Alors que cet endroit est un rituel afin d'observer le panorama d'automne & les paquebots naviguer, nous avons réservé une table plus de trois semaines à l'avance & à 17H00, puisqu'il n'y avait d'autres choix d'heure, & préciser côté verrière. Malheureusement, pas moyen d'avoir une table adjacente à la fenêtre seulement une table côté mur de brique. Malgré les arguments précités on nous mentionne que ces tables sont pour les gens ''VIP'' ou pour ceux qui ont réservés au moins un mois à l'avance. Ah vraiment!!! Décevant comme accueil.

Very busy restaurant inside Fairmont hotel. Lots of tourists there on Tuesday lunch. Sitting at the bar is the best with super friendly bartenders. French onion soup was amazing.

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 had such a fantastic experience today! We are a difficult group to please with serious gluten, dairy & egg allergies in our family but our server Annick took such great care of us. She made sure we had something special, delicious, & safe for us to enjoy. We were so impressed with the level of service she provided. Thanks for a memorable afternoon Annick!

Great food, service & atmosphere. Reservations are needed well in advance for weekends & over a month ahead for a window table.

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!
