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.

Excellent restaurant surtout pour sa qualité sur toute la ligne & sa rigueur exceptionnelle. À consommer toutefois avec modération étant donné une nourriture riche & un coût élevé.

Bonjour,

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée dans un beau décor & nous avons savouré tous nos plats J'aimerais toutefois faire quelques remarques.

J'ai été déçue par l'acoustique: plus la salle se remplissait de clients, plus il devenait difficile de bien s'entendre à notre table de deux personnes.

De plus, nous avons dû attendre 10 à 15 minutes pour placer notre commande une fois avoir indiqué clairement que notre choix de plats était fait: notre premier serveur a servi plusieurs tables autour de nous sans nous indiquer qu'il était conscient que nous étions prêtes à commander. En fait, on se demandait ce qui se passait, s'il vous manquait des serveurs ou si un autre serveur allait prendre le relais.

Finalement, ce serveur s'adressait à ma mère en l'appelant "ma chère". Pas "ma chère dame", ce qui aurait passer un peu mieux (mais encore). Non, tout simplement "ma chère", ce qui s'approche du "ma petite madame" si condescendant, donc déplacé.

Pour un restaurant de votre classe, nous aurions apprécié un environnement, une attention & un ton à la hauteur de votre réputation.

Cela étant, je dois souligner que la serveuse qui a servi nos plats a fait preuve d'un service impeccable & que le chef nous a impressionnées par son attention en préparant des galettes au sarrasin en remplacement de pain à cause de mon intolérance au blé. Chapeau!

En vous remerciant de votre considération, je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

The food was excellent as usual but the service was not up to par. The pompous & presumptuous waiter & sommelier (Alexandre) was awful. Our experience was most certainly tainted by his presence at our table. I had to reiterate my wine choice three times simply because he would not accept my selection insisting instead on more expensive bottles. My wife & I just felt belittled. Nobody was present to take our coats upon arrival or to return them to us at the end of the evening.

Faites attention Monsieur Boulay c'est votre excellente réputation qui est en jeu!

Nourriture & présentation de qualité exceptionnelle.
Serveur (Alexandre) & toute l'équipe ont donné un service hors pair.
Belle découverte avec le menu dégustation & les accord mets-vins.
Ambiance des plus agréable avec légère musique en bruit de fond à peine perceptible qui nous permettait d'avoir des conversations.
