A very nice time. The tasting menu was a fun evening, Service was five star with a minor bar glitch which was rectified immediately. It balanced out with their moving us to the elegant main dining room from the overflow room (still romantic). All in all a superb evening with a nice touch of birthday flourish on the dessert plate for my lady. Well done;

This stunning, gourmet restaurant is treat. Familiar dishes are reborn as amazing appetizers, mains or desserts. The surroundings are lovely, the wine list is incredible, & the service staff have your interest at heart. Yes, it's expensive but not incredibly so & a visit will make any occasion a special one.

Le menu dégustation sur la carte du printemps est très bien. L'accord des vins proposé par Alexandre est exceptionnel. Pour ma part, du jamais vu. Chaque membre du personnel depuis notre arrivée au restaurant jusqu'au dessert à la table est hors pair, attentif, courtois & professionnel. Chacun a pris le soin de bien répondre à nos questions.
C'était notre première visite depuis le déconfinement. De deux choses l'une : soit nous avions oublié la qualité exceptionnelle du personnel, le service & le
menu ; soit que chaque élément de l'institution du Chef Jean-Luc Boulay & son personnel ont réussi à encore nous surprendre e nous épaté.

Le Saint- Amour was a truly wonderful experience, beginning with a perfectly crafted Manhattan through to the flambéed creme brûlée with marshmallows to toast for dessert! The bison & sea bass were cooked to perfection & married beautifully with their respectful accompaniments. Our server, Zackary, was terrific. He handled us, enjoyably, with great professionalism & a mix of humor! Le Saint-Amour will definitely be on our list the next time we visit Quebec City.

Beautiful restaurant setting. Very limited menu. Hard for us to find anything we wanted. They were out of halibut & substituted cod. No vegetables or salads offered. Food was fancy but not flavorful. Desserts were pretty but again not flavorful. I know it's a popular spot but not for me. Also the service was slow. 30 minutes till we even got a drink.

Ils peuvent se vanter d'avoir un grand Chef & toute une équipe de professionnels pour notre grand bonheur d'avoir vécue une soirée exceptionnelle. Le menu gastronomique offert & les plats choisis étaient dignes des plus grands restos, de la mise en bouche jusqu'au dessert tant dans leur raffinement que dans la présentation. Le personnel en salle de cette belle équipe ajoute à notre expérience. Bravo au chef & à tout l'équipe.
