The food was excellent, & I was initially considering giving it 5 stars. However, one aspect left me dissatisfied. The receptionists at the restaurant her name is Laurie, lacked hospitality & her demeanor towards us was unwelcoming. Her communication came across as discriminatory, which was disappointing.

Amazing French Bistro in Château Frontenac. Chose to dine here during our recent hotel stay. Without any specific plans, we managed to snag a last-minute reservation for a table in the lounge area on a Saturday night. While the lounge didn't offer a view of the river, it compensated with a cozy ambiance, complete with plush couches that added to the comfortable setting. We started off our meal with three outstanding appetizers: the Gaspesian Cake, Foie Gras Parfait, & Quebec Beef Tartare. The Quebec Beef Tartare was expertly seasoned, with a mild sweetness & a hint of mustard. The Gaspésian Cake, which I tried for the first time, was also very satisfying. It was somewhat denser than other cod cakes I've tried, yet retained a soft & pillowy texture. But the true highlight was undoubtedly the Foie Gras Parfait. Perched atop a soft, mildly sweet pastry, the creamy parfait blended exquisitely with it. For the entrée, we opted for the Scallops & the Rack of Lamb. The scallops were beautifully complemented by the slight bitterness of braised endives, the rich sweetness of burnt pears, & the creaminess of Roquefort sauce. The inclusion of blood pudding was unconventional, but it proved to be a more interesting choice than the typical mashed potatoes. With a perfect amount of fat & a well-subdued lamb aroma, the Roasted Lamb was also amazing. The Herb Crust, although not a game-changer, contributed a pleasant crunch to each bite. We also couldn't resist getting the poutine. Elevated with pulled beef cheek toppings, the poutine was better than most poutines I've had in the past. Although the fries themselves were average, the combination of beef, pickles, cheese, & fries were addicting. As for the cocktails, they were a tad pricier compared to other Quebec restaurants, but they were great. Overall, Le SAM Bistro went above & beyond our expectations in every aspect, from the attentive service to the exquisite food. It might lack the ambiance of a more'local' restaurant, but if you're looking for impeccable French food, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Première expérience , & c'était bien généralement. La seule chose décevante était le service, assez bordélique si je pourrais le décrire , le serveur Mr Laurent , échappe des choses à répétition , oublie nos breuvages , nous charge la grosse salade au lieu de la petite alors que nous avions demander la petite & etc. Nous avons un carré d'agneau avec une cuisson pas assez cuite alors que nous avions demandé mieux cuit que M-S & il tirait même sur le saignant selon moi. Nous avons demander à le refaire cuire. Les short ribs tant qu'à elle était délicieuse. La salade César elle aussi était la meilleure que j'ai jamais manger! La vue est incroyable & c'est un très bel endroit pour relaxer L'expérience aurait sûrement été meilleure avec un serveur plus professionnel créant moins le bordel autours de nous. Finalement il a oublier de nous donner le ticket de parking alors que nous lui avons dit que nous étions parker au sous terrain de l'hôtel. À la sortie il demandait un 24$... Par chance il a été gentil & nous as accorder la sortie gratuite. Donc pour 200$ nous aurions bien aimé avoir une expérience meilleure côté service .
