Everything was absolutely exceptional. The filet mignon was the best I've ever had-perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, & full of flavor. The lobster was equally outstanding, & every side dish was delicious & prepared to perfection.
What truly made the evening unforgettable was our waiter, Raphael. His professionalism, attention to detail, & warm, friendly service elevated the entire experience. He made us feel genuinely welcome & ensured everything was perfect from start to finish.
If you're visiting Quebec City, Le Continental is an absolute must. A world-class restaurant with outstanding food, impeccable service, & an unforgettable atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
This is the kind of place I save for special occasions. The service was outstanding-friendly, professional, & attentive. I loved that they cooked the steak right at our table, which made the experience even more memorable. The food & desserts were both delicious. A friend recommended this place, & it definitely lived up to the hype!

What an incredible experience at Le Continental! From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional: the food, the presentation, the atmosphere, & especially the service.
A huge shoutout to our waiter, Hugo Patrice, who truly made the evening unforgettable. His professionalism, personality, attention to detail, & tableside presentation turned a wonderful dinner into a full experience. He was absolutely outstanding!
The food was phenomenal, beautifully prepared, & every detail felt special. If you are visiting Quebec City, put Le Continental at the top of your list. This isn't just dinner, it's an experience you'll remember long after your trip.
Five stars all the way. We can't recommend Hugo & Le Continental enough!
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.
Every visit to Le Continental is special & this experience was another. Starting off with valet parking from Jeff-who remarkably remembered us-set a wonderful tone for the evening.
Our server, Guy, took excellent care of us throughout the night. His attention to every detail & humor is special. The food was nothing short of outstanding. The oysters on the half shell were incredibly fresh, & watching the lobster flambé being prepared tableside was an absolute highlight. To top it all off, the Brazilian coffees for dessert were spectacular. Amazing food, stellar service, & a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended to everyone!
Special thanks to Mathieu Pettigrew, Guy, Jeff & others for making another exceptional experience.
I made a reservation to eat here as, honestly, there weren't many reservations left the weekend before Christmas & I managed to grab this one. Absolutely outstanding. It felt very old school, but in a good way! They opened the door to my Uber, which was so unexpected, & we were greeted at the door by the maitre d', as well as 3 or 4 waitstaff. Someone offered to take our coats & then we were seated. They will cook some of their offerings tableside. A proposal took place while we were there & was announced by the maitre d' after she accepted, with the whole restaurant celebrating the engagement. Everyone was super attentive & great at clearing the table or refilling waters without being disruptive. Our food was, I'm told, outstanding. Unfortunately, I had a cold & couldn't taste anything. Ugh, so frustrating. But my steak was tender & my family said everything (including my meal) was delicious! I would love to go back & order the same thing & actually taste it this time!!!
