They have good food & great drinks. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to go as it cane get quite busy during dinner time. Had a salad & beef, both were great. Really recommend as a spot to end your day after strolling through Quebec city, where you can get a view of St Lawrence River (if you get a table by the window).

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 food was pretty good but not outstanding. But the gorgeous views perhaps make up for it. Worth trying if you don't feel like leaving the hotel premises &/or have a hotel credit you're needing to use.

We had a quick lunch here, & enjoyed the views & super service. Portion sizes were enormous, & even eating just salad for lunch, I was stuffed.

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.

Wonderful setting, nice view of the river. Small but nice menu. Service was excellent. The food is "okay" nothing special. Had a chicken club sandwich which was nice, but accompanying french fries were cold & floppy. Cole slaw was meh. Really expected better, especially for the price. But I think you are paying for the ambience & not the food quality. My wife had a lovely Christmas concoction for a drink - orange, cranberry, apple, prosecco... Her salad was also meh. Go for the experience, not the food.

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.
