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.

Review Summary

Le Saint-Amour offers a celebrated culinary journey marked by exquisite traditional French cuisine, particularly noted for its exceptional foie gras and perfectly executed main courses. The dining environment, especially within the stunning glass roof atrium, creates a romantic and memorable atmosphere that many guests find to be a highlight of their time in Quebec City. While the vast majority of visitors enjoy impeccable and attentive service, experiences can occasionally vary depending on the busy nature of the evening. Overall, the restaurant remains a premier destination for those seeking a sophisticated gastronomic experience featuring creative, high-quality dishes and an impressive wine selection.

I was disappointed to have the amuse bouche & the intermezzo as two of the seven courses of the Discovery tasting menu. In my experience, at other restaurants with other tasting menus, they have been over & above the courses presented.

We arrived at a nearly empty dining room for 6:00p reservation. There was only one other table occupied. We received water & menus promptly then sat for 22 minutes before being greeted by a haughty waiter. No one inquired if we wanted to order wine or food. The other table received attentive service, food & drinks. Perhaps it is because we are Americans & do not speak French? He was unfriendly to the point of rudeness, & obviously sitting for 22 minutes is awkward. After we finally were allowed to place an order we were served by a very nice woman. The food was good but not spectacular. The dining room decor is tired, uninspired & very dated. There are much better restaurants in Quebec City.

Beautiful place to have dinner in Quebec. Wife's dinner was excellent. My dinner (Tuna) was good but it was not trimmed well so some parts could not be eaten. Wine steward was a bit pushy & talked us into a wine more expensive than what we intended. The desserts were unbelievable! In all, a very pleasant evening that would have been perfect except for the above.
