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.
Le Continental was a spectacular experience all around. It is old world luxury, traditional French steakhouse & the very best in service all at once. We are grateful to have had the experience of dining at Le Continental. When we return to Quebec City, we will return to Le Continental.
We spent a long weekend in Quebec City & selected three highly rated restaurants for dinner, one for each evening. The experience at Le Continental was by far the worst of all three, from the perspective of the quality of the food. We are well traveled & have dined at numerous Michelin starred restaurants around the world, so we aren't concerned about the price of the meal, but we expect the food to be worthy of the price. Le Continental delivers great service & a trip back in time to what fine dining represented in the 1960's, but unfortunately the food remains stuck in the past. The Cesar Salad dressing had way too much raw garlic, the cheese croquettes were cold & the cheese still hard, our duck was overcooked & needed every bit of sauce to compensate for its dryness, the French fries were over-salted, etc. Overall the meal was poor or average at best. We dined at two other excellent restaurants in Quebec City for the price of the one meal at Le Continental & both of those meals were memorable for all the right reasons. We will not be dining here again.

First-class cuisine, wines, & service. It's definitely a "date" spot. Staff are in tuxedos/dinner jackets, so dress appropriately. The ability to speak French is appreciated but not necessary.
Rack of lamb was cooked to order. 5 ribs (2 doubles & a single), but the ability to carve it with utensils is a must. 😉 Potatoes & vegetables were properly done, not cooked to death. A memorable spot.
Great classic French restaurant where they cook many dishes tableside. I highly recommend a Rodney Strong Pinot Noir for a red wine. We got the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection at our table. Vegetable side were great & the additional cream spinach & augratin potatoes were perfect. The texture & temperature of the steak was perfect. I prefer a little more seasoning, otherwise great cut that you should try. The escargot in garlic butter is very good. The lobster bisque is not something I would order again. It seems flour based vs creamy, a little fishy & the lobster was not prepared well (chewy). The service was great. Highly recommend this place.
It was our pleasure to dine at Le Continental on Thursday, 8 Sep at the strong recommendation by a good friend & lifetime resident from Quebec City. Visiting for our first time from Edmonton, Alberta, we were impressed by the welcoming greeting, accommodating seating, & attentive service. Denis, our server, prepared the Ceasar salad, Steak en boite, & Crepes Suzettes with great care & entertaining flame right at table side. Accompanied by an excellent French red wine from their extensive options, the entire meal was absolutely wonderful. We know our beef, & this was second to none, including to ensure it being cooked just right per request. As part of a 40 year marriage trip & celebration, it was the perfect place.
Merci, Denis & tout le monde at Le Continental. We look forward to future opportunity when in Quebec again. Hopefully soon!
