About

Founded in 1978 by Jacques Fortier and Jean-Luc Boulay, Le Saint-Amour has become an iconic institution in Quebec City, embodying the influence of Quebec gastronomy. Offering haute French cuisine inspired by exceptional regional products, renowned chef Jean-Luc Boulay and his team combine traditional know-how and modern techniques to pay tribute to local producers and offer a gourmet, refined and unique gastronomic experience.

Le Saint-Amour is ranked among the top 10 favourite fine dining restaurants in Canada by travellers, according to TripAdvisor (2014, 2015, 2016 and 2020 Travellers' Choice Awards). Our wine cellar , housing over 15,000 carefully selected bottles, is also among the top 10 wine selections in Canada, with prestigious vintages from all over the world. Over the years, we have had the honour of welcoming renowned celebrities, such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, Alicia Keys, Johnny Hallyday, Charles Aznavour, and many others, who have chosen Le Saint-Amour during their stay in Quebec City.

Le Saint-Amour was awarded 4 stars by the prestigious Debeur Guide and was crowned Restaurant of the Year in 2011. This recognition is in addition to the many distinctions received by Chef Jean-Luc Boulay : Chevalier de l'Ordre national du Québec in 2024, the highest honorary distinction awarded by the Quebec government, Maître Cuisinier de France, Officier de l'Ordre du Mérite Agricole de France medal, Governor General of Canada's Award for the Arts of the Table, as well as the Prix Hommage Renaud-Cyr. Also recognized for his dedication to passing on his knowledge, Chef Boulay shares his passion with new generations, notably as a permanent judge on the show Les Chefs! , broadcast on Radio-Canada since 2010 and with 13 seasons to date.

An essential address in Old Quebec for local gastronomes and gourmet travelers, Le Saint-Amour embodies excellence and the quest for a culinary experience that is both surprising and unforgettable on a daily basis.

If what you are looking for is an over the top, luxury dining experience where all the best ingredients are carefully prepared by an expert team of chefs & served by an equally talented team of service personnel... this is the place. Every aspect of the meal impressed & the service elevated the food to heights reserved for only the finest of restaurants. Bravo & merci pour une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle!

Chef d'oeuvre dans la présentation vraiment, menu très pointu & recherché, mais un plat plus simple (poulet, boeuf porc ou veau)serait peut-être apprécié.
Service impeccable & agréable.

This could have been the best meal we have ever had anywhere. The decor is beautiful & the service is very attentive without being obtrusive. The food is exquisitely prepared - we had the lamb (3 ways - chop, filet & shoulder) & the squab, which was richly fruity. The chef is known for his foie gras, which did not disappoint. Excellent meal!

Le personnel est charmant & très qualifié, recommandation pour le vin & description des plats à la table , impeccable . Pour l'entrée, belle présentation pour l'expérience du foie gras & l'escalope de foie gras, rien à redire, l'huître avec un soupçon de foie gras , belle découverte! Pour le plat principal, ris de veau etc... peut-être une recommandation de Monsieur Boulay, au Chef, ça manquait un peu de sel? D'épices? Le pigeonneau etc.... Un peu plus de sauce aurait été apprécié. Pour le dessert, ananas etc. Divin, surtout le sorbet aux herbes. Nous avons passé une très agréable & bonne soirée. Note: La vue de votre cave à vin est prestigieuse. Merci à Alexandre qui nous a bien guidé tout au long du repas.
