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.

The service was efficient. Team of servers worked well together. Warm welcome & departure. Plating of courses for tasting menu was interesting & appealing until the main course, piglet, which was so disappointing to the point of being a turnoff. We were offered a special dessert to compensate but weren't interested by that time. Foie gras course was highlight.

Nourriture parfaite sauf un des desserts. Carte des vins OK mais certains prix excessifs, Un problème: attente inutile de plus de 30 minutes avant le plat principal. Service Ok sauf pressions pour faire des choix plus couteux.

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.

Nous sommes retournés au St-Amour après plus de 25 ans alors que notre dernier repas s'était déroulé dans l'ancienne verrière. Nous avions fréquenté cette grande table à quelques reprises & à chaque fois, c'était un grand moment de découvertes gastronomiques. Force est de constater que les standards ont été maintenus. Les plats principaux & les desserts sont des expériences visuelles & gustatives en soi. Le catalogue des vins est impressionnant. Les service est parfait & stylé. Nous avions le forfait avec le Manoir Victoria & cette formule nous permis de renouer avec le Vieux-Québec & de renouer avec cette ambiance exceptionnelle. Nous reviendrons.

Les plats étaient tous délicieux & recherchés, de la mise en bouche au dessert. L'atmosphère de la salle à manger est convivial tout en préservant un espace personnel à chacun. Petit bémol, nous avons accepté de boire un verre de Chablis avec l'entrée mais il nous fut servi plusieurs minutes avant que le plat n'arrive à notre table, Nous aurions apprécié une meilleure coordination pour pouvoir savourer ce vin à la bonne température avec notre plat.

This experience was "over the top". Alex attended to us. We had dinner in the Garden room. All tables were occupied. Our reservation was for 6:15 pm. For the experience we shared one of the appetizers & we each had an entree. The entrees were excellently & artistically prepared. The menus was printed in both French & English. ALL of the staff were bi-lingual. For a French meal experience this is the place! The manager at our hotel raised his eyebrows in approval when we told him we were going to Le Saint-Amour for dinner. We were there 2.5 hours. One of the neighboring tables had a flaming creme-brulee for dessert. We opted out for dessert but had coffee. They also acknowledged our 44th Anniv.! Atmosphere, decor, service & food were all an experience to remember!

Such a friendly place to have an elegant dinner. My husband is handicapped & we've never had such a warm greeting & care. The food was first class. I've never had foie gras before; it was luscious. The dessert was the best thing I've ever eaten. You cannot go wrong following the waiter's guidance.

Excellente suggestion de vins.
Entrées de foie gras toutes parfaitement réussies.
Plats principaux : le riz de veau un peu trop cuit. Par contre pétoncles bien exécutés, présentation & cuisson remarquables.
Les desserts sublimes !
