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.

An experience to remember! My husband enjoyed the scallops as the main course, while I wanted to experience Chef Boulay's squab. Amazing! & if you enjoy fine wines, you will not be disappointed. Worthy of its Michelin recognition 👏
