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.

Overall very good. More vegetables would be an improvement. At least one choice of lactose free dessert would have been nice given we gave notice in advance.

La seule chose que je n'ai pas aimé: nous n'avions pas terminé nos apéro que l'entrée nous a été servie.

Une autre soirée des plus agréable, menu des plus intéressant certaines présentations exceptionnelles dont ' l'Huitre '. Le Foie Gras & le Carpaccio de Fromage .
Par contre je garde une petite gêne pour le Parfait glacé
Pour la présentation & le goût 5 étoiles mais il était difficile à manger , difficile de se rendre à la glace sans l'écraser , le biscuit était trop croquant . (J'ai quand même presque tout mangé ) 😋

Excellent food & service. This was a fixed menu for New Year's eve & the only problem with the service was our waiter pushing for upgrades. This should not be happening in a restaurant at this level. We were also seated just below the main dining room & the lighting was terrible & the proximity to the kitchen did not work for us.

Depuis la pandémie, c'était la reprise pour moi de la tradition des réveillons de la Saint-Sylvestre qui remonte à l'époque du resto Chez Rabelais situé alors dans l'escalier entre la rue Sous-le-Fort & la Côte-de-la-Montagne.

L'accueil a été chaleureux & le menu exceptionnel.

Monsieur Pierre Lemay a eu la délicatesse de nous attribuer la table 117 & toute la brigade a été à la hauteur de la réputation de l'établissement.

La créativité & l'équilibre des saveurs tant entre les plats que dans ceux-ci est à souligner.

Une table à la hauteur de celle de Jean-François Piège ou d'Hélène Darroze.

Je n'ai qu'un seul regret & c'est celui d'avoir été prévenu que dans le duo d'huîtres de l'étang de Thau, il y en avait une en trompe-l'oeil.

J'imagine ma surprise lorsque j'aurais saisi sa coquille pour la déguster.

& puis, mais gardons cela entre nous, j'avais le plaisir d'être accompagné de ma fille que je n'avais pas vue depuis un long moment.

La demande en mariage à laquelle nous avons assisté a ajouté une touche de féerie.

C'est notre 6ème fois dans ce restaurant & malheureusement nous avons trouvé que la prestation globale (qualité du service & des plats) a nettement diminuée alors que le tarif est devenu exorbitant : quasiment 600 € pour 2 adultes & 2 enfants sans vin (& oui le serveur a oublié de m'apportez la carte). Dommage pour un restaurant gastronomique.

I think the timing of the food could be synced better with the wine. Also, it is an extremely high price point & the "upsell" when we sat down seemed inappropriate for such a quality establishment. Lastly, for the set NYE menu, it would be appreciated if there were two options for each course.

I think it is worth trying once ...
