escargot, seared foie gras & filet mignon were all incredibly. fries were a great pair with the steak, too. staff was friendly & professional. great experience overall
Would give more stars if I could!
From going in to booking our table to leaving the restaurant after our meal all the staff were lovely, happy, professional.
We were recommended this restaurant by our tour guide as we wanted somewhere special to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary & The Continental certainly didn't disappoint.
Our waiter Raphael was attentive & happy to give advice to help us with our choices. We had the snails & crab to start with & both chose different steaks which were expertly cooked at our table.
We can't remember the last time we had such delicious, tender, tasty steaks.
We finished off with Strawberry shortcake & the creme brulé, a long with a cognac to finish the evening.
If you are staying in Quebec, I would highly recommend you visiting this restaurant.
Nous étions 4 & très excités d'aller vivre l'expérience du Continental. Malheureusement, cela ne s'est pas déroulé comme imaginé.
Dans ce type d'établissement, on s'attend à un sans-faute. Leur réputation & leur prix l'indiquent bien.
Pour commencer, on nous a assis dans une salle à l'étage, à côté d'un groupe installé dos à dos avec nous. Nos chaises se cognaient constamment. Les couverts étaient éparpillés sur la table & j'ai dû moi-même les placer devant moi.
Au moment de la commande, j'ai demandé au serveur si le carpaccio était bon. Il m'a répondu : « Si tu aimes la viande crue, tu devrais aimer... » Bref.
Nous étions ensuite indécis quant aux plats & nous avons demandé s'il était possible de commander les entrées maintenant & les plats un peu plus tard. Le serveur nous a dit qu'il fallait tout commander d'un coup, sinon la cuisine le chicanerait. Nous avons donc tout commandé quelques minutes plus tard.
La salade César était excellente, le plat de crabe était correct, mais nous n'avons jamais reçu le carpaccio.
Lorsque j'ai signalé au serveur que nous n'avions pas reçu le carpaccio, il venait tout juste de commencer la cuisson des steaks pour le plat principal. Il nous a dit : « Oups, j'ai oublié. Le voulez-vous quand même? »
Comme les cuissons étaient déjà commencées, nous ne voulions pas retarder le service & risquer que nos plats soient moins bons. Nous avons donc refusé.
Ensuite, mon steak, l'entrecôte, était raide & la sauce pas assez réduite, donc sans goût. Le filet en boîte, lui, c'était l'inverse : la sauce était tellement réduite qu'il y en avait à peine pour recouvrir la moitié du steak.
Pour le dessert, les crêpes flambées à l'érable étaient incroyables. Je les recommande à tout le monde.
Pour finir, le serveur a oublié de commander le café & un aide-serveur a ramassé d'un coup trois de nos verres encore pleins de cognac, de vin & d'eau. Un autre serveur lui a fait réaliser son erreur en lui criant après.
Absolutely phenomenal experience! My partner & I were speechless. The ceasar salad is made from scratch, in front of you. The filet mignon too. It is hands down the best steak & ceasar salad we have ever had. The service was outstanding. It is the kind of place that you HAVE to try at least once. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.
Excellent Dinner with beautiful table side preparation. The flambé dishes (steak, duck, crèpes) is quite a show but also tastes great. We had an excellent evening & can for sure recommend this.
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!
Always amazing. The authentic & refined ambiance from that period is hard find now a days. The food is amazing, the service is excellent, & the whole experience is just one of a kind. The best steakhouse in Quebec City with that touch of nostalgia. A must try !
We have visited the restaurant in past years, & were left underwhelmed this time. The service was courteous & friendly, but we were disappointed with the low flames, & the presentation of our dishes were lacking, especially our two flambée desserts. The steak & duck were tasty, but be ready for heavy use of butter. Our favorite Alaska bomb dessert was not on the menu. It's just a shame that the menu is static & there's no attempt to be creative like so many restaurants in the city. We are considering not returning in our upcoming visits.
