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.
Tuxedos & flames by your table as your meals are cooked to perfection. Traditional French dinning at its best when you witness how butter can turn into different amazing flavorful sauces that blend in harmony with the different types of foods. Come here again in a decade & you wish time sits still & nothing changes here.
This wonderful classic Quebec City French restaurant was a perfect way to celebrate a 40th Wedding Anniversary trip. The staff was welcoming , & professional . We enjoyed our'flambe expert' & excellent waiter Dennis. We started off with the Escargots, I chose the fresh Lobster & Dennis created Lobster Newburg table side for us. My husband chose the Filet Mignon, also prepared tableside with Dennis' finesse. Both dishes were heaven to eat! .They came with Asparagus, delicious chopped carrots & either Parmesan potatoes or saffron rice. We truly wanted to try one of the the crepes for 2 for dessert, but we were full from dinner. I wanted to try something I hadn't had before & we shared the baked Alaska. Grand Marnier was poured over the frozen dessert table side & lit. It was refreshing & delicious with a beautiful orange flavor that came thru nicely after the alcohol burned off . I hope to return again sometime in the future . Merci Beaucoup to Le Continental for a lovely, memorable celebration dinner .
Reserved table for 5 including three children (one infant in stroller) to celebrate spouse's birthday for which the host & servers were accommodating & engaging throughout the meal. Table side food prep &'fire' did not disappoint, however the food itself does not justify the cost. Ordered filet mignon, orange duck, veal sweetbreads ravioli, sea scallops, escargot, & a birthday cake slice, total came out to around 311CAD pre-tip. Enjoyed the first time experience of French dining, but do not plan on going back.
I've been coming here since a child & now enjoy it even more as an adult. This is a dying breed of dining. Old school French with career servers that are amazing at what they do. & of course the food is amazing.
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!
What a wonderful dinner at Le Continental during I stayed in Quebec. Food is tasty, outstanding service, very comfy atmosphere, specially give a big applaud to Yeesom (hope I spell his name correctly), I will highly recommend to all my friends & families, a must try French restaurant in 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.
