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.

My wife & I just spent 4 days in Quebec City & saved our dinner at Le Saint-Amour until the last evening. It was a special Birthday dinner for my wife & we could not have had a better experience. Everything about the evening was world class. The food, the atmosphere, the attentive, polite & knowledgeable staff were all amazing. We highly recommend Le Saint-Amour & think it will be a highlight of your time in Quebec City too!

This restaurant is extremely overrated. Very small portions, of quite tasteless food--if not for the sauces. Their fois gras was tasteless--not worth the cost. The wine paring was dreadful. Can't recommend this place.
