We went to Le Continental for our 10 year anniversary & it did not disappoint! We had the best Caesar salad we've ever had in our lives (prepared fresh right at the table!) Our Beef Wellington & filet mignon was superb. The service provided by Dénish was superb!
An incredible celebration for our 50th! A lovely table was set for us in a quiet corner looking out on beautiful flowers.
Our waiter, Alberto, exuded personality & a wonderful sense of humor while preparing the best Caesar Salad either of us have ever eaten, followed by the final searing of a perfectly-cooked Chateaubriand with mushroom sauce, accompanied by delicious vegetables & small roasted potatoes.
I asked for an Irish coffee; the steps Alberto followed, including a trail of flaming Hameson being poured into a heated glass with melted sugar heated onto the rim, we're extraordinary to watch.
We then shared a cream puff, with a candle, in honor of the event.
A beautiful restaurant, perfectly-prepared food, & an extraordinary waiter!
Fabulous! Flambeed everything! Outstanding service - our waiter was both an excellent chef & server. Every table was filled for an early sitting on a Tuesday night in July. Fantastic fifties cuisine - cherries jubilee, lobster Newburg (flambé of course), Caesar salad made at our table - a perfect birthday celebration.

Very nice meal & experience. Everything prepared table side -Caesar salad for two, Châteaubriand & cherries Flambé. Two cocktails & moderate priced bottle of wine had the bill about what you'd expect to pay for a better meal in any US city. Definitely recommend making this a part of your Quebec dining. Only disappointment was there is no dress code for a nice place. We were simply dressed for a nice nite out but at least one other patron was in a long sleeve T-Shirt. Sort of took away from the setting.
We had a date night out at Le Continental. We have been there before & were impressed by the food & services. This time around I thought the service was on par as was the food, though the price for the Caesar salad for 2 has gone up, & it seems they used pre-made croutons. I could be wrong, but for some reason it was slightly different than our first dining experience there. We had the chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection. Personally I thought it could have been seasoned slightly more, but other than that I can't complain as it was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The sides were a little lackluster in seasoning as well, but we'll-cooked. We ordered few potato dauphinoise which was excellent. The kir & cabernet Sauvignon was excellent & went well with the meal. Overall we loved our date night.
First time at this storied resto & was very impressed by the attentive service, table-side prep of our Caesar salad & châteaubriand‘s final flourishes, & excellent food, drinks & dessert.
A fabulous 1st meal during our visit. Definitely a classic. Caesar salad was made very well. The beef capriccio was excellent. The scallops were cooked to perfection. Just a minor comment on the chateaubriand. We ordered it medium rare; however, with the sauce prepared at the table side, it should of been order rare. The minor flaw was that the sauce was prepared at table side, our expectation was the steak should of also been final touched too at table side. That's the only reason I deducted one star. Service was excellent. Will return.
This restaurant is fantastic! Do not hesitate to make a reservation. The Caesar salad is made at the table & its is the best one I have had! The steak au poivre is to die for. We were a group of 9 people & we all agreed that this restaurant is hands down the best we've had since we arrived in Quebec city. SKIP Champlain at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac & DO go to Le Continental just around the corner. You will not be disappointed. The flambe steaks & crepes made table side at Le Continental are great entertainment for the kids & our waiter/chef did include our son in the flambe process which was nice of them to do.
We ordered lots of different items off the menu like the cheese croquettes, pate, foie gras, & it was all delectable. We truly enjoyed our meal & will return! Unfortunately they do not open for lunch but do book ahead of time for a dinner reservation. Cheers!
Top notch service. Valet parking, coat check. Excellent value for money.
The Caesar salad was the best I have had ever. The waiter mad it from scratch at our table. Had the veal & Salmon. Excellent food.
