Le Continental est reconnu comme une institution culinaire classique à Québec, offrant une atmosphère raffinée et nostalgique qui transporte les convives dans une autre époque. De nombreux clients soulignent le service traditionnel unique, où le personnel expert prépare et flambe les plats directement à la table, créant une expérience à la fois mémorable et spectaculaire. Bien que le menu privilégie la cuisine française classique, le service impeccable, l'attention du personnel et le décor élégant contribuent régulièrement à faire des repas en famille ou en amoureux de véritables moments privilégiés. Bien que certains visiteurs aient noté que le rythme peut parfois sembler rapide ou traditionnel, la majorité salue la qualité constante des viandes, des fruits de mer et des desserts signatures, ce qui en fait une destination incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience gastronomique sophistiquée et interactive.
I recently dined at Le Continental, & it was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to our server, Jean Yves. He was absolutely fantastic-charming, present, & attentive throughout the evening, enhancing our dining experience in every way. A delightful surprise of the evening was having our meal prepared tableside, transforming our dinner into a captivating performance with Jean Yves expertly leading the way. His skill & showmanship made the evening all the more special. We left not just satisfied with the food, but thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Highly recommend!
After trying regional dishes - poutine, pouding chaumeur, cheeses, pates, wines, tortieres, pain au chocolate - at other eateries in Quebec City, my husband & I decided to splurge on a visit to the Continental, & we had a truly wonderful experience. We ordered chateaubriand which practically melted in the mouth & which was served with an array of well-prepared veggies. Accompanied by wine & ending with creme brulee & maple pie (the final regional dish on my list), this was a memorable meal. Not to mention the service. The service was personal, multi-faceted, & attentive. The wait staff are truly remarkable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent meal in Quebec City.
We saw this place on Bourdain's show. It is everything it appeared on TV: old-school decor, very attentive service, & excellent modern renditions of historic dishes. We dressed for dinner, & although not every patron did the same, it was still very special. The martinis were perfectly made (which we've learned you can't take for granted anymore) & the entrees were just spectacular (filet au poivre & dover sole).

What a delightful experience. Really wanted an authentic french dining experience while visiting Old Quebec for a few days with my sister. Le Continental was all that I hoped for & so much more. Our waiter Denis was attentive but not over bearing or rushed. We had a reservation for 2 at 1700 & felt we got the best seat in house. Our Caesar salad was prepared tableside & the experience was very cool. Denis explained as he blended the dressing, it was definitely not your average salad. We also had escargot which was also amazing, not overly garlicky just right. For my entree I had the shrimp flambe & it was amazing not including the table side show which was also fun. Shrimps were succulant & presented beautifully. My sister had the Sirloin flambe & it was cooked as she ordered to perfection, with a table side show in tandem while Denis cooked my shrimp. & even if you don't usually have dessert you'll be amazed at the the cherries jubilee if you love cherries. Just amazing in every aspect of dining. Do yourself a favor & splurge at Le Continental while in Old Quebec, you will only regret it if you don't do it. Thank you, Denis & Le Continental.
We wanted a special couple's evening out. The interior was well-appointed with white tablecloths all around. The sound-level was such that we could enjoy our conversation. Service was outstanding; welcoming, professional, & very attentive. The meal was outstanding; well prepared, excellent cooking, well presented. We enjoyed our evening & would come again if we are in town.
A wonderful restaurant in Od Quebec. Staff was attentive & the table side preparation of the Caesar salad & the Filet Mignon was excellent. Pricey, but worth it.
The reception was outstanding with the coat lady being super attentive, we were seated as requested through the reservation by a window - which was nice. & then it went downhill from there. Overall we felt rushed through the meal, servers taking glasses before we were done. It is important to add that the restaurant was busy but not full; we were the last seating at 8:00pm. The measure of the whiskies & cognac was minute.
Felt that the servers were all about the show of the flames at the tables while preparing the different platea/drinks that required. We were not into that, we were there for the food & a nice time together where we thought would be a nice restaurant
The chateaubriand was bland; it lack taste - even salt/pepper. Would not recommend.
We have been traveling to Quebec for many years & the one thing that remains constant is dining at this Amazing Restaurant. The most attentive & friendly servers, a wide variety of "the classics", & an entertaining & delicious preparation of dinner, prepared & presented tableside. & if that's not enough,finish with a flaming after dinner drink!!! It will soon become your favorite,as well as it is ours!!!
Pretty much everyone who visits Québec City raves about Le Continental & insists on paying a visit. So we did, & it was good food, theatrics & lot of money. The service was excellent, & we were taken care of. The staff are attentive & well presented as you would expect. Cocktails are nice to start off. Our starters arrived looking good. My Escargot not only looked good but tasted great as it was handled well by the chef. The classic Minestrone soup got a thumbs up from my partner. We had to go for the famous Caesar Salad, which was freshly prepared right in front of you, & it tasted divine. & then came the main course with the drama, which makes it interesting. My steak was nicely handled, & the only quib I had was the consistency of the sauce, which was too runny. My partner's fillet mignon also got a thumbs up. The sides & bread with butter were good. Finally, the Crepe Suzette was also prepared in front of us, fresh & delicate & lovely. The atmosphere was nice but a little dark for me with lightning. It definitely was an experience, particularly with the biggest tip I've ever given.
