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.

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.

Still one of the very best in Quebec City. We celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary & all was wonderful as usual. Always excellent food, preparation, presentation & service. One of the best wine lists in the city. Highly recommend & we will return again on our next visit to QC.

One of the best meals we've had in our lives. We started with the scallop caviar ravioli. Note, this is just 1 ravioli so it's ideal for 1 person. The scallop was perfectly cooked & the caviar complimented the sauce perfectly. For our main dishes I had the lamb which came with a side of filet mignon. Hands down the best lamb I've ever had. My fiancé got the halibut with an almond type crust. It was also one of the best fish meals we've ever tried. For wine, I recommend the Bendol Chateau de Pibarnon - it was a dry rosé & it went well with every dish we had. You must check Le Saint-Amour out for a truly fine dining experience. We highly recommend.

Le personnel est charmant & très qualifié, recommandation pour le vin & description des plats à la table , impeccable . Pour l'entrée, belle présentation pour l'expérience du foie gras & l'escalope de foie gras, rien à redire, l'huître avec un soupçon de foie gras , belle découverte! Pour le plat principal, ris de veau etc... peut-être une recommandation de Monsieur Boulay, au Chef, ça manquait un peu de sel? D'épices? Le pigeonneau etc.... Un peu plus de sauce aurait été apprécié. Pour le dessert, ananas etc. Divin, surtout le sorbet aux herbes. Nous avons passé une très agréable & bonne soirée. Note: La vue de votre cave à vin est prestigieuse. Merci à Alexandre qui nous a bien guidé tout au long du repas.

Our recent visit to Le Saint-Amour was an unparalleled experience that exceeded our every expectation. In celebration of my wife's birthday, we were seeking an unforgettable dining experience, & Le Saint-Amour delivered in spades.

Our family arrived late due to unforeseen confusion. The staff graciously accommodated us without hesitation, demonstrating an exceptional level of customer service from the outset. As we dined with our energetic two-year-old, we were initially concerned about potentially disrupting other guests. However, the staff's keen attentiveness quickly assuaged our worries as they offered to open a separate room for our comfort & enjoyment.

Their thoughtfulness extended to the culinary experience as well. Understanding our vegetarian preferences, they crafted a remarkable seven-course tasting menu that accommodated our dietary restrictions. Each dish showcased the kitchen's creativity, attention to detail, & commitment to using high-quality ingredients.

The wait staff were warm, helpful, & friendly, further elevating our experience. Having had the pleasure of dining at upscale restaurants worldwide, I can confidently say that Le Saint-Amour stands out as the best we've encountered. The exquisite food, attentive service, & genuine care for our comfort made our celebration truly unforgettable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Le Saint-Amour to anyone seeking a phenomenal dining experience, regardless of the occasion. From its exceptional cuisine to its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, this restaurant has solidified its place among the very best in the world.

Très déçue les plats ne sont pas équilibrés au niveau des saveurs, la sauce à la viande servie dans trois plats différents prend trop le dessus. Seuls la bouchée apéritive & le dessert étaient bons, nous avions pris le menu sept services. Je ne recommande pas.
