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.

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.

Nous avons adoré ce restaurant lors de notre visite dans le Vieux-Québec. Ambiance, décor, service, menu varié pour tous les goûts, la grande qualité des plats & une excellente sélection de vins. Mon coup de coeur pour l'entrée : expérience de foie gras en cinq façons ! 👌 Merci pour cette belle soirée!

Don't expect to sit in the main dinning room if you don't speak French. I made reservation 1 month ahead & stated that is for our 40th wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were seated in a small dinning room in front of building, we never even saw the main dinning room, I asked our water if there was any available tables in the main dinning room, that is why I booked this restaurant, he came back & said it was fully booked, I don't believed he even asked. It wasn't that we weren't dressed for the nice enough, 2 other couples that were seated in this room both spoke english, there was another couple that spoke french but was dressed in shorts & sneaker, that was probably why they were seated there. The service was slow, partly because our waiter ,the only one for that room spent a tremendous amount of time trying to push some high priced wine from the extensive wine list. We were so frustrated by the time he asked us for the dessert menu, we said no thank you. The english speaking couple hadn't even ordered yet & the were visibly getting frustrated. Bottom line never again unless I take French lessons. The last time we were in Quebec for our 35th anniversary we ate at the Continental, & it was 10 times better. This place is just about presentation & selling high priced wine. There are so many other better restaurant's in Quebec.

Le Saint-Amour est l'endroit parfait pour une soirée spéciale. Le restaurant propose une cuisine raffinée avec des plats créatifs & savoureux. L'atmosphère est élégante & intime, idéale pour un dîner romantique. Le personnel est attentif & professionnel. Les prix sont élevés, mais la qualité de la nourriture & du service justifie le coût. Un véritable coup de coeur.

We visited Le Saint-Amour in Quebec City to celebrate my wife's birthday on August 20, & overall, it was a wonderful experience. The quality of the food was outstanding, with each dish beautifully prepared & full of flavor. The restaurant's decor is elegant & charming, creating a perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Our main waiter was attentive & professional, & the staff who brought & explained each course & cocktail were knowledgeable & added a special touch to the evening. Their detailed explanations enhanced our appreciation of the meal. The only hiccup was that I had noted in the reservation that it was my wife's birthday, & I was hoping for a small acknowledgment or greeting from the staff. Unfortunately, that detail seems to have been missed, & her birthday went unmentioned, which was a bit disappointing. Despite this, Le Saint-Amour delivered an exceptional dining experience, & I would still highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable meal in Quebec City.

Très décevant...plusieurs plats froids. Côtelettes d'agneau, 2 morceaux gros comme des 25 cents... franchement pas raisonnable pour le prix. Un pigeonneau pas cuit...c'était pas notre jour de chance. Pas dans nos plans de retourner sous peu.

Best restaurant in Quebec hands down. Not going to lie, wish there were a bit more accommodating for my requests (spouses's birthday) especially since I made a reservation ahead of time, but I'm glad I stayed for my dinner. Not a single complaint for any of the dishes we ordered. Everything was perfect. Thank you for an exceptional dinner.
