Fabulous drinks, great food. Friendly staff. Great place to enjoy while staying at the Chateau Frontenac. Highly recommend.

Shoutout to Annika, who had to deal with some drunk hockey parents, who were part of the Pee-Wee hockey tournament. The restaurant was overwhelmed with poorly behaved kids & & their difficult parents. Regardless of such, the staff kept things in good order & it was much appreciated!

The cassolette fruits de mer & the soup du jour were great. The restaurant atmosphere is very cozy. I recommend reserving in advance.

We had a nice dining experience at Bistro Le Sam. Recommend booking ahead & requesting the alcove seating...the high top seats did not look comfortable. I had the smoked meat which is actually a sliced brisket sandwich. I had that & the French onion soup, both were tasty but very salty. My wife had the flank steak & said it was pretty tough, & salty as well. It's a bit pricey being in the Chateau Frontenac but overall worthy of the 4 stars

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.

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.

The atmosphere & ambiance are wonderful. There's a great view over the city, especially at night. We had the ribs & salmon tartare as appetizers. Both were great. I had the seafood casserole & would order again. Lots of seafood & quite tasty. My husband ordered the fish & chips. Coming from Newfoundland & enjoying fresh cod & knowing the difference in cod that has been frozen for some time, this was well frozen cod & quite dry. The waiter couldn't tell us where it was sourced from other than it is "Atlantic", & that means it could have come from Europe! If you're a fan of cod, don't order this. It's not terrible, just not great, especially for the price. Otherwise it was a great experience & would recommend.

SAM at the Fairmont is an absolute gem. The food is simply amazing, & the service is outstanding from start to finish. The French onion soup is a must-try-rich, savory, & perfectly balanced. The goat cheese & spinach puff pie salad is equally incredible, with flaky pastry & fresh, vibrant flavors. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!
