Une expérience unique dans la restauration, flambés & service de classe par des hommes bien habillés

Hands down the best meal I've ever had in Québec.

We started with the seafood platter & Sauvignon Blanc by the glass. For main we had the duck à l'orange flambé for two with a delightful Haut-Médoc.

The service was amazing. We wanted for nothing & the staff anticipated everything we asked for before we asked for it. Our duck came to the table pre-roasted & the waiter flambéed it at the table.

An unforgettable evening.

Exquisite food & flambé combinations. Duck was superb. Classic French service at your table & food.

If for no other reason you come here for the spectacle of a room full of table side meal flambé preparations. Be prepared to be impressed. People come in dressed & casual as well. The staff are all seriously dressed & you know when you get here you’re really in for a treat.

The steaks wouldn’t be my favorite - I generally prefer seasoned steaks - but once in awhile you want to full flambé with cream sauce & brandy treatment. & this is it. To a person everyone I saw in the restaurant was saying this was the best meal they had had in a long time. Very nice wine list as well. Definitely a must visit spot for dinner.

Our waiter Brian was friendly, attentive & very professional. From our arrival & greeting by the maître d'hotel to our departure we were made to feel that they were there to make our evening memorable, & they did.
The escargots, lobster bisque were superb & watching the artistry of Brian making the Caesar salad was entertaining. He went on the explain the subtleties in taste of each ingredient from anchovy paste to red wine vinegar & everything in between & how each would affect the taste & when done each bite of the fresh crisp romaine with just enough dressing on each bite was a tasting adventure. Each morsel of our two main courses of grilled giant scallops & of whiskey flambé shrimp in a rich cream sauce which was prepared at the table side literally teased our taste buds & brought delight. The accompaniments of a pyramid of rice & asparagus tips & carrot Vichy complemented very well our main. The recommended white Sancerre wine blended well with both main courses. We ended our culinary adventure with a chocolate mousse & a generous slice of maple sugar pie both of which were rich in flavour. The Brazilian coffee with the caramelized sugar from a generous serving of flambé cognac, Tia Maria & an amazing generous flamed pouring of Grand Marnier was something to see prepared artistically at the table. Would we go again? In a heart beat. It was two & a half hours of culinary perfection & taste. Pierre & Karen, Ottawa.

Love the smell & atmosphere. Love the service!
Seared Foie gras is phenomenal !
Escargot is so so!
Salmon is delicious without sauce. Lol
Duck for 2 is disappointing, below our expectation. First, the server brought us a cold duck, which made him hard to carve. We saw other tables' ducks were steam hot. Secondly, he put too much sauce when he flambéed the duck. Lastly, the duck is too sweat & tough for our taste buds.
Dessert & drinks are not bad.
Overall, experience is ok. But did not taste the real French cuisine we were expecting!
Sincerely wish the continental succeed!

Toujours un plaisir de prendre le repas au Continental, service hors pair de notre serveur Denis

La bisque de homard goûte le ciel , les pétoncles cuit à la perfection & que des crevettes flambées qui sont simplement exquises

Tout cela accompagné de notre vin préféré Le Caymus

A bientôt

Cozy, old restaurant in the heart of Quebec City. Had the flambé shrimp which was excellent. Excellent wine menu & service.
