Two extravagant evenings. Dined last evening at Le Champlain at the Chateau Frontenac. We ordered the tasting menu paired with wines. A wonderful evening not to be forgotten. Tonight we dined at Le Saint Amour & selected the tasting menu paired with wines. Huge negative contrast. Waited one half hour before waiter came to table. We watched as a limited staff slowly took orders. An offering of a proseco or a taste of wine would have helped. The evening proceeded at a snails pace. Wine pours were embarrassingly minute. Paired wines, cutlery food coordination unworthy of this highly recommended restaurant. Our Canadian next table neighbors were equally less than happy with their experience. It's a shame. The decor of the restaurant is worthy of a visit, but I suggest Le Champlain for a truly gourmet experience

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.
