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.

The 9 course holiday menu was absolutely delicious. My husband & I decided to go with the optional wine pairing as well to complement the meal.
Thanks for a wonderfully delicious Christmas Eve dinner 💗

From the moment we entered everything was perfect & we loved every minute. The service was impeccable, professional & friendly, the food descriptions very precise of very original interpretations of fine, exclusive terroir products. Every bite was a pure delight. The wine suggestions were excellent & paired perfectly with the food. The mood & the decor in the restaurant are classy & conducive to conversation. This is an outstanding restaurant & the price is totally justified for such a memorable experience. Don't forget to check out the extensive wine cellar. Best restaurant in Québec IMHO

My husband & I enjoyed a superb meal at Le Saint-Amour. The service was attentive, very professional & the food was perfection. Our waiter recommended a wine that complimented our meals well. We have eaten here several times over the years when we visit Quebec City & have always had a wonderful experience.

Food was excellent. Service was outstanding. The room is stunning. Extensive wine list (50+ pages) if you're really into wine, but it also included a helpful sommelier's recommendations page with a range of prices for those of us less knowledgeable when it comes to wine.

Six stars if we could. Beautiful ambience paired with gourmet, well thought out cuisine. They made something special for my vegetarian wife that left a smile on her face. Wine list was fantastic as well along with very friendly & intuitive wait staff. Please don't skip dessert! This place has a very special place in our hearts.

Would not go again. The foie gras was excellent. The main course fish was cooked well but it was tasteless. I wanted to go in the kitchen & correct the seasoning & up the flavor. Chocolate mousse was good. Service was terrible. We had at least 5 different people bring us food, drinks, taking orders & there was no continuity. Took forever to get first & second glass of wine. Had much better meals in lesser known & touted restaurants in Quebec.
