Le meilleur restaurant que nous ayons pu faire lors de notre séjour au Canada. Sans parler de la beauté du château de Frontenac, magnifiquement décoré pour Noël.. la nourriture était délicieuse & le service impeccable, aux petits soins. Tout était parfait de l'entrée au dessert, nous avons vraiment regretté de ne pas avoir passé une nuit au château. Option pour les végétariens disponible. Je vous le recommande vivement.

Stopped in for lunch without a reservation & we were seated close to the window but not at the window. Still had a marvelous view but make a reservation if you want the very best seats. Our waitress was adorable & friendly. We had blueberry tea that was to die for (black tea poured over over amaretto & grand mariner). Excellent lobster cake, salads & duck wings. Would highly recommend!

I can't rave enough about Le Sam. The food was excellent. The service was slow but extremely well taken care of. Ambiance...AMAZING. I would recommend the French onion soup & the cheese board! If you're in Quebec City...this is a must

Très déçu! J'avais l'habitude d'y aller & j'étais satisfaite, mais pas cette fois-ci. J'ai réservé pour la fête de mon conjoint (j'ai bien spécifié lors de la réservation) & nous avons eu la pire table, malgré que j'ai demandé une autre table. La qualité de nourriture n'était pas à la hauteur. Je n'irai plus & je ne recommanderai plus cette place.

Nous y sommes aller en groupe. Le repas était fantastique. Un potage de courge comme entré qui était merveilleux, la joue de boeuf comme plat principal qui était fondante & le gâteau mousse comme dessert qui était juste merveilleux. Le service était simple, mais très efficace. & l'ambiance est incroyable avec une vue magnifique. Je recommande à 100%

Bistro Le Sam is much more about the riverfront views & posh decor than the actual taste of the food. Only around half of the tables have views; you’ll want a reservation to secure those. The seafood casserole was great. Everything else was middling at best. I still recommend it for the views, but if you can’t get a table with a view then I don’t think it’s worth it.
