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.

My husband & I recently enjoyed a mini honeymoon in Quebec City (July 30-Aug 1) & were strongly encouraged to visit Le Saint-Amour for a special dinner. At the end of the night, we both looked at each other & said this was the best meal of our lives! We both ordered the Chef's 7-course tasting menu along with the wine pairings. Each meal & wine combination was simply divine. We even bought one of the wines to enjoy at our 1st anniversary next year & commemorate this dinner. Highly recommend this elegant establishment for any celebration.

Wonderful ambiance in my the main room, food was exceptional as well. We probably had our best dressed oyster in a very long time, even ordered two extra separate from the foie gras experience.

Service in the beginning was slow, the sommelier was serving our table & had multiple tables he was serving wine, so it took 30-40 minutes before we had our first drink, but afterwards service was on point. Other servers should be able to bring drinks to any table when the sommelier is occupied. The support staff & maitre d' we're wonderful otherwise & always had a smile.

We would come back for sure.

Outstanding tasting menu. Every dish had its own personality & creativity to make it stand out.book early as they are quite popular. A sommelier would be nice as the wine list is extensive. Attire recommendations should lean towards dress attire. Allowing shorts & open toed mens sandals should not be allowed. It will set it apart & give it the audience it deserves.

Excellent anbience, meal & service! We are happy we chose the tasting menu - each course was superb. One of us got the wine pairing & those choices were terrific but it's a lot of wine! Totally worth the price!!
