Very nice meal & experience. Everything prepared table side -Caesar salad for two, Châteaubriand & cherries Flambé. Two cocktails & moderate priced bottle of wine had the bill about what you'd expect to pay for a better meal in any US city. Definitely recommend making this a part of your Quebec dining. Only disappointment was there is no dress code for a nice place. We were simply dressed for a nice nite out but at least one other patron was in a long sleeve T-Shirt. Sort of took away from the setting.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner & a lesson on constructing a Ceasar salad. The host was gracious to hold our table a bit past our reserved time... as we had too much fun on our history tour of Quebec City.
We had a date night out at Le Continental. We have been there before & were impressed by the food & services. This time around I thought the service was on par as was the food, though the price for the Caesar salad for 2 has gone up, & it seems they used pre-made croutons. I could be wrong, but for some reason it was slightly different than our first dining experience there. We had the chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection. Personally I thought it could have been seasoned slightly more, but other than that I can't complain as it was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The sides were a little lackluster in seasoning as well, but we'll-cooked. We ordered few potato dauphinoise which was excellent. The kir & cabernet Sauvignon was excellent & went well with the meal. Overall we loved our date night.

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.
A fabulous 1st meal during our visit. Definitely a classic. Caesar salad was made very well. The beef capriccio was excellent. The scallops were cooked to perfection. Just a minor comment on the chateaubriand. We ordered it medium rare; however, with the sauce prepared at the table side, it should of been order rare. The minor flaw was that the sauce was prepared at table side, our expectation was the steak should of also been final touched too at table side. That's the only reason I deducted one star. Service was excellent. Will return.
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.
Very classic french dining. The food was superb & the waitstaff excellent. The were super accommodating which our daughter that has special needs & is a selective eater. We had a Cesar salad created table side & the beef tenderloin Continental flambé & my husband had the beef Wellington it was so very delicious. They also made one of the best French martinis I have ever had. We highly recommend Le Continental.
This restaurant is fantastic! Do not hesitate to make a reservation. The Caesar salad is made at the table & its is the best one I have had! The steak au poivre is to die for. We were a group of 9 people & we all agreed that this restaurant is hands down the best we've had since we arrived in Quebec city. SKIP Champlain at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac & DO go to Le Continental just around the corner. You will not be disappointed. The flambe steaks & crepes made table side at Le Continental are great entertainment for the kids & our waiter/chef did include our son in the flambe process which was nice of them to do.
We ordered lots of different items off the menu like the cheese croquettes, pate, foie gras, & it was all delectable. We truly enjoyed our meal & will return! Unfortunately they do not open for lunch but do book ahead of time for a dinner reservation. Cheers!
Top notch service. Valet parking, coat check. Excellent value for money.
The Caesar salad was the best I have had ever. The waiter mad it from scratch at our table. Had the veal & Salmon. Excellent food.
