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.

C'est une belle expérience! Malheureusement, les prix sont exorbitants, exagérés. Nous ne pensons pas y retourner.

Quoi que très dispendieux ($690 + pourboire) pour 2, je recommande ce restaurant avec son menu découverte.

Our second visit to Le Saint-Amour was every bit as excellent as our first visit, one year ago. The setting is intimate, with a cheeky nod to ‘elegant-boudoir', & the entire service team welcoming, professional & highly informed. The menu is knowledgeably described, beautifully presented, exquisitely delicious. Despite the many fine choices to dine in Quebec City, we will return to Le Saint-Amour again, & again...

Pire rapport qualité-prix pour un restaurant de gastronomie. Une facture de près de 800$ pour 2(2 menu degustation & 2 drinks, aucun vin). Amateurs de vins & de foie gras, vous serez servis. Nous n'aimions pas ces deux choses & je pense que ce devait être leur seule force. Aucun plat ne m'a impressionnée (& je souligne les huîtres tiède en entrée sans mignonette) & je n'ai pas fini 2 assiettes.. Ils ont même oublié un service & nous avons dû leur dire. Aussi, nous avons vérifié la facture seulement à la maison & ils ont chargé mon drink en double & le prix du 3e choix de menu dégustation était erroné, plus cher que ce qu'on nous avais dit à table. La salle du jardin était belle avec les fausses plantes, mais il y en avait une vraie derrière ma place assise & elle était mal entretenue.. Aussi, toiles d'araignées sur les chandelier du mur. Ça en dit long sur le souci du détail d'un restaurant. L'an dernier nous sommes allés à la Tanière & c'était moins cher, avec une expérience absolument incroyable, 17 services, on se déplace dans 3 salles & les serveurs ont dirigés le tout sans fautes. Il y avait même un accord mets-cocktails. C'était simplement la perfection. C'est là que je vous recommande d'aller, ou même au restaurant LeClan. Pour une fraction du prix, vous serez impressionnés & ravis.

My wife & I just spent 4 days in Quebec City & saved our dinner at Le Saint-Amour until the last evening. It was a special Birthday dinner for my wife & we could not have had a better experience. Everything about the evening was world class. The food, the atmosphere, the attentive, polite & knowledgeable staff were all amazing. We highly recommend Le Saint-Amour & think it will be a highlight of your time in Quebec City too!

The complete evening was superb from start to finish. We arrived for dinner a little early. This wasn't a problem. We were greeted warmly & quickly escorted to our table in a beautiful setting. Dinner was filled with a superb range of exquisite tastes whilst being served by attentive waiters. An evening to savour & remember.

Tout d'abord, mon conjoint & moi avons passé une belle soirée. Nous avions choisi le menu dégustation 7 services avec accord de vin.
Cependant, nous avons trouvé que la qualité des plats avait diminué depuis notre dernière visite qui remonte tout de même à 3 ans. Le dessert était quelque peu raté.
Le service était dans l'ensemble ‘'correct'' mais on a oublié de nous servir notre accord de vin lorsque notre plat est arrivé, à un autre moment on a attendu avant d'avoir des ustensiles propres.
Les vins servis, je vous pris de pardonner l'adjectif, mais ils étaient médiocres sauf pour le Saint-Émilion.

En résumé, nous ne pensons pas y retourner bientôt.

Cordialement,
