Bistro Le Sam was an absolute highlight of our visit. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, with stunning views overlooking the St. Lawrence River. All of our dishes were beautifully presented & tasted delicious. The service was top-notch. Our server was friendly & made great recommendations. It's a perfect spot to unwind & enjoy quality cuisine in a gorgeous setting. We'll definitely be coming back!

The view is beautiful. The service was great. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to accommodate my sister & me for lunch in a very sunny portion of the restaurant where we could see the view of the Dufferin Terrace. The scallops & fennel were chef's kiss 💋. My sister had the seafood casserole that tasted really yummy, also. I ordered the truffle popcorn for dessert. The cosmopolitan 🍸 was sooo nice. Would definitely recommend, & will return.

Important to have a reservation beforehand. The service is impeccable, the interior is stunning & the views from the hotel are beautiful. For the given price point, the quality of the food was acceptable. I recommend the roasted cod & the Québec cheese board. The beef flank steak was salty & a little tough.

Not GF friendly. Reservation & table we got didn't match. Food ok not great. Very very expensive for what you get especially wine which is 20+ for glass. Beautiful place especially at Christmas.

What a beautiful restaurant nestled in The Chateau Frontenac. It was a non pretentious, warm environment with atmospheric lighting. Lots to offer with its wide selection of food, especially gluten free. They have gluten-free bread to offer before your meal with butter, which is a plus. Since this option is not so widely offered. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful dining experience! Our table looked out over the St. Lawrence River, which provided a beautiful backdrop for our meal. The cocktails were fantastic & the charcuterie board is not to be missed. The salad dressing was the best I have ever tasted & the service was great.

I was in Quebec City with my siblings, & we treated ourselves to Sunday Brunch at Bistro Le Sam in the stunningly gorgeous Fairmont Chateau Frontenac. What a wonderful experience. We ordered from the menu--the buffet was far too much food for all of us--& it was fantastic. We each had a different breakfast, & none of us were disappointed, at all. I ordered a side of ham & a side of sourdough toast & there was plenty of food. It beat any ham & toast I've ever had. The coffee was fresh & hot & never-ending. & the service was superb! The restaurant is beautiful, & very large, with excellent views outside. If ever I am in Quebec City again, Bistro Le Sam is on the itinerary.

Please know if you are a party of one (even with a reservation), a table with a view is not an option. You'll be catfished into a room with no windows, dark paneling & tvs, regardless of the time or wait. I wanted to leave, but somehow ended up sitting down in this room & missed the sunset on this beautiful Summer evening. On the up side, the roasted cod was delicious.
