Pour notre 45 E Anniversaire de mariage, on voulait revenir dans le « temps » avec le repas flambé à la table qui, malheureusement, n'existe presque plus. Un service d'excellence avec « notre serveur Mathieu C » ,& le reste du personnel. Salade Caesar, chateaubriand flambé, pêches flambées & la petite surprise avec 2 chandelles. Merci Mathieu C. C'est à refaire.
We had a delightful dinner at Le Continental to celebrate a big birthday. The service was impeccable, the food divine, & the table-side preparation of our Caesar salad & entrees was dramatic & fun. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that the selection of wines by the glass was quite disappointing--I would expect higher-quality options for a restaurant of this caliber.
We had an outstanding dinning experience. The service was both friendly & professional. The vibe was quiet excpet for the staff moving about to provide the service with light music in the background. The service was excellent with one major waiter & several others to support...a total team environment which you do not see in many restaurants. The caesar salad for two is highly recommended as well as the chateaubriand....all prepared at your table. I look forward to returning & would not hesitate to recommend Le Continental to others.
What am amazing experience. Caesar salad dressing was made from scratch at the table & the salad was great. Foie gras (seared) was the best & largest serving I have ever had & was amazing. Steaks were also prepared at the table & were excellent. Our waiter/ preparer was welcoming, entertaining & gave us a great experience.
It wasn't my first time patronizing this restaurant, so my review & impressions are not just based on this most recent visit.
The customer service is always superb, & very attentive from start to end, no matter the size of the party & the demands imparted.
Their wine list/menu is superb & so encompassing, from glass offerings to whole bottles & limited grapes, too.
Their food menu is "traditionally French" but that's by no means a criticism, it's a highlight if anything. Most of the steaks are cooked side table, the Caesar salad is also prepared side table, & so are some/most of the desserts.
If you're looking for an exceptional meal & evening out in Old Quebec - this is it, don't look any further or farther!
Exceeded our expectations! Service was impeccable, staff were so friendly. The meal was incredible... highly recommend the escargot, Caesar salad & filet, just wow!!
Perfect in every way. Dinner & a show with the table side service to make our Caesar salad & filet mignon. A truly special experience I will never forget.
Impeccable service!
Excellent Caesar Salad. Best we've had in a long time. Dover Sole was superb & the pieces were large. All around wonderful experience.
In a word.........Spectacular. White table cloths, small but proper wine list, menu executed to perfection table side. From the moment we walked in, it was a perfect dining experience. Very few old school French restaurants remain with this level of service & quality. Table side caesar salad, filet mignon with dauphionoise potatoes were all spectacular & perfectly executed. I look forward to going back to Quebec City, if for nothing else - this restaurant. Enjoy!
