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.View more
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 .View more
Visiting Le Sam Bistrot Évolution at the Château Frontenac was an unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional, offering a delightful array of flavors that spoke of high-quality ingredients & culinary expertise. What truly set this dining experience apart was the breathtaking view. Overlooking the scenic vistas, the restaurant provided a mesmerizing backdrop that enhanced every moment of our meal. Additionally, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, & went above & beyond to ensure our visit was perfect. I highly recommend Bistrot Sam for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in a stunning location.View more
Demander une place le long de fenêtres pour avoir une des plus belles vues sur le saint Laurent depuis un restaurant. On paye la vue. Le service se veut haut de gamme mais il est moins bon qu'à certaines places où on s'attend à un standing plus bas On n'a pas goûté les plats. Juste des desserts. La tarte était excellente. Toutefois la qualité des mignardises du café gourmand n'était pas au rendez vous. 70 dollars avant pourboire pour ce qu'il y a en photos.View more
Dur de donner plus. Bistro le sam... copine & moi même sommes allés pour une date. Le serveur lui meme était impeccable & très aidant. Par contre, nous avions attendu près d'une heure & demi pour notre entrée: une simple assiette de charcuterie & de fromage (assez dispendieux merci, mais on s'y attendait). Le problème étant que quelques fruits étaient moisis!! Ben voyons dont, au prix qu'on paye j'aurais aimé que les quelques fruits présents sur l'assiette soient alléchants... après cette entrée correcte, nous avons attendu presqu'une heure pour notre plat principal. Ma copine n'a pas reçu le steak qu'elle désirait, which is fine. Mais la coupe de remplacement ne valait pas du tout le prix. On parlait pas du filet mignon qu'on avait payé pour. Bref, pour le prix, on aurait fait mieux à la maison. L'ambiance était parfaite.View more
Very good restaurant. The staff was amazing. The food was great & generous. Prices are alright.View more
Unfortunately we will never dine here again, the experience was that bad. Avoid eating here at all costs. The food selection is poor & only matched in its crapulence by how extremely rude the staff waiter was. He clearly hated serving Americans & even slammed the waters down on the table so hard that they spilled everywhere & then walked away without cleaning it up. We watched him ignore our table, not bothering to get more water after we drank the half glass that was left. The food was boring, bland, & very over priced. Very surprised such a place was in the Frontenac. The only good thing is their pastry chef.View more
Valet parking that charged our EV while eating. Food is EXCELLENT with a good variety for everyone. Drinks are also good. The view is just splendid.View more
Really disappointing dinner experience at such a luxury hotel. We were guests for one night in the Chateau & decided to have a late dinner to celebrate the start my husband's birthday weekend. The restaurant seemed short staffed, & while our server was polite, they were preoccupied with other tables & paid us little attention since we didn't order any drinks. The decor is also very beautiful with nice views of the river. However, the food does not match the ambience. We were served bread that was horribly stale & tasted as though it had been frozen before. The ceasar salad ($18) was bland & underdressed. The Chateau burger ($30) was inedible - dry, limp lettuce, & beyond overcooked, as if it had been sitting under the heat lamps for an hour. Our server tried to tell us that it's because beef has to be cooked to a certain temperature in Canada (I think that they thought that we were foreigners even though we're from Toronto), which simply isn't the case. They did take it off the bill, but we left hungry & disappointed with our experience.View more

. J'ai réservé pour l'anniversaire de mon conjoint une table dns le verrière pour 20 h car c'est l'heure proposée pour le nombre de personnes que nous étions. Parfait. On s'y présente & on nous fait patienter 10 minutes car les clients doivent terminer de payer.20 minutes plus tard on nous propose le foyer pour attendre ok on y vas.on y patiente encore 20 minutes. Je ne comprends pas trop l'attente mais bon. Donc vers 21 h la jeune fille en charge viendra nous chercher pour nous diriger à notre table qui au surprise sont des tables bistrot au fond du restaurant. Je lui dis qu'il y a une erreur.Ma réservation est dans la verrière & celle ci a été confirmée plutôt dans la journée car on séjourne au château.bref j'épargne les détails finalement on nous place à la verrière. On commence à manger il est 22h 10. Je suis déçue ça me dérange pas de payer lorsque tout roule mais là ce n'était pas le cas. Service très moyen ça manque de fini oui c'est un bistro mais nous somme au château. La veille nous y sommes allés au bar par contre & wow au barman & barmaid professionnel & sympathique l'équipe qui y était 23 févrieView more
Last Sunday my wife & I were at the Chateau for one night (room # 1516) & we were looking forward to having dinner at Sam's restaurant by the window overlooking St. Lawrence river but we were told that the best that they could offer was a non window table for 2, earliest 8 45pm & would call us in the unlikely event of a cancellation for an earlier seating. As there was no call, we disappointedly showed up at 8:45pm & the hostess at that time Elyse, even without having mentioned of our initial request took the trouble of finding us a table by a window & the dinner (specially the seafood casserole) was scrumptious which made our evening so perfectly romantic. So we thought it was worthy of mention as it is the hallmark of customer care. Thank you so much ElyseView more
Super expérience au Sam Bistro, au Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Un restaurant moderne & feutré. J'ai pris en entrée la soupe à l'oignon gratiné, bonne portion donc faire attention si vous avez pas une grosse appétit! Pour le principal une bavette de boeuf, petit morceau & bonne portion de salade, juste parfait pour avoir de la place pour le dessert! & pour terminer avec le dessert, un gâteau au fromage, juste wow! Merci à notre serveur pour le bon service.View more
Gentleman who served us was very professional & friendly. Food was great. French onion soup had a bit too much cheese 😅 but it was great. We had the table on hallway & lighting (one of those rechargeable tabletop lamp) felt strong & cheap. Overall had good experience :)View more
The place is great with an amazing view! Best location in Quebec city. Ask to be seated by the window. We were served by Annick, she was fantastic & lovely. All staff is really nice. The food was good, my favorite were the duck wings, absolutely delicious! This place is really worth visiting. Plus, you should know parking is free when you eat here!View more
Le cadre est majestueux & la vue sur le St Laurent est exceptionnel. Nous avons demandé une table proche des baies vitrées pour profiter de la vue & déguster de succulents plats. Le soleil & le ciel bleu étaient au rendez-vous ce qui nous a permis de profiter du moment présent avec un maître d'hôtel au petit soin pour nous. Je dois dire que le service en hôtellerie & restauration au Québec est plus de professionnel ! De l'entrée au dessert, nous nous sommes régalés. Je ne peux que vous conseillez ++++ de venir vous régaler dans ce restaurant.View more
