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.
We have had many wonderful meals in beautiful Quebec City over the past week, but last night's meal at Le Continental was as close to perfection as it gets. From the warm & inviting elegant ambience to the attentive & professional staff, it could not be better. The food was fabulous. We had the chateaubriand for 2 & the steak was cooked at our table. The accompanying dauphinois potatoes , spinach, asparagus & carrots were superb. My husband started with oysters & I had the turnip soup (delicious). Dessert was sorbet & also the maple & pecan cake. The food was beautifully prepared, hot, & truly the best meal we have had in a long time. I felt the prices were very fair. All in all, a wonderful evening. Thank you to all who served us. Special thanks to the chef & to two of our servers, Hugo & Mathieu.
Superbe experience au Continental, cuisine & service a la hauteur de nos attentes. Bon vin & un dessert exquis !!!!! Un restaurant qui vaut le detour dans la ville de Quebec.
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.

Personnel affable & serviable. Carte de vins impressionnante & les prix sont à l'avenant. Le crabe sauce hollandaise comme entrée est décevant. Aucune saveur. Par contre, la pièce de viande servie était cuite à souhait & délicieuse. Comme dessert, les crêpes Suzette sont un must.
One of the best dining experience ever. Our waiter, Nicholas, was very nice & knowledgeable. The food was fantastic & cooked right at our desk. My wife & I celebrated an anniversary dinner. We had escargot & pate for appetizers. For the main course we ordered the filet & shrimp which they split between us. We finished the night with the crepes for dessert. Absolutely amazing experience.
I just can say it was a so-so experience dining here, but there are a few things I would like to mention: For food: 1. I ordered a side dish of lobster tail. It was extremely salty & didn't seem very fresh. 2. The orange duck was overly sweet. 3. The foie gras was cold when served. I expected it to be a hot dish, wasn't it? The steak was overdone (I ordered medium-well). For service: 1. The waiter kept talking with the guests seated near us while preparing our food. I'm not complaining-it's part of the service-but I felt it wasn't very hygienic to talk over the food. 2. The date I went to the restaurant was my father's birthday. I left a note when booking the table online, & they kindly prepared a candle on the dessert I ordered. Overall, I'm quite disappointed with the experience. It wasn't what I expected based on the reviews I read. However, this is just my experience. I wanted to share it for those considering this restaurant in Old Quebec City.
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.
Wonderful experience. The food & wine were amazing, & the staff was friendly & attentive. Especially Andrea who convinced us to try his signature black tea flambe for dessert, which was SO good. I highly recommend this restaurant.
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.
Excellent, comme toujours. Rien à changer à la formule. Nous y allons chaque année pour notre dessert préféré, les crêpes Suzette. Un petit bémol: courant d'air froid venant du plafond.
