Le Continental is widely regarded as a premier dining destination in Quebec City, celebrated for its timeless elegance and classic French cuisine. Guests frequently highlight the unique, old-world atmosphere and the exceptional tableside preparation of dishes, such as the signature Caesar salad, various flambé steaks, and crêpes Suzette, which provide an engaging and memorable culinary performance. The staff is consistently described as professional, attentive, and skilled, contributing to a high level of service that makes many patrons feel truly special during their visits. While the experience is often noted as a significant investment, most visitors find the combination of high-quality food, expert service, and nostalgic charm to be well worth the cost for special occasions or a quintessential dining experience.
From the initial warm welcome to the impeccable (& entertaining) service & the classic beautifully presented French dishes, we enjoyed another memorable evening at Le Continental. The following evening, after a disappointing dinner elsewhere, we skipped dessert & headed back to Le Continental. We were so grateful you were able to squeeze us in! We shared a cheese course, a repeat of the excellent Parmesan Fondue appetizer, the must-have Crepes Suzette, & an Inniskillen ice wine. Thank you for rescuing our evening! We will of course return the next time we visit Quebec.
Can not go wrong with classic French cuisine executed to perfection. It was FANTASTIC. Our waiter, Kevin, guided is through the wine list, steak offerings, appetizers & desserts. He was friendly while being formal in his white tux & controlled table-side cooking at 4 tables without missing a beat. Our escargot was delicious, we shared a chateaubriand that was flambéed table-side to a perfect medium rare & accompanied with an assortment of vegetables. Tried the cheese plate & it was great. Finished the dinner with our Saint-Emilion Bordeaux a decadent decadent chocolate mouse. The place is on the formal side, but the staff puts you at ease quickly, the Waiters & Chefs know what they are doing. FANTASTIC MEAL WELL WORTH THE PRICE
Thank you for making our special anniversary dinner even more special! The waiters are superb & serve you in their white suits & ties! It is almost a lost art the way they serve you! The flambé was very special! Duck l'orange, shrimp in cognac sauce, vegetables & desserts were all amazing! Take advantage of going back in time & enjoy a little Downton Abbey style!

DE L'ACCUEUIL FORMIDABLE AU DESSERT.... TOUT ÉTAIS EXQUIS. UN SERVICE IMPECCABLE.... NOTRE COUP DE COEUR A TOUS LES ANS... UNE ÉQUIPE TRÈS PROFESSIONNELLE....
Service was terrific. Table-side flambé of entree & dessert were both entertaining & yielded great food. Food was prepared perfectly & was delicious! Never rushed; relaxed & enjoyable evening. We will go back — over & over!
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.
Nous sommes allés en couple je dois commencer par dire qu'on a été bien accueillis , les serveurs & même la dame à la prise de manteau étaient impeccable ! Nous avons pris l'assiette de fruits de mers nos attentes étaient relativement élevés nous sommes gaspesiens j'ai été très déçus parce que la chair de crabe & celle de homard étaient sec & goûtait le frigo * j'ai travaillée en cuisine je sais qu'on prépare souvent les entrées un peu à l'avance & mis au frigo mais le goût du homard était horrible .. rien à voir avec un produit frais ! Le dessert quant à lui était fabuleux autant le saint-honoré que la tarte à l'érable c'était tout simplement parfait !! Je donne quand même 4 étoiles le services en général est absolument à la hauteur de la réputation du restaurant !
Le service & cuisine aux tables,courtois & impeccable. Salade César en entrée absolument délicieuse, un plat de veau aux champignons, tendre & juteux, une crème brûlée craquante pour dessert. Ambiance feutrée, musique agréable. Seule chose a redire, comme il y avait beaucoup de monde,il faisait un peu chaud dans le restaurant.
Ce restaurant nous a été recommandé & nous ne sommes pas déçu. Tout était délicieux, de l'entrée au dessert. Service impeccable & oui c'est un peu plus cher, mais la préparation des plats à la table a un coût.
We ordered the orange duck, the steak & the shrimp. The steak & shrimp were good. The orange duck was not good at all. The duck was not fresh. You can tell it was cooked a couple days ago. The orange sauce was not tasty. We ordered the peach dessert. It was essentially just canned peach with some sauce. Of course, they cooked them in front of you. Overall, I think you eat more or less for the presentation & the show. The food was really not so great. Although I have to say the portion is large.
