Le Continental is a true gem for French cuisine & a must-visit for any food lover! From the moment we walked in, we felt transported by the elegant ambiance & impeccable service. Our waiter, Butch, was absolutely incredible-attentive, knowledgeable, & brought such charm to our dining experience. The food was exceptional! The filet was perfectly cooked & melted in our mouths, the seafood platter was fresh & beautifully presented, & the beef carpaccio was a delightful start. The Caesar salad for two, prepared tableside, was not only a delicious highlight but also a fun & interactive touch that made our evening feel extra special. Every detail of our meal was perfection, & we can't wait to return. If you're looking for a place that combines exquisite food, outstanding service, & an unforgettable dining experience, Le Continental is it!
My husband & I booked a table here during our honeymoon at the recommendation of a co-worker of mine. It was the coolest dining experience we have ever had. Right from the second we walked up to the door we received the best service we have ever had a a restaurant. The man at the host desk was very kind & entertained my sub par (at best) French, joking that he appreciated the effort & would continue to speak to me in French so I could practice. Our server came to the table & right away asked if we would prefer French or English. We started with the Caesar salad for two as our appetizer. It was assembled right at the table, with our server explaining every ingredient as he mixed it in. It was a very large portion & was phenomenal. Next we both decided on the peppercorn strip loin as our mains. It was such a cool experience to have the steak cooked in front of us, & of course the flambé piece was quite the show. The side dish was asparagus, roasted potatoes & diced carrots in a cream sauce. They were all good but nothing special, the steak was definitely the star of the show. All of the staff was interactive & attentive. At no point did either of our water glasses or other drinks get empty before they were refilled or we were asked if we would like another. My husband had beer & I started with a cosmopolitan, & had a glass of Pinot noir with my main. The staff were very knowledgeable regarding drink options & flavour profiles when it came to pairing a wine with the food options. For dessert we got the crème brûlée to share which was just as amazing as everything else. We would 100% return to this restaurant & recommend it to anyone looking for a one of a kind type of dining experience.

It's our 3rd time in this restaurant. Service exceeds expectations. We love the food & always book dinner every time we take a trip to Quebec City. Alberto is super friendly , funny, & very attentive. Thank you, Alberto, for the awesome evening. Hubby & I both had the caeser salad to share, peppercorn crusted steak & a boozy Brazilian coffee. Exceptional service from the whole team from start to finish !
Belle soiree pour célébrer l'anniversaire de notre magnifique artiste Christian Bergeron Nourriture de haute qualité & service stylé & impeccable Un grand classique à reviser encore & encore! La salade césar une merveille faite à votre table, le foie gras poëlé, le fameux filet mignon en boîte cuit à la perfection, & que dire des crêpes à l'érable pour terminer!!!
This is a lovely restaurant, classic & elegant but not stuffy. The Mature'd was charming. Our server Nicholas let me taste two wines before choosing. We had the Caesar salad for 2 prepared at the table It was delicious. We had 2 of the specials Rack of Lamb & Beef Wellington. Delicious & generous portions.
Le repas était succulent & les crêpes suzettes sont délicieuses. Je vous recommande chaudement l'entrecôte ainsi que la salade césar. Tout est fait & cuisiné devant vous à la table, ce qui ajoute à l'ambiance. Mention spéciale pour l'excellent service de Brian.
The dinner was excellent. We were seated upstairs which lacked a little of the ambiance of the main dining room. All the food was first class. It is a little weird to recommend the Caesar salad as the top recommendation but it was very good. Staff was polite, timely, & provided excellent service. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Quebec.
We have a wonderful dinner. It was a dinner & a show with the table side preparations of the Caesar Salad, Steaks & Baked Alaska. Food was on point. I especially appreciated our server, Bryan. He was professional yet friendly. Others were stuffy. This is not my preference when out. Highly recommend.
Matthew was a polished & entertaining waiter! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The tableside preparations of our Ceasar salad & Filet Continental were a visual treat!
