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.
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 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!
Quelle belle expérience. Service impeccable & superbe ambiance. Le repas préparé à la table par Denis ( salade césar & filet mignon) fut exceptionnel. Un restaurant reconnu & recommandé. À ne pas manquer. 5 étoiles *****
If you want to impress, it's definitely the place to be, especially if you love meat. The service is truly 5 star, very attentive from start to finish.
Everything we tried was delicious: foie gras, escargots, Chateaubriand, & crêpes Suzette. The flambé presentation is a really nice touch & makes the experience special.
The atmosphere isn't modern, but that's part of the charm, with white tablecloths & staff in white blazers, it feels like stepping back in time. Highly recommend for a special occasion.
Moi & ma conjointe avons été à ce restaurant pour notre 10 anniversaire de rencontre & c'était l'une des mes meilleures expériences culinaire que j'ai vécu jusqu'à présent. Le service était incroyable ! Merci à Mathieu qui nous a servi tout au long de la soirée ainsi qu'à ces collègues. Un service impeccable & magique. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant & je vais y retourner sans hésiter.
