Un incontournable: à essayer au moins une fois dans votre vie! Le Saint Amour est sans contester le meilleur restaurant dans lequel j'ai mangé! C'est un joyaux! Jean-Luc Boulay est un magicien dans une cuisine, un dieu de la gastronomie. Les saveurs sont sublimes, les portions sont généreuses & le décors est enchanteur. Le Saint Amour, c'est mon amour!

Je n'ai que de bons mots pour décrire notre soirée d'hier soir au Saint-Amour. Un grand moment d'extase, un florilège de saveurs, de textures & d'intensité.
Un manège, que dis-je, une fête foraine d'explosions gustatives & une palette de couleurs & de senteurs qui ont régalé tous nos sens.
La cuisine du Saint-Amour c'est de l'Art...

Tout à ce restaurant est une symphonie parfaitement orchestrée où tous vos sens sont éblouis par les lignes conductrices que sont l'élégance, le raffinement, la somptuosité; le talent culinaire du chef Jean-Luc Boulay, à la fois dans le mariage des saveurs & dans la présentation artistiquement soignée, vous rappelle ces trois lignes à chaque bouchée.
La symphonie est parfaitement menée par un service de haute qualité & attentionné. En somme, on se souvient d'une expérience culinaire & artistique qui transcende l'idée de ce qu'est la grande gastronomie. Cinq étoiles.

Nous avons eu un excellent service. Comme nous ne buvons pas d'alcool, nous avons grandement apprécié d'être reconnu comme de bons clients quand même. Nous avons pris le menu confiance. La presentation de l'assiette de veau (forme de billot) nous a légèrement coupé l'appétit. Les saveurs de tous les services étaient bonnes. Même si ça n'a pas été des saveurs wow pour nous, nous avons beaucoup aimé l'huître pochée (une première pour les huîtres pour nous), le flétan & le dessert. Merci!
