Le personnel est constamment décrit comme étant professionnel, attentionné et compétent, contribuant à un niveau de service élevé qui permet à de nombreux clients de se sentir privilégiés lors de leur visite.

My experience was a 10 out of 10! The service was impeccable & the food was delicious. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for a special occasion.
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!
Our fantastic dining experience began as soon as we walked in the door. We were greeted at the door & welcomed. All of the restaurant staff that saw us welcomed us & made us feel like we were regulars, even though this was our first visit. We ordered wine from the by-the-glass list; there was a very diverse list of wines & all of the wines on the list were very highly rated & the wine we had lived up to its very high rating. I also had the bartender make me a custom mocktail that was very good.
My main course, veal. was prepared in the kitchen & my spouse's steak was prepared tableside. Both were prepared beautifully & exactly as requested. The waiters were very attentive, but did not hover. Nabil, our waiter, made sure he understood our orders & requests & made sure that everything was done perfectly. The restaurant was obviously an older establishment but was spotlessly clean with very comfortable furniture & furnishings. Prices were higher than average, but not exorbitant & what one would expect for the exceptional service & food quality provided.
This restaurant is superb. The food Was wonderful. The wait staff was so attentive & helpful. Our food was finished flambe style at the table. Just terrific experience overall, thank you so much to all who participated in our evening.
Fantastic service, staff were very professional, prompt & attentive. We started with a Caesars salad made at the table, shrimp cocktail & a lobster bisque. The main was the veal medallion & Sirloin Sirloin steak, served with vegetables. Sirloin was cooked to perfection (medium rare) & the veal medallion were very tender.
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.
If you ever find yourself wandering the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec, do yourself a favor & make a reservation at Le Continental. The restaurant has a timeless elegance & a refined old-world charm that perfectly matches the historic surroundings of Old Quebec. It is sophisticated without being pretentious, the kind of place where the focus becomes great food & great company.
The service is exceptional - attentive, polished, & genuinely welcoming. What makes it especially memorable is the traditional tableside preparation. Watching dishes finished right next to your table adds a sense of occasion that you rarely find anymore. We had the filet mignon en boîte, & it was absolutely unforgettable. Without exaggeration, it was the best filet mignon I've ever had - the kind of dish that stays in your memory long after the trip is over.
Between the remarkable food, the elegant atmosphere, & the flawless service, Le Continental delivers a dining experience that feels truly special. If you're visiting Quebec City & appreciate classic French cuisine done right, this restaurant is a must-visit - & the filet mignon en boîte is an absolute must-order.
