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.

C'était notre 3e visite au Saint-Amour. Côté décor, c'est un petit paradis. Les plats sont bien présentés, un chef-d'oeuvre pour les yeux. Toutefois le goût est subtil, on pourrait facilement accepter que les saveurs soient plus développées.
Les serveurs sont courtois & efficaces; le sommelier pour sa part s'est présenté avec une pointe d'arrogance.
Je note également que le premier verre de vin de notre bouteille nous a été servi, quant aux suivants il a fallu s'en occuper nous-mêmes. Ce n'est pas une lourde tâche, mais cela nous a quand même surpris.

Le service était impeccable. Les entrées de foie gras, accompagnées d'un verre de Sauternes, étaient excellentes. Par contre, le plat principal nous a un peu déçu. La pintade farcie était bonne, sans plus. Quant à l'agneau, il manquait un peu de cuisson & le goût de sauge était un peu trop prononcé. Donc le niveau de qualité était un peu inférieur à d'autres repas que nous avons déjà pris à ce restaurant.

Excellent food & service. The wine list was overpowering, & hard to deal with on an iPhone, but with the help of our waiter we picked a delightful wine.

Truly unique dinning experience! We chose the 7 course discovery menu with wine parings. Every dish was exquisite. A great way to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary.
