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.

Soirée mémorable. Retour au Saint-Amour, après toutes ces années passées à l'extérieur de Québec.
Atmosphère, service & la qualité des mets étaient au rendez-vous & l'excellence au menu.
Bravo !

as usual the food was excellent & for that we give a 5 star review. It became annoying to always ask for butter when some bread was brought, actually we had to ask for bread & then when the tiny 4 pieces were gone no one thought of offering any more, so we asked, & then had to ask for butter AGAIN, then when those 4 tiny pieces were gone we had to ask AGAIN & of course no butter so we had to ask for butter AGAIN.
for a 5 star restaurant one excepts exceptionalism on all points, not just the food, but all details of services, including being served in English, despite having a French name, the waiter was very aware that we spoke English but insisted on speaking French ... not professional as he made an effort to speak in English at other tables.
When you're paying over 50 a plate you expect the rack of lamb to come medium rare, as ordered, the FIRST time ... & not have to wait for them to get it right ...
VERY IMPORTANT POINT: for those physically & mobility challenged there is no handicapped washroom on the main floor, so i had to climb up, & down, 2 flights of stairs not a great way to end the evening.
BUT the foie gras is truly exceptional & the mushroom butter!
