This was the best foie gras experience I could have asked for. I've never tasted something so good & so tender It felt like I reached flow state, like I had entered a state of mediation where all my problems fell away as I was guided into the present moment through wonderful tastes of savory, & sweet & tenderness! 100 percent recommend 100 percent of the time.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Nous sommes accueillis en entrant par le chef. Tous le long du repas de petites surprises offertes par la maison. Un repas somptueux & vraiment délicieux. Je recommande chaudement.

Went to Le Saint-Amour in December & unfortunately won't be going back. We were placed in a smaller room to the right of when you walk into the restaurant instead of the main area. However, we weren't the only ones placed there so we decided not to say anything.

Ultimately chose to splurge & get the tasting menu & a bottle of wine but it really wasn't worth it. I think a lot of creativity went into justifying how there are 7 courses (which include a tiny to-go box of cookies at the end), but the worst part was the service. By 9/9:30 pm on a Saturday night, after we paid & still had wine left, we were the only ones left in this room & our waiter disappeared after collecting the bill. The only staff we saw were the busboys peeking in to see if we were still there. I had to get up twice & go to the coat check for a water refill. However, the main part of the restaurant still had customers & staff working as well. The service during the meal wasn't great either, considering we opted for a multi-course menu.

All in all, I would not recommend going to this restaurant, but if you decide to go do not get the tasting menu & do not let yourself be seated outside the main area. I was surprised this restaurant wasn't anywhere in the Michelin guide, but after this experience I can understand.

It's a 5-star, especially if you go in expecting proper robust traditional French cuisine. It's not nouvelle by any means. The squab was bold & delicious. The cod was nuanced & clever. The foie gras'experience' was just that. The recommended sauterne was a perfect pairing, & my Pessac-Léognan 2020 from Les Hauts de Smith for the squab leapt out at you! The chocolate tart dessert was perfect. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable & attentive without being cloying or stiff. The atmosphere is of course perfectly on-theme. Our local friend'warned' us that it will be rich & saucy. That was not criticism but compliment. One must go knowing this.

Une très belle expérience dans ce restaurant que je recommande sans hésitation. Le service est attentionné & personnalisé, & la cuisine gastronomique est tout simplement excellente. Même si, à certains moments, la présentation des plats par quelques serveurs semblait un peu trop répétée ou mécanique, cela n'a en rien gâché l'expérience. Dans l'ensemble, j'ai passé un très bon moment & j'y retournerais avec plaisir.

WE got lucky! We arrived with no reservations but were able to score a table for 4. I have indicated that reservations are required & if you really want to dine her, make a reservation! However we had none but they checked & were able to seat us. The dining area filled quickly after our arrival, so again, make a reservation!
The food & service were excellent. 3 ordered the filet & I ordered the scallops. The filet was cooked to perfection. The scallops were served with roasted brussel sprouts, broccoli & small onions. The creme brule was perfectly glazed & the chocolate tartlet was to die for! From looking at previous posts, their menu changes from time to time, but I'm sure you will find something to bless your taste! All 4 of us highly recommend Le Saint-Amour & if we are blessed to return to Quebec City, we'll call ahead for reservations!

Cuisine très classique, raffinée & exécutée à la perfection. Tous les plats étaient soignés & délicieux. Carte des vins impressionnante & très bons conseils de notre serveur Pierre. Plutôt déçus de notre accueil toutefois; alors qu'on patientait dans l'entrée, à 5 reprises un employé est passé à côté de nous sans même nous dire bonjour ou nous dire que quelqu'un serait avec nous sous peu, on se sentait complètement ignorés. Une fois réellement accueillis & conduits à notre table, le service était toutefois irréprochable. Ambiance & décor un peu vieux jeu, mais je comprends qu'on ne change pas une institution comme le Saint-Amour! Facture un peu salée lorsqu'on compare à d'autres restaurants du même calibre qui se distinguent davantage à mon avis. Néanmoins je recommande d'y aller au moins une fois pour l'essayer, c'était une agréable expérience & nous nous sommes régalés.

Dès l'entrée, l'accueil est chaleureux. L'ambiance est très agréable & le décor est magnifique. Pour moi, ce fut une excellente découverte. La cuisine est exquise, avec des saveurs à découvrir, préparée avec des ingrédients locaux, un vrai plus, & le souci du détail est évident. Le service est également impeccable. Je le recommande sans hésiter, vous vivrez une expérience inoubliable. J'y ai fêté l'anniversaire de mon mari & le mien, un très beau souvenir.
