting elegant ambience to the attentive & professional staff, it could not be better. The food was fabulous. We had the chateaubriand for 2 & the steak was cooked at our table. The accompanying dauphinois potatoes , spinach, asparagus & carrots were superb. My husband started with oysters & I had the turnip soup (delicious). Dessert was sorbet & also the maple & pecan cake. The food was beautifully prepared, hot, & truly the best meal we have had in a long time. I felt the prices were very fair. All in all, a wonderful evening. Thank you to all who served us. Special thanks to the chef & to two of our servers, Hugo & Mathieu.
My husband & I booked a table here during our honeymoon at the recommendation of a co-worker of mine. It was the coolest dining experience we have ever had. Right from the second we walked up to the door we received the best service we have ever had a a restaurant. The man at the host desk was very kind & entertained my sub par (at best) French, joking that he appreciated the effort & would continue to speak to me in French so I could practice. Our server came to the table & right away asked if we would prefer French or English. We started with the Caesar salad for two as our appetizer. It was assembled right at the table, with our server explaining every ingredient as he mixed it in. It was a very large portion & was phenomenal. Next we both decided on the peppercorn strip loin as our mains. It was such a cool experience to have the steak cooked in front of us, & of course the flambé piece was quite the show. The side dish was asparagus, roasted potatoes & diced carrots in a cream sauce. They were all good but nothing special, the steak was definitely the star of the show. All of the staff was interactive & attentive. At no point did either of our water glasses or other drinks get empty before they were refilled or we were asked if we would like another. My husband had beer & I started with a cosmopolitan, & had a glass of Pinot noir with my main. The staff were very knowledgeable regarding drink options & flavour profiles when it came to pairing a wine with the food options. For dessert we got the crème brûlée to share which was just as amazing as everything else. We would 100% return to this restaurant & recommend it to anyone looking for a one of a kind type of dining experience.
It's our 3rd time in this restaurant. Service exceeds expectations. We love the food & always book dinner every time we take a trip to Quebec City. Alberto is super friendly , funny, & very attentive. Thank you, Alberto, for the awesome evening. Hubby & I both had the caeser salad to share, peppercorn crusted steak & a boozy Brazilian coffee. Exceptional service from the whole team from start to finish !
Overall dinner experience was outstanding from the moment we arrived. Food was exceptional & the service from Michel was nothing short of stupendous. Michel was knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating & very personable making our dinner even more special. Thank you to all that made our night memorable. Silvana & Jeff.
The premier dining experience in Quebec City. Gorgeous restaurant with classic decor. The service staff in white tuxedos is highly attentive without being intrusive & cook many of the dishes at table side. The food was superb & the wine pairings were perfect. Highly recommend.
