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.

Tout était excellent, depuis les huîtres & les blinis, les dômes de foie gras, jusqu'au dessert. Très généreuses portions. Une expérience à répéter!

A very fine meal .
The room is beautiful - a very nice ambiance.
The wine pairings were a great complement to the various courses.
The food was all very good . There was nothing that blew me away but everything was very enjoyable although perhaps too much duck (I do like duck - what could be better than a good foie gras). The three duck dishes were all good dishes - the foie gras was exceptional with great tastes to accent the richness of the dish. It is just that their were three duck tastings including the amuse bouche immediately followed by the foie gras. The duck breast was good.
The service was friendly . professional & accommodating . They were able to pair some very nice wines for my partner who didn't want the full pairings - a service that is very appreciated.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant & will go again if back in this beautiful city.

Toujours un plaisir de se retrouver au Saint-Amour. Un personnel accueillant, dévoué & compétent.
Des plats raffinés où les saveurs se marient naturellement les unes aux autres.
Avec des produits du terroir, & un foie gras goûteux, fin, qui fond en bouche.
On veut y retourner.
