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. Over the years, we have had the honour of welcoming renowned celebrities, such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, Alicia Keys, Johnny Hallyday, Charles Aznavour, and many others, who have chosen Le Saint-Amour during their stay in Quebec City.

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.

Facile de préparer le menu à la maison. Portions généreuses. Ça fait du bien de briser notre routine avec de nouvelles saveurs. Coup de coeur pour la sauce cacao & poivre.
Merci de nous offrir ce service dans cette période de confinement.

Rien de négatif ... tout est fait avec soin.
De l'accueil avec le sourire, à la décoration dans un bâtiment d'époque qui est mis en évidence.
Ce qui est à un niveau supérieur est la dégustation des plats réussi de mains de maître...
la présentation donne faim & les saveurs exceptionnelles, la fraîcheur des produits locaux & les portions généreuses font que le souper est transformé en expérience culinaire & ainsi le prix élevé devient un investissement.
