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.

Simply the Best restaurant in Quebec City. Convenient location in the heart of Old Town. Perfect place for any special occasion birthday or anniversary date. The 7 course French tasting menu is superb & offers the best of local meats & fruits. The preparation is exquisite & so delicious. Small portions are just right. Knowledgeable & friendly staff. The main dining room is beautifully decorated like Belle Epoque Paris. With wine, tax (15% in Canada ! ) & tip we spent $535 Canadian which is only about $387 US dollars total for 2 people. Well worth it for such a memorable dinner.

Une très belle expérience au Saint-Amour. Toutefois, le rapport qualité / quantité / prix m'oblige à retirer une étoile. Pour 800$ à deux, nous avons une expérience gastronomique beaucoup plus complète à La Tanière, soutenue & remarquable côté service, qui demeure notre référence à Québec. Cela dit, le service a été très agréable, les plats ont été finement exécutés & l'accord mets & vins nous a bien plu. Côté stationnement, nous avons longtemps tourné en rond dans le secteur avant d'appeler au restaurant & qu'ils nous trouvent une solution. Nous étions à quelques minutes de tourner de bord..!

Had dinner here Oct 3, visiting from BC. It's a nice restaurant, but there were a few things I found surprising for a restaurant of this calibre. First, when we got there, there were two tables with young children under the age 5; the sounds of electronic games & fussy children was not what we expected. Our waiter offered us sparkling wine when we arrived which was nice, but only later when you get the wine menu can you see that they are pushing the most expensive of three available by the glass without any explanation ($15-$45/glass). Finally, the foie gras dishes were excellent & my wife really enjoyed her filet. I thought the bluefin tuna was disappointing & meh. We didn't have dessert. Wine selection by the glass is very good.

The food's fine, taste & everything is above average. However the portion of the main dish is ridiculous & the service's a bit slow. Don't recommend the 7 course menu.

Il faisait froid. Le service était lent. Le serveur m'a littéralement crié dessus parce qu'il pensait que je ne lui laisserai pas de pourboire en payant avec ma carte de crédit alors que j'avais deux billets de 20$ dans la main pour lui. Pour un souper pour deux à 400$ sans alcool c'est un peu surprenant un tel comportement...

Two extravagant evenings. Dined last evening at Le Champlain at the Chateau Frontenac. We ordered the tasting menu paired with wines. A wonderful evening not to be forgotten. Tonight we dined at Le Saint Amour & selected the tasting menu paired with wines. Huge negative contrast. Waited one half hour before waiter came to table. We watched as a limited staff slowly took orders. An offering of a proseco or a taste of wine would have helped. The evening proceeded at a snails pace. Wine pours were embarrassingly minute. Paired wines, cutlery food coordination unworthy of this highly recommended restaurant. Our Canadian next table neighbors were equally less than happy with their experience. It's a shame. The decor of the restaurant is worthy of a visit, but I suggest Le Champlain for a truly gourmet experience
