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.

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.

Bonjour,
Nous avons vraiment apprécié le service & la bonne nourriture gastronomique. La seule chose chose qui nous laisse un gout amer, c'est que nous avons pris la dégustation à 155 $ chacun mais le serveur nous a dit que c'était servi avec 1 verre de vin pour chaque assiette... mais il ne nous a jamais fait mention que ça coutait 125 $ chacun. Nous pensions que c'était inclu dans le 155 $. Nous avons tout à coup eu mal au coeur quand nous avons vu le montant total de notre facture 707 $. Nous avions dit au serveur que nous ne buvions pas beaucoup d'alcool... il nous a dit: ce sont de très petits verres... Eh bien je suis sortie de là complètement saoule. Nous étions venus pour célébrer notre premier anniversaire de mariage. Nous avions reçu un chèque cadeau de 250 $. On c'était dit que 100 $b ou 150 $ de plus environ. Nous voulions prendre un seul verre de vin car on trouvait ça trop cher pour nous 1/2 litre ou 1 bouteille.
Là, ça nous a couté 250 $ d'alcool ! On n'a jamais payé

Restaurant gastronomique. Belle salle, personnel très agréable, très bon accueil. Les plats sont excellents. Peut-être un peu trop de viande au menu. Plus de légumes dans l'assiette serait une bonne idée. Soirée vraiment plaisante.

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.
