Un décor très agréable, un service parfait, des plats magnifiques & très bons. Une adresse que je recommande

Cuisine très classique, raffinée & exécutée à la perfection. Tous les plats étaient soignés & délicieux. Carte des vins impressionnante & très bons conseils de notre serveur Pierre. Plutôt déçus de notre accueil toutefois; alors qu'on patientait dans l'entrée, à 5 reprises un employé est passé à côté de nous sans même nous dire bonjour ou nous dire que quelqu'un serait avec nous sous peu, on se sentait complètement ignorés. Une fois réellement accueillis & conduits à notre table, le service était toutefois irréprochable. Ambiance & décor un peu vieux jeu, mais je comprends qu'on ne change pas une institution comme le Saint-Amour! Facture un peu salée lorsqu'on compare à d'autres restaurants du même calibre qui se distinguent davantage à mon avis. Néanmoins je recommande d'y aller au moins une fois pour l'essayer, c'était une agréable expérience & nous nous sommes régalés.

Dès l'entrée, l'accueil est chaleureux. L'ambiance est très agréable & le décor est magnifique. Pour moi, ce fut une excellente découverte. La cuisine est exquise, avec des saveurs à découvrir, préparée avec des ingrédients locaux, un vrai plus, & le souci du détail est évident. Le service est également impeccable. Je le recommande sans hésiter, vous vivrez une expérience inoubliable. J'y ai fêté l'anniversaire de mon mari & le mien, un très beau souvenir.

Dès notre arrivée, tout dans ce restaurant respirait l'élégance & le raffinement. L'ambiance était chaleureuse, la décoration magnifique, & la musique créait une atmosphère parfaite pour la soirée.

La nourriture était tout simplement exceptionnelle, chaque plat était savoureux, soigneusement présenté & préparé avec une attention remarquable.

Mais ce qui a vraiment rendu l'expérience unique, c'est le service. Notre serveur était incroyablement bien informé, passionné & captivant. Il nous a expliqué les vins & les ingrédients avec une richesse de détails & une touche de storytelling qui ont transformé le repas en véritable voyage culinaire.

Ce n'était pas seulement un souper, c'était une expérience mémorable. J'y retournerai sans hésiter. ❤?Je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui cherchent une sortie raffinée & marquante.

Un'grand' restaurant qui vaut le détour... Tout est réuni ici pour passer un moment inoubliable ! Le décor est remarquable & à nul autre pareil, un jardin romantique à l'intérieur, c'est féérique !
Quand au plaisir des papilles, le chef français & sa brigade vous régalent de l'entrée au dessert ;-) sans oublier un très bon accueil & un service irréprochable. Un peu plus cher que la moyenne mais complètement justifié, c'est une cuisine à la fois gastronomique & généreuse. Nous avons adoré !

Simply the Best restaurant in Quebec City. Convenient location in the heart of Old Town. Perfect place for any special occasion birthday or anniversary date. The 7 course French tasting menu is superb & offers the best of local meats & fruits. The preparation is exquisite & so delicious. Small portions are just right. Knowledgeable & friendly staff. The main dining room is beautifully decorated like Belle Epoque Paris. With wine, tax (15% in Canada ! ) & tip we spent $535 Canadian which is only about $387 US dollars total for 2 people. Well worth it for such a memorable dinner.

Two extravagant evenings. Dined last evening at Le Champlain at the Chateau Frontenac. We ordered the tasting menu paired with wines. A wonderful evening not to be forgotten. Tonight we dined at Le Saint Amour & selected the tasting menu paired with wines. Huge negative contrast. Waited one half hour before waiter came to table. We watched as a limited staff slowly took orders. An offering of a proseco or a taste of wine would have helped. The evening proceeded at a snails pace. Wine pours were embarrassingly minute. Paired wines, cutlery food coordination unworthy of this highly recommended restaurant. Our Canadian next table neighbors were equally less than happy with their experience. It's a shame. The decor of the restaurant is worthy of a visit, but I suggest Le Champlain for a truly gourmet experience

Nous avons adoré ce restaurant lors de notre visite dans le Vieux-Québec. Ambiance, décor, service, menu varié pour tous les goûts, la grande qualité des plats & une excellente sélection de vins. Mon coup de coeur pour l'entrée : expérience de foie gras en cinq façons ! 👌 Merci pour cette belle soirée!

We visited Le Saint-Amour in Quebec City to celebrate my wife's birthday on August 20, & overall, it was a wonderful experience. The quality of the food was outstanding, with each dish beautifully prepared & full of flavor. The restaurant's decor is elegant & charming, creating a perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Our main waiter was attentive & professional, & the staff who brought & explained each course & cocktail were knowledgeable & added a special touch to the evening. Their detailed explanations enhanced our appreciation of the meal. The only hiccup was that I had noted in the reservation that it was my wife's birthday, & I was hoping for a small acknowledgment or greeting from the staff. Unfortunately, that detail seems to have been missed, & her birthday went unmentioned, which was a bit disappointing. Despite this, Le Saint-Amour delivered an exceptional dining experience, & I would still highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable meal in Quebec City.

Venez régaler vos papilles dans ce magnifique restaurant doté d'un jardin intérieur au décor bucolique. Une expérience gustative inoubliable composée d'une entrée de foie gras divine, d'un carpaccio de pétoncle sublime & de ris de veaux tendres à souhait. L'expérience gastronomique 7 service s'est avéré un sans faute. La carte des vins est exceptionnelle & le service est des plus attentionné, sympathique & irréprochable tant au niveau des explications que des exigences particulières. Tout simplement le meilleur repas de notre vie. Mille mercis.
