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.

J'aime le calme de ce restaurant & le service impeccable. Une grande découverte culinaire dans toutes les assiettes mais ma préférée demeure les ris de veau... Quel délice ❤️

I will divide my review into 3 sections 1) Restaurant décor & setting: gorgeous & very fancy - nice interior design & lighting & amazingly very well maintained (as the building itself is pretty old). 2) Food - of course, it is a high quality restaurant with high quality food (if you order a la carte). If you let the server talk you into a mystery menu or degustation menu, hmmm not that great & certainly way, way overpriced. Foie gras is their specialty & is very good, but please ensure you choose your own preferred items. Do not fall for the wine pairing if you are not there for the wine tasting. Way too pricey & a gimmick to make you spend more. 3) Service - we had a tad obnoxious & even condescending waiter, We were celebrating our anniversary & ordered some glasses of Champagne. He was trying to impress us with "this is Queen Elizabeth's favorite champagne/ this was XYZ's favorite this & that" making it sound like we were easy-to-impress peasants. & when we told him "we are not here for the alcohol, but the food", his reply was "I shall find something that caters to your BUDGET!!" to which I replied "oh no, cater it to YOURS, it will be simpler!". He dropped the attitude. We still ended up with close to $1000 for 2 & even with a very generous tip, we got the dirty look when we left. So overall, a very nice restaurant if you know what you want, & try not to get intimidated by the staff - it is a restaurant not the Cannes Festival.

Food fantastic. But wine experience was a disaster. So called "sommelier" tries to sell much too old wines at tourists.

Where do I even begin?! We went to celebrate my husband's birthday. We got to visit their wine cellar & it was such a special moment. What a treat! Our waiter took time & effort to explain everything about the cellar. The menu was great, their lobster dish was superb. The fois gras experience was super fun! Overall Aesthetic of the place was great. It was very cozy. Perfect place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

Fine dining restaurant in old Quebec. Prices really elevated. Cuisine is good, but not good enough for the price you pay. I wouldn't try it again.
