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.

Tout était parfait

WE got lucky! We arrived with no reservations but were able to score a table for 4. I have indicated that reservations are required & if you really want to dine her, make a reservation! However we had none but they checked & were able to seat us. The dining area filled quickly after our arrival, so again, make a reservation!
The food & service were excellent. 3 ordered the filet & I ordered the scallops. The filet was cooked to perfection. The scallops were served with roasted brussel sprouts, broccoli & small onions. The creme brule was perfectly glazed & the chocolate tartlet was to die for! From looking at previous posts, their menu changes from time to time, but I'm sure you will find something to bless your taste! All 4 of us highly recommend Le Saint-Amour & if we are blessed to return to Quebec City, we'll call ahead for reservations!

Been here many times over the past twenty years - both for business discussions & family celebrations. I've always enjoyed the creative, delicious meals & efficient service whether for lunch or dinner. It was introduced to me by two friends of mine that live in Ville de Québec…..& I'm very grateful!

Cuisine très classique, raffinée & exécutée à la perfection. Tous les plats étaient soignés & délicieux. Carte des vins impressionnante & très bons conseils de notre serveur Pierre. Plutôt déçus de notre accueil toutefois; alors qu'on patientait dans l'entrée, à 5 reprises un employé est passé à côté de nous sans même nous dire bonjour ou nous dire que quelqu'un serait avec nous sous peu, on se sentait complètement ignorés. Une fois réellement accueillis & conduits à notre table, le service était toutefois irréprochable. Ambiance & décor un peu vieux jeu, mais je comprends qu'on ne change pas une institution comme le Saint-Amour! Facture un peu salée lorsqu'on compare à d'autres restaurants du même calibre qui se distinguent davantage à mon avis. Néanmoins je recommande d'y aller au moins une fois pour l'essayer, c'était une agréable expérience & nous nous sommes régalés.

Dès l'entrée, l'accueil est chaleureux. L'ambiance est très agréable & le décor est magnifique. Pour moi, ce fut une excellente découverte. La cuisine est exquise, avec des saveurs à découvrir, préparée avec des ingrédients locaux, un vrai plus, & le souci du détail est évident. Le service est également impeccable. Je le recommande sans hésiter, vous vivrez une expérience inoubliable. J'y ai fêté l'anniversaire de mon mari & le mien, un très beau souvenir.

Food is okay. I went for seared foie gras. The sauce is a bit too heavy & sweet. Steak was well cooked. The garnish got some herb purée that I'm not used to the earthy taste. Service is really slow. Food comes very slow as well. Bread is cold & I asked additional bread for three times to get it. Took us more than two hours for three courses.

Spent $630CA for 2 people & the food was just okay. We ordered the tasting & split a wine pairing. For that price the food needs to be incredible & it just wasn't. It definitely wasn't inventive food. The food was stuffy. Maybe ordering a la carte would have been a better value. To me, it's the most expensive tourist trap I've ever been to.

Dinning room is beautiful & unique. Foie Gras Experience is a must. Entrees: scallops were perfect & Filet was a Top 5 ever. Service was well balanced being unobtrusive & attentive through out dinner.
