Incredible experience. Highly recommended. We had the filet & Baked Alaskan for dessert. Staff was kind & service was excellent. Great wine selection as well. A must if you are in Quebec City.
We had a great dinner at Le Continental in Old Quebec. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly-medium for me & medium rare for my wife-& it was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing, warm & attentive throughout the evening. The maple sugar pie was a standout dessert-rich & flavorful. The only letdown was the side dishes, which were a bit dry & underwhelming. Still, a memorable meal overall & worth a visit.
A jewel in old Quebec City. Great food & service. Near the Chateau Frontenac. Very tasty appetizers, entrees, & desserts, including chocolate mousse. Some of dishes prepared at the table.

Absolutely the best place to eat in Quebec City. Impeccable service, best Ceasar salad ever & wonderful desserts & entrees. Go old school, this place will not disappoint!
This wonderful classic Quebec City French restaurant was a perfect way to celebrate a 40th Wedding Anniversary trip. The staff was welcoming , & professional . We enjoyed our'flambe expert' & excellent waiter Dennis. We started off with the Escargots, I chose the fresh Lobster & Dennis created Lobster Newburg table side for us. My husband chose the Filet Mignon, also prepared tableside with Dennis' finesse. Both dishes were heaven to eat! .They came with Asparagus, delicious chopped carrots & either Parmesan potatoes or saffron rice. We truly wanted to try one of the the crepes for 2 for dessert, but we were full from dinner. I wanted to try something I hadn't had before & we shared the baked Alaska. Grand Marnier was poured over the frozen dessert table side & lit. It was refreshing & delicious with a beautiful orange flavor that came thru nicely after the alcohol burned off . I hope to return again sometime in the future . Merci Beaucoup to Le Continental for a lovely, memorable celebration dinner .
One of the best overall dining experiences I've had in a long time. My wife & I went for our anniversary. It was a highlight in our first time to Quebec.
We loved the old school fine dining experience. Everything was perfect & delicious from the martinis, lobster cocktail, lobster bisque, filet mignon, & dessert.
It was worth every penny. Food, service, & ambiance was top notch. I highly recommend.
Dinner at Le Continental was very disappointing. Our waiter from Milan was very aggressive & tried to get my kids to order other things that they did not even want. He was also very aggressive in getting us to drink more than we wanted to & we had to insist that we did not want more. The Caesar salad & the foie gras onion soup were amazing. Their signature filet mignon was drenched in sauce & was overwhelming. The veal sweet breads were also very disappointing. Desserts were overly sugary & could not eat them. We also ordered escargot of which they were only snails in five out of the six. We were told that the missing one would be replaced, but still never received it. Overall was very disappointed with this restaurant & would never go back or recommend it. While the concept of them cooking table side was cool. The food needs to be up to par for the prices they asked for. At the end our waiter also said to us' we have done an excellent service for you tonight cooking for you & we expect you to give us also an excellent tip.' while we are always gracious tippers I found his comment extremely rude & forward.
The only fine dining restaurant open till 10:30 PM to serve food, we were tourists & little did we know that all the restaurants close by 9 PM in Quebec City.
This place came as our savior & never disappointed us. Infact we were surprised by the flavors they offered us.
From the appetizers, to the entrees & the desserts 🤌🤌.
Tried their Parmesan croquettes & shrimp cocktail for appetizers, salmon filet with green pepper corn sauce ( when I fell in love with salmon), mini st honore cake a must try & creme brulee!
The staff is friendly & treats you very well. There is a coat check available at the front desk.
Last minute reservation & hands down the best food I've had in my entire trip. The service excellent & prompt, very attentive & the whole experience is amazing. Please don't forget the dessert it's so delicious, I would definitely go back to Canada just to eat at this place !
Excellent service, personnel attentionné même en cette période de l'année très achalandée. L'entrecôte flambée à la moutarde de Meaux & Dijon était très bonne. Nous avons également bien aimé les crêpes Suzette en dessert. Le service au guéridon permet d'apprécier pleinement l'expérience de ce restaurant.
