Guests frequently highlight the breathtaking, panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River and the sophisticated, inviting atmosphere that makes the venue perfect for both special occasions and casual social gatherings. While the menu is noted for being on the pricier side, many diners find the high-quality ingredients, such as the popular French onion soup, lobster rolls, and expertly prepared steaks, to be worth the cost. Service is often described as professional, warm, and attentive, though experiences can vary. Overall, the combination of a stunning location, consistent culinary offerings, and a refined setting creates a destination that many travelers and locals alike choose to revisit.

You pay for the view & atmosphere but the food was not impressive at all for the price.

We enjoyed this restaurant on our most recent vacation to Quebec. We arrived just before the restaurant opened & were seated immediately in front of one of the windows, giving us a lovely view. The wait staff was friendly & attentive & the food was delicious! Vegetarian & vegan dishes were clearly marked, creatively designed, & well made.

Nine year olds review: I thought the food was great & since I love chocolate milk of course I had to get it! I ordered mac & cheese & I was in heaven when I tried it. The second time we came I got mac & cheese & a Shirley Temple for the first time & I loved it! This place is amazing & when I heard it had 4 stars I was very outraged & thought it should be 5 stars!!! Definitely come here because it is amazing! :)

Came for a late lunch & was able to get seated at the counter bar which is actually what we prefer. Lovely bar decor with a good selection of drinks.

The charcuterie board was tasty & well worth it. Portion is actually enough to share between 2-3 people. Was told all the ingredients on the board are sourced locally.

Well worth a visit especially if you can get a table on the balcony as the view is astounding.

What a fabulous lunch! First of all we had the best seat in the house with a river view. They were lovely about accommodating gluten free. Our lobster rolls were huge & delicious. Couldn't have been nicer.

Great atmosphere if you have the view. Otherwise it's just an expensive hotel bistro.

We started our stay with lunch here, & it was a great first impression. The restaurant is stunning & beautifully designed, with lovely waterfront views. The French onion soup is a must, & be sure to save room for dessert. There's a great variety of options for everyone, & the service was attentive & friendly throughout.

On vient de dîner au BISTRO LE SAM. L'agneau était absolument délicieux - cuit à la perfection & si savoureux. La vue du restaurant était aussi magnifique, ce qui a créé une ambiance incroyable.

Mais ce qui nous a le plus marqués, c'est le service exceptionnel. Notre serveur/serveuse a fait preuve d'une patience & d'une gentillesse remarquables pour s'adapter à la situation particulière de mon ami(e).

C'était bien au-delà de nos attentes, & nous vous en sommes profondément reconnaissants. Merci pour cette expérience mémorable.

We just had lunch at BISTRO LE SAM. The lamb was absolutely exquisite - cooked to perfection & incredibly flavourful. The scenic view from the restaurant was also breathtaking, providing a wonderful ambiance for our midday meal.

What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service. Our server demonstrated remarkable patience & kindness in accommodating my friend's special needs. It went above & beyond our expectations, & for that, we are deeply grateful. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Bistro Le Sam is a beautiful restaurant with fantastic views of the water. The staff made sure our experience was comfortable, elegant & worth the trip. The menu is mostly beef & seafood - burgers, steak, oysters, etc. They took care to provide recommendations & served us a perfect cheesecake for dessert.
