Although ask the restaurants are wonderful, this is probably the best IMHO in Chateau Frontenac. It has a spectacular view of the St Lawrence River, & the food is delicious, yet it won't break your wallet.

Love the service here. My waitress is amazing & all the staff is super nice. Food is great. But we came for the reputation of the hotel & also the great view plus my mom & best friend are the fans of Korean Drama "goblins孤單又燦爛的神--鬼怪". Everything is great.

4.0

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.

Great dinner. The seafood cassorole, French dip, spinach goat cheese puff, & creme brûlée were all 5 star. The lamb dish was a bit small for 50 CAD other than that we loved the atmosphere, service & food sand the view. They even got out a ramp so my 95 year old grandpa could sit on the terrace. Well done!

We started our self guide walking tour of Quebec city in Château Frontenac & had our lunch at Bistro Le Sam! We made a reservation couple of hours ahead & they greeted us warmly with our table with a view! This place is beautiful with great atmosphere. Staff were super friendly & dedicated. Everything we ordered was great! Three of us are vegetarian & we had great options! I ordered onion soup (big portion, totally shareable) & Feuilleté Chèvre & they tasted awesome!
