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.

We were looking for New Years celebration place & I found this one online. Pictures looked good & it seem to be very classy. Stuff was very friendly & even though it took long time between the dishes (it was prefix) I didn't mind it. I took the star off because we got out Champaign after midnight & that was very disappointing. Also the dessert had actual mushrooms in it which is way too weird & unpleasant to eat. I love mushrooms in almost any form & any dish except for the dessert! Overall it was a nice experience & the restaurant is an old school French establishment which one can appreciate.

Jonathon was a very good server. He said that he was just starting at Le Saint-Amour but appeared to be very well seasoned. A woman who worked with him (I forget her name) was also quite adept at her role. The tasting menu was quite good, but not superior, which is why we gave it 4 stars. No complaints really. The wine pairing added an extra dimension to the experience & Jonathon was well-informed about each vintage. We particularly liked the Chateau Lamothe Guignard Sauternes 2016. We visited on a relatively quiet Thursday evening & found the ambiance of the space to be comfortable & welcoming. The final price of $570 (USD) for two people was reasonable for the level of service & the quality of the meal with the wine pairing.

I am going to share my honest review. When we arrived the Maitre D' was very nice & welcoming. He showed us to our table but after 35 min of waiting we had no service. The table to next to ours got up & left. I have no idea what happened but it was like the waiter in our section walked out & never came back. I called over the Maitre D' he then was our server & he did an amazing job. We ordered the tasting menu & wine pairing. The food was good but not the best I had in Quebec City & it was the most expensive coming in at $702 USD for two people. I felt some of the dishes lacked passion & had been tossed together. Maybe we came on an off night not sure the 10th of October 2024. In contrast Chez Muffy we ordered the tasting menu & wine pairing total was $560 USD & overall that was the better experience. The only reason I didn't rate this lower was because the Maitre D' really did everything he could after our waiter walked out. If you go here do not get the tasting menu.
