About

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. Also recognized for his dedication to passing on his knowledge, Chef Boulay shares his passion with new generations, notably as a permanent judge on the show Les Chefs! , broadcast on Radio-Canada since 2010 and with 13 seasons to date.

An essential address in Old Quebec for local gastronomes and gourmet travelers, Le Saint-Amour embodies excellence and the quest for a culinary experience that is both surprising and unforgettable on a daily basis.

Service impeccable & la salle est très belle. Les plats manquent un peu de justesse/équilibre dans les saveurs selon mon goût personnel, par rapport au prix payé c'est un peu léger.

Le service & la qualité & les saveurs de la nourriture toujours impeccable. Encore une très belle expérience.
Seul bémol, difficile de trouver un stationnement. Il n'y a plus de valet (en raison de la covid).

OMG !!! Ça fait un moment que je salive pour un menu Découverte à emporter de Jean-Luc Boulay & enfin ça a adonné!
Du plaisir à l'état pur ☀️ De l'accueil aux papilles, en passant par le montage des assiettes 🥰
Aussi, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la fiche technique & l'identification de tous les contenants pour le montage (c'est pas tous les restos qui le font). Un 5 étoiles aussi pour le Sancerre « Sur le Fort, Domaine Fouassier » ! Ouf, quel vin!!
C'est complet, c'est beau, une explosion de saveurs, la totale! À la hauteur de nos attentes !!!
Souci du détail sur toute la ligne... avec l'identification du Saint-Amour sur la boîte & le sac 😎 MERCI & on y reviendra c'est certain!!!

Toujours un plaisir de se retrouver au Saint-Amour. Un personnel accueillant, dévoué & compétent.
Des plats raffinés où les saveurs se marient naturellement les unes aux autres.
Avec des produits du terroir, & un foie gras goûteux, fin, qui fond en bouche.
On veut y retourner.
