We celebrated my partner's Birthday at Le Saint - Amore & it was a wonderful experience on many levels: the food was cooked to perfection: it truly is a dining experience more so than just a dinner, champagne was a great add on, atmosphere was charming & cozy, very attentive Staff. We would definitely recommend it for any celebration!

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.

We were there with a large group. The servers were on top of everyone's orders & very conscious of any special dietary needs. I'm gluten-free, so they made small adjustments to the food to accommodate me & were very kind about it. All of the food was delicious & well presented. I would highly recommend this place for a special night out!

Les gens de mon entourage m'avaient parlé de cet endroit & j'avais hâte de l'essayer. Après une belle facture de 860$, voici mon avis pour éviter que vous ne vous fassiez pigeonner : 1. Le décor est magnifique. 2. L'endroit est propre. 3. Le personnel est professionnel. Seul bémol : la rétention de l'information sur les allergies est défaillante. J'ai failli consommer plusieurs aliments contenant mon allergène. Heureusement, ma serveuse a été très alerte. 4. La nourriture est bonne & recherchée. Point négatif : l'accord mets & vins est, selon moi, trop cher pour la qualité des vins proposés. Recommanderais-je cet endroit ? Je ne sais pas, car vous pouvez avoir la même chose à moitié prix chez Giroux & Petit Groulx.

We had a lovely dinner & enjoyed the wine recommended by the sommelier. The only small complaint is that after being seated we had to wait a long time for service..it seemed like we had been forgotten. Many thanks otherwise.

Quoi que très dispendieux ($690 + pourboire) pour 2, je recommande ce restaurant avec son menu découverte.

Pire rapport qualité-prix pour un restaurant de gastronomie. Une facture de près de 800$ pour 2(2 menu degustation & 2 drinks, aucun vin). Amateurs de vins & de foie gras, vous serez servis. Nous n'aimions pas ces deux choses & je pense que ce devait être leur seule force. Aucun plat ne m'a impressionnée (& je souligne les huîtres tiède en entrée sans mignonette) & je n'ai pas fini 2 assiettes.. Ils ont même oublié un service & nous avons dû leur dire. Aussi, nous avons vérifié la facture seulement à la maison & ils ont chargé mon drink en double & le prix du 3e choix de menu dégustation était erroné, plus cher que ce qu'on nous avais dit à table. La salle du jardin était belle avec les fausses plantes, mais il y en avait une vraie derrière ma place assise & elle était mal entretenue.. Aussi, toiles d'araignées sur les chandelier du mur. Ça en dit long sur le souci du détail d'un restaurant. L'an dernier nous sommes allés à la Tanière & c'était moins cher, avec une expérience absolument incroyable, 17 services, on se déplace dans 3 salles & les serveurs ont dirigés le tout sans fautes. Il y avait même un accord mets-cocktails. C'était simplement la perfection. C'est là que je vous recommande d'aller, ou même au restaurant LeClan. Pour une fraction du prix, vous serez impressionnés & ravis.
