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!
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 .
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
Le Sam Bistro, located within the magnificent Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, provided us with an exceptional dining experience that perfectly complemented our luxurious stay. As hotel guests, we were looking forward to enjoying a meal in-house, & Le Sam certainly didn't disappoint.
The ambiance of the bistro was both elegant & relaxed, with stylish interiors & large windows that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. From our table, we were able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River, which added an unforgettable backdrop to our dining experience & made our meal feel even more special.
We started with the fried calamari, which was crispy on the outside & tender inside-expertly seasoned & served with a flavourful dipping sauce. For small bites, we also shared the baby back ribs glazed with bbq & whisky sauce. The standout dish for us was the fish & chips, served with a creative twist: we added foie gras to elevate the dish. The result was indulgent & memorable-the richness of the foie gras paired beautifully with the crispy, flaky fish.
Service was attentive, making the entire meal enjoyable. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful lunch. Dining at Le Sam Bistro was a highlight of our time at the Château Frontenac, & we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality meal paired with exceptional views in the heart of Quebec City.
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.
