We have amazing culinary experience at Le Continental, the oldest restaurant in Quebec City. The staff were very professional & ensured we were well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. We had Coquetel de crevettes au Parfum de Cognac & Escargots à l'ail en coquilles followed by the Canard à l'orange flambé. It was quite a treat to experience gueridon service, one of the only restaurants in North America to provide this table service. There are two types of waiters, the experienced white coats & their apprentices, who wear maroon jackets. Unfortunately, there was a very rude family from Berkeley California, who were seated near us. They did not like that an apprentice was assisting at their table- stating that "learning is for the kitchen". However, they thought it was perfectly acceptable to bring a loud infant with them to a very adult restaurant. They also thought it was their right to loudly scold the waiter for everyone within earshot to hear. Going so far as to let him know they have been to Paris, where things are done right. We felt bad for the waiter, who remained calmed & professional. If you decide to dine at this exceptional restaurant, we hope you will enjoy the culinary traditions as much as we did.

We had a wonderful experience at Le Continental. Everything about our evening was extremely enjoyable. Our waiter, Guy, took excellent care of us & clearly added to the overall enjoyment. The food & wine were excellent, as well as the ambience.
