Le Continental est largement reconnu comme une destination gastronomique de premier plan à Québec, célébrée pour son élégance intemporelle et sa cuisine française classique. Les convives soulignent fréquemment l'atmosphère unique du vieux monde et la préparation exceptionnelle des plats devant la table, tels que la salade César signature, divers steaks flambés et les crêpes Suzette, qui offrent un spectacle culinaire captivant et mémorable. 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. Bien que l'expérience soit souvent notée comme un investissement important, la plupart des visiteurs considèrent que la combinaison d'une cuisine de haute qualité, d'un service expert et d'un charme nostalgique justifie largement le coût pour des occasions spéciales ou pour vivre une expérience gastronomique incontournable.
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!
Pour notre 45 E Anniversaire de mariage, on voulait revenir dans le « temps » avec le repas flambé à la table qui, malheureusement, n'existe presque plus. Un service d'excellence avec « notre serveur Mathieu C » ,& le reste du personnel. Salade Caesar, chateaubriand flambé, pêches flambées & la petite surprise avec 2 chandelles. Merci Mathieu C. C'est à refaire.
We dined at LeContinental restaurant on Wednesday , June 28, 2023. We always seek this restaurant out when we come here because of its exceptional food, beautiful decor & exemplary service. This restaurant not only receives accolades for its cuisine but this is where you must come to have flambé showcased. A bottle of wine to celebrate life as ordered & we did toast to Life. We then began with Cesar salad prepared table side; we then indulged in lobster flambé with a new burg sauce that was to die for. Dover sole was deboned tableside & a delectable salmon dish was presented at our table. Potatoes au gratin was rich in taste & a great accompaniment with our entrees. Lastly, we simply could not end this dinner experience without ordering something that our waiter could flambé. So crepes Suzette & cherries jubilee was ordered & set a flame. It was a spectacular evening & will be one for the memory book.
