Our meal was delicious! From the table side made Caesar salad to our Chateaubriand for two, everything was top notch. The staff was so friendly & welcoming. We truly enjoyed everything!
Great service. Our server was funny & friendly. BEST Caesar salad I've ever had (regardless of the visual / performative aspect). The Dijon mustard & fresh garlic makes the sauce bright & refreshing, & the candied bacon is just a spectacular touch. Foie gras was slightly fishy, & needed a touch more salt. The shrimp was good, very buttery. Wish the garlic was a bit more robust, & any kind of herbs to balance out the oily flavor. Overall very good food (As an avid home baker I have more details about the Black Forest cake below) it had the perfect amount of sugar - So much better than any xake in the US I didn't get enough of the maraschino cherry syrup / kirsch (alcohol) flavor in the cake. It's moist & nice texture wise, which is great. The whipped cream is a bit too dull / weak to support what's going on w the cake. It needed a bit more cherries. Overall, extremely well done food & a great experience. I'd come back in the future when visiting Quebec!
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.
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.
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.
I picked this place because it had Dover Sole on its menu, I had no idea of the experience we were about have... I loved it! We were in QC for the night & I called around 3:30 for an 8 pm reservation. I loved the atmosphere, exactly what you would expect for an old school vibe. Table side service is rare nowadays & it brought back fond memories. All the staff were men, following old school hierarchy roles. Very efficient & well coordinated. Our main server Andreas from Milan was charming & he knew it, lol. Well played sir, well played. The bread course was nice. The Caesar salad was nice & tangy, well balanced. My Dover Sole was beautiful. My partners Filet Mignon was gorgeous. The rice, potatoes, carrots & asparagus were all on point. For dessert... the raspberry sorbet was perfect & crème brûlée was divine. After a week of eating at restaurants... including Maison Boulud...this was my favourite meal. I will be there again next time I visit Quebec City.
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 were so impressed with our experience at Le Continental that we returned the very next night! On our first visit, we had the special Flambé duck, which was an absolute delight. The flavors were rich & perfectly balanced, & the tableside preparation added a unique touch to the evening. We couldn't resist coming back the next night to try the Flambé steak, but the duck remained the standout dish-it was truly exceptional. The Caesar salad was fresh & flavorful, & the sweets were the perfect ending to both meals. The service was top-notch, with the staff making us feel welcome & ensuring everything was flawless. Le Continental has certainly earned a special place in our hearts, & we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quebec City! & when we travel again to Quebec City we know where to go from now.
