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.
Bistro Le SAM is pure beauty & sophistication from the moment you walk in. Located inside the iconic Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Old Quebec, the space is stunning. It's upscale, elegant, & full of charm.
The service was very attentive. The staff truly elevates the experience. The food was exceptional as well. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted.
This restaurant is on the pricier side but it's inside the Fairmont, so expect to pay more. That said, it is absolutely worth it. Between the atmosphere, the views, & the elevated level of service, Bistro Le SAM delivers a memorable dining experience.
Shout out to Luana & Annie F.!! We had a superb time last week!! The food was amazing & Luana & Annie were incredibly helpful in navigating the menu for food & drink that would best suit us. Loved the virgin strawberry daiquiri, ravioli & minestrone soup that I got to enjoy. Got dessert as well: the caramel-chocolate pudding. That one was slightly a miss for me; I'd expected a stronger chocolatey flavor than I got. Still, I can genuinely say I enjoyed this culinary adventure & would 100% return. Thanks for an amazing experience! Next time I hope to return for a seat with a view, plus more culinary delights!
We didn't make a reservation & got lucky as a walk-in. We came here on a Saturday afternoon (1PM), group of 5 adults with two kids & they had space! The hostess gave us the table overlooking the St. Lawrence River & we really enjoyed our view. We didn't order much & just wanted to snack so we got an order of Salmon Tartare & Two dozen oysters with a cocktails each. Our bill came out to around $420 which was expensive but I guess you're paying for the view. The service was okay, it's a bit mediocre considering the price you paid but it's ok. The cocktails were all unique & we didn't order one that we didn't like. The best one would be the Zenquiri & the Cafecito. We won't be coming back for the food but the cocktails for sure!
We had a delightful lunch at Le Sam, & we were fortunate to arrive early just before they opened at 11:30-avoiding any wait. The food was solid & satisfying, though not quite exceptional, with a somewhat limited menu. That said, the friendly service made up for it, & the stunning views were absolutely superb. A charming spot worth visiting!
We had such a wonderful experience at Bistro Le Sam when I brought my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday. From the very first call to make the reservation, the service felt warm & welcoming.
When we arrived, we were greeted by two amazing hosts who guided us to our table with a stunning view. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, setting the tone for a perfect afternoon.
We started with a delicious shrimp cocktail to share, followed by lobster arancini, & then a beautiful cheese plate featuring local Québec cheeses. Every dish was so well prepared & flavorful. We also enjoyed some local beers from Québec & a great wine recommendation from our waiter Marc.
Marc was the star of our experience, professional, knowledgeable, & full of great suggestions. He even shared some stories that made the whole meal feel special. He also prepared an incredible non-alcoholic cocktail, like a daiquiri, that my mom truly enjoyed.
For the main course, we had the BBQ whisky pork ribs, which were absolutely delicious & perfect for sharing. We ended the meal with a cheesecake that was the perfect sweet finish.
Everything about this experience was A+ from the food to the drinks to the outstanding service. Bistro Le Sam exceeded all our expectations, & it made my mom's birthday unforgettable. Truly the best experience we've had at the Fairmont Château Frontenac. Highly recommended!
This was our second time visiting this restaurant. The first time, during Christmas, we had a wonderful experience & were seated by the window. That's why this time, on an important family occasion, we brought our parents here for dinner.
However, to our surprise, we were told that all the window seats had to be pre-reserved, likely due to the fireworks. As visitors from out of town, we felt this was a bit unfair, since OpenTable did not mention any paid option or special reservation note for window seating. We had no way of knowing that window seats were already pre-ordered & unavailable.
Our reservation was at 8:15, but we were only seated at 8:35-& the seating was a very small, makeshift arrangement of three tiny round tables pushed together near the entrance. For a family of five, it was extremely uncomfortable. The hanging lights above each table also became a problem once the tables were combined-two of our family members accidentally hit their heads on the metal lamps, which was unpleasant & even dangerous.
The food was very good, but unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the view, we waited 20 minutes past our reservation time only to be given cramped temporary seating, two people got hurt by the lights, & the waiting time for dishes was also long. Overall, this visit left us with a disappointing memory compared to our first experience.
