The salmon tartare was excellent! My hubby had the tuna entrée which was equally superb 👌

The hype about the French onion soup is real! & the seafood casserole! I hadn't read the reviews before ordering, but glad we ordered these two dishes. We also enjoyed the flank steak! The fish & chips that my son ordered from the kids menu was high quality & delicious (which is very rare), & the piece of cod was bigger than his face!

I had made a note on the reservation for my husband's birthday, & they sat us right by the window with an amazing view overlooking the St. Lawrence River & the Dufferin Terrace. They also treated us with a delicious & beautifully decorated dessert for my husband's bday, which was a pleasant surprise.

Our server was attentive & friendly, & he even found a special'fancy cup' for my son's lemonade which made his day! Thank you for making this a lovely evening to remember!

While there are fine servers at this hotel, the last two times the service was subpar. Rushed, seemingly uncaring. Forgot items & barley an appoligy. Totally checked out attitude. Food was very good & up to usual standards. Recommend better hiring practice & training.

Well.. They unfortunately changed their menu 2 weeks ago. So sorry to see that they reduced size of the cheese on their French onion soup. That soup was the best in Quebec but not any more. Still I'll give an okay score but I am very much disappointed by the change of the menu. :(

Slow & careless service

Food nothing that impresses, it can be compared to any neighborhood coffee shop. Super over price for the quality & service, in my opinion it is more the fame for the view than what it really is. . I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Servicio lento y descuidado
comida nada que impresione , se puede comparar con cualquier cafetería de vecindario . Súper over price para la calidad y el servicio , en mi opinión es más la fama por la vista que lo que realmente es. . No lo recomendaría a nadie .

We came here for dinner on Canada Day & had an amazing experience. You definitely need to make sure you have reservations, especially when there are lots of festivals or events taking place in the city. All staff working at this bistro were super friendly & kind. Our waiter was very kind & made an effort to make our experience more than just about the meal. However, the meal was fantastic. It's definitely a more costly experience, but for this restaurant I would say it was worth the cost because not only was the food good. The experience was great.

A memorable lunch inside the Château Frontenac

Le Sam is not just about the view - though the panoramic windows overlooking the St. Lawrence River are absolutely stunning - the food holds its own. We had lunch here & everything from service to plating felt refined yet unpretentious.

Here's what we ordered & loved:

Grilled asparagus - Lightly charred & drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette, a refreshing starter.

Salmon tartare - Fresh, clean flavors with a nice crunch from the chips. Simple & elegant.

Pork ribs - Tender & flavorful, with a sweet BBQ-style glaze. Very comforting.

Bavette steak - Rich & meaty with just the right chew, well-executed & satisfying.

Filet mignon with foie gras - The highlight of the meal. Perfectly cooked tenderloin topped with seared foie gras that simply melts in your mouth. Luxurious & unforgettable.

Service was attentive but never rushed, & the ambiance - elegant, sunlit, & relaxed - made the whole experience feel special.

💡Tip: Book ahead & request a window seat - the view adds so much to the experience.

Whether you're staying at the Château or just visiting Old Quebec, Le Sam is worth a stop for a scenic & delicious me
