Classic French cooking with excellent food & an impressive wine selection. The staff are amazing, especially Andreas, who looked after us very well & made excellent suggestions throughout the meal. Definitely try the flambé dishes, where they are prepared & cooked right in front of you, adding a special touch to the experience. The maple whisky crêpe was absolutely outstanding & a highlight of the evening. The ambience is warm & inviting, making it perfect for a special night out. It is also known as one of chef Anthony Bourdains favourite dining spots, which speaks volumes about its quality.

Classic French cuisine in a traditional manne

Took the kids here on a Sunday morning & honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience - the place was buzzing but not chaotic, which is exactly what you need with little ones in tow. Our server was incredibly patient while my youngest kept changing her mind about what she wanted, & she ended up loving the French toast. The room itself has this classic old-world Quebec City charm that feels special without being too stuffy for a casual family breakfast. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

I brought my wife to Le Continental to celebrate her birthday. Upon entering I was struck by the delicious smell as well as the classic decor & the white-jacketed wait staff. Old world elegance was everywhere!
The cocktails & appetizers were amazing. But the true centerpiece of the evening were the steaks, cooked perfectly table-side! To cap it off we finished with the cherries jubilee, also cooked table-side.
When in Quebec, I highly recommend dinner here, a Quebec institution since 1956!

If you ever find yourself wandering the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec, do yourself a favor & make a reservation at Le Continental. The restaurant has a timeless elegance & a refined old-world charm that perfectly matches the historic surroundings of Old Quebec. It is sophisticated without being pretentious, the kind of place where the focus becomes great food & great company.

The service is exceptional - attentive, polished, & genuinely welcoming. What makes it especially memorable is the traditional tableside preparation. Watching dishes finished right next to your table adds a sense of occasion that you rarely find anymore. We had the filet mignon en boîte, & it was absolutely unforgettable. Without exaggeration, it was the best filet mignon I've ever had - the kind of dish that stays in your memory long after the trip is over.

Between the remarkable food, the elegant atmosphere, & the flawless service, Le Continental delivers a dining experience that feels truly special. If you're visiting Quebec City & appreciate classic French cuisine done right, this restaurant is a must-visit - & the filet mignon en boîte is an absolute must-order.

As classic as it can get, in a good way. Everything was outstanding. Came in early January, cold outside & a bit fresh inside, dress warm.

From beginning to end, it was extraordinary & memorable. Truly a classic experience. The meal was fantastic. Add to that the setting the performance, if you will, of the tableside prep. We loved it.
