best meal we had in Québec by far! since they specialized in meats that most restaurants here do not serve, we had to try as many as possible. the elk & deer medallions were tender & super flavorful. we appreciated that it was not over seasoned & that we could taste the difference in meats. the short ribs of homademade smoke bison was tender & fall off the bone. the fries were super generous & the gravy the accompanied the short rib was excellent. the beef & venison tartare were super unique & delicious, definitely a must try. & the walleye fillet was cooked to perfection with a sweet cranberry sauce that complimented the dish perfectly. we also go the sagamite soup which was a nice lighter option, still loaded with meat & beans, to switch up the heavier options on our table. highly highly recommend this restaurant when in old quebec city!

i'd recommend making a reservation

This restaurant offers a selection of meals made with game meat (especially deer, elk, & bison). The taste of the meat is truly amazing. The variety of game dishes is impressive-you can even find game meat pizzas, & there's game meat spaghetti for the kids (& yes, there's one for adults too 😉).

We received truly exceptional service from Joëlle. Thank you so much for your warm welcome & for these dishes with such outstanding flavor.

P.S. What I didn't expect: the brownie was the best I've ever had, & the coffee was also great. What a fantastic dinner we had! Thank you!

When I first encountered this restaurant it seemed to me that the whole'First Nations food' thing was something of a gimmick that allowed them to charge higher prices. Tonight we decided to go back & actually dine there. I couldn't have been more wrong. The food is outstanding & quite varied.

We opted to go with the three antlers (deer, elk, & bison). It is presented in a very unique way: the pieces of meat are lightly cooked then attached to spokes on a hot stone. The arrangement is doused with brandy & lighted. The meat pieces are accompanied by three flavored mayonnaises. Along with this was a plate with a piece of potato casserole (outstanding - be absolutely sure you get some of this), a roasted carrot, a piece of broccoli & pureed butternut squash, & a selection of breads.

We perhaps let the venison cook a little too long before removing it from the stone as it was just a little overcooked. It had a great venison flavor. As soon as we tasted the venison, we hurriedly removed the rest of the meat from the rock. The elk was flavorful with no gamey taste, tender & juicy. The bison was completely outstanding. I would go back for just the bison & potatoes, but am thankful I got the three meat selection.

For dessert we had the maple pie. It was good, had a distinct maple flavor, but was kind of unidimensional / unlike everything else we had there. When paired with the berries decorating the plate the depth appeared to create something special.

Don't miss this place! It's not a gimmick. You will truly thank yourself for stopping in. It was obvious the chef was passionate about the dishes he created.

The food was super tasty, the waitstaff were super kind, helpful & patient. If traveling with toddlers or young kids, you should make reservations between 5-6. We showed up at 5:30 which was great since it meant our toddler wasn't too disruptive (it was starting to get busy by 6:30 when we left). We placed a special order of cherry tomato's for our toddler (she loves cherry tomato's) & they were super kind & responsive. I ordered the bison short ribs. The meat melted in your mouth. Other people order the elk & caribou medillons & they were super tasty as well. My wife ordered the bison ravioli but they didn't have any on hand & served her the tortellini instead. The tortellini & sauce was super good but you couldn't really taste the meat.

The food was wonderful! Everything we ordered was delicious. The ravioli & the Bison short ribs were definitely outstanding. We had the classic fire experience, & the meat was great, but some of the pieces were pretty undercooked, & the stone cooled down before we could make sure everything was cooked properly. All around pleasant experience though! I would definitely recommend it.

All in all-amazing experience & great time being in here! We came as walk-ins after carnaval, & were able to quickly be seated despite having no reservations. The service was incredibly efficient, warm, & inviting for the entire duration of our meal! Our Smoked salmon, walleye, & calumet (?) cheese were phenomenal-& our friend got the bison ribs, & was a big fan of that as well. All in all, I can give it 5 averys out of 5, easily & enthusiastically 💀🥰🥰

The food was delicious but overpriced for what we got. The service was great. Restaurent was empty during the carnaval supper time while othe places were full with wait time

Tartare de gibier & the tartare de boeuf was delicious, le calumet cheese was ok

The scallops were disappointing, very small scallops, but tasted good. The bison short ribs were delicious

We had an exceptional dining experience at Sagamite enjoying authentic Native American cuisine with game meats. The atmosphere was cozy, & the service was excellent. The ravioli filled with tender venison & smoky bison was truly exceptional. A culinary delight that comes highly recommended!

Nous y sommes allés à 4 adultes & 4 enfants pour le déjeuner, c'était tellement bon! Je vous conseille le bison, le burger de wapiti, le chasseur & le canard. Un délice ! Merci à l'équipe de la Sagamité.

Service & food was great. Had the three antlers meal & was not disappointed (except that it finished). I recommend trying Sagamite out if in the area & interested in trying deer, bison, elk etc.
