A very special evening with amazing cuisine & friendly & attentive service. My husband had the seven course tasting menu & the wine pairings. I had the red tuna entree & bites of all of those seven courses. A worthwhile splurge in every respect.

Wow , where to start, an absolute perfect evening from our champagne to begin our evening to our final dessert wine, extraordinaire! The tasting menu a life memory, Magdalene Islands scallop cevich is a work of art belonging in 3 star Michelin restaurant. The service was both elegant & friendly with our waiter, Danny, giving us all we needed to have a fantastic experience. Le Saint Armour is without doubt one of the finest restaurants in Quebec & receives my highest recommendation.

My partner & I shared the most extraordinary dining experience at Le Saint-Amour this past Wednesday evening. We were in Quebec City for only two days, & the spectacular reviews plus the location (We were staying at Chez Marie Claire, a few doors down on Ste Ursule) inspired us to call for a reservation. We were seated at a beautiful table in the garden setting at the rear of the restaurant. Our servers throughout the evening were attentive & knowledgeable & spoke perfect English, which was a wonderful bonus. We chose the 7 course tasting menu & every single plate was a masterpiece. Both of us love food & by half way through the meal we both were agreeing that it was absolutely the best meal either of us had ever had in our lives. Every single bite is as well thought-out as it is delectable. Our waiter suggested a fabulous red wine that we enjoyed throughout the meal. We were there for 3 hours & it flew by. We left the restaurant & wandered down to the Basse-Ville for a walk in simply the best of moods from our incredible dinner together. Truly a magical place, can't wait to return!
