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.

Le personnel est charmant & très qualifié, recommandation pour le vin & description des plats à la table , impeccable . Pour l'entrée, belle présentation pour l'expérience du foie gras & l'escalope de foie gras, rien à redire, l'huître avec un soupçon de foie gras , belle découverte! Pour le plat principal, ris de veau etc... peut-être une recommandation de Monsieur Boulay, au Chef, ça manquait un peu de sel? D'épices? Le pigeonneau etc.... Un peu plus de sauce aurait été apprécié. Pour le dessert, ananas etc. Divin, surtout le sorbet aux herbes. Nous avons passé une très agréable & bonne soirée. Note: La vue de votre cave à vin est prestigieuse. Merci à Alexandre qui nous a bien guidé tout au long du repas.

The dinner was lovely & the staff was nice. The overall experience was good. The taste of the food, however, did not live up to the expectations.

FRIDAY, june 16, 2023. very limited menu with odd selections. we opted for the 7 course tasting menu, $155.00 pp. very disappointing. our worst dining experience of the weekend. amuse bouche was a small meatball in a bread coating over a slice of carrot. Please excuse the everyday wording of the food. i am not a foodie, but i am calling it the way we saw it. i am sure there was a lot of work in preparing these dishes, & the explanation & presentation was excellent. you could tell the servers & staff were passionate about their craft. second course was foie gras with toast points. 3rd course was three small (quarter sized) scallops with a slice of leek. fourth course was waygo beef (raw) with micro greens & parsnip puree. A pallet cleanser was served. rasberry sorbet with an alcohol base. the alcohol was distracting & detracted from the serving (in our opinion) the main course was a pork chop with mussell (1 musssell) greens & 3 orange slices. the flavors & textures of this dish did not go well together. best part of the meal was a cream puff with ice cream. they also offered a wine pairing for $ $135.00 pp. (we did not take). if you are a foodie, maybe this is a place you would enjoy, but we would not return.

Nous sommes retournés au St-Amour après plus de 25 ans alors que notre dernier repas s'était déroulé dans l'ancienne verrière. Nous avions fréquenté cette grande table à quelques reprises & à chaque fois, c'était un grand moment de découvertes gastronomiques. Force est de constater que les standards ont été maintenus. Les plats principaux & les desserts sont des expériences visuelles & gustatives en soi. Le catalogue des vins est impressionnant. Les service est parfait & stylé. Nous avions le forfait avec le Manoir Victoria & cette formule nous permis de renouer avec le Vieux-Québec & de renouer avec cette ambiance exceptionnelle. Nous reviendrons.
