Having traveled part of the globe to demonstrate the richness of our culture and our traditions, the idea of creating Sagamité was born from the desire to make known our beautiful culture at home in Wendake.
The Sagamité Restaurant in Wendake was founded in 1999 and since then, we have been welcoming local, regional and worldwide customers curious to discover our culture through a gastronomic experience. The name of the restaurant testifies to this by its name; for the Wendat, Sagamité was at the heart of our diet. It is a soup-meal enriched with game where we find the famous “Three Sisters”: squash, corn and red beans, that we cultivate.
Since July 2019, the Sagamité Vieux-Québec restaurant has been introducing First Nations gastronomy to visitors to the historic district of Québec.
The Sagamité restaurant has traced the path of Aboriginal gastronomy, which we have demystified over time thanks to game. It is an establishment of choice for a clientele curious to live a gourmet and cultural experience at the same time.
The Saga Nomade Food Truck can be found all around Québec City and is also available for private events. Our specialties include our Signature poutine and our Elk burger. This is street food with an indigenous twist!
Sagamité offers a unique and memorable culinary journey into Indigenous cuisine in the heart of Quebec City. Guests frequently praise the restaurant for its exceptional selection of game meats like elk, deer, and bison, often highlighting the signature flambéed dishes as a spectacular highlight. The atmosphere is consistently described as warm, authentic, and culturally immersive, while the staff members are widely recognized for their knowledge, kindness, and dedication to providing an outstanding dining experience. Many visitors appreciate the thoughtful presentation of each course, from the flavorful signature soup and tartare to the delightful maple pie, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a high-quality, culturally significant meal.
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.
This was such a lovely place to stop for dinner! The waiter was very informative & helped me pick a very interesting meal that included deer, elk & Buffalo meat, all of which was delicious. The sides were thoughtfully prepared too, & the dessert was delicious. I also felt that everything was very reasonably priced for the quality, though I did choose a more expensive meal.
We happened on to Sagamite looking for a light lunch. It was it busy & we were quickly seated. Wow, the decor is spectacular with totem poles, canoe & some great paintings. It focuses of food from the First Nation. We shared the appetizer of pastry with venison & elk. It was very good with a tasty sauce. A unique & special restaurant.
Loved the indigenous slant to the menu. We had elk terrine & potted duck confit with toast, & the salad with duck confit - they were very similar to similar dishes we'd had in the Dordogne Valley in France. The venison steak & the deer & elk medallions were delicious, & the staff were uniformly kind & knowledgeable.
F as may dining with interesting game meat & of course a high price. Nice ambiance & good services. The flame plate with deer, bison & elk was nice & presented well. The maple pie was ok but not as special as expected. Veggies on the plate unfortunately didn't look too fresh. Nice try to nice a while.
Wonderful restaurant. The staff really know there stuff took me through the menu. Very knowledgeable about all the items & how to enjoy them. I went for the set menu. Everything was great, & the main course of Elk, Venison, & bison flambéed on a hot stone tripod was such a deligh. I love the fact you can finish the meat to your own level of'rareness'. I was well fed but still found room for the maple pie which was a brilliant finish to a great meal. Absolutely amazed by this place, if you are in Old Quebec then check them out.
It was an amazing fine dining experience; great atmosphere, very friendly staff & fresh, great quality & splendid taste. We came here as a group & tried many of the menu items, but most of us ordered "Yatista" which includes Venison Puff Pastry, Sagamité Soup or Warm Duck Salad, Maple Pie, tea or coffee. For your meat, you have the option between shrimp, filet mignon, deer & elk or deer & elk & chef's choice (which was bison at that time). I strongly recommend Yatista as it's a very unique experience where they cook the meat to medium rare, & serve it on a hot stone; once they put it on fire, you can adjust it to your liking. Everything was very delicious; soup, duck salad & of course the pie. My favorite meat was bison & then elk.
I took my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner, we were here visiting all the way from New Jersey USA. It was our first time trying native American style food & I would say 98% of it we enjoyed! There was one dish we weren't particularly a fan of the taste but we loved the duck salad, deer/elk/bison dish cooked over the flame & the maple pie were all delicious! Our host Robert was also amazing, he kindly kept the restaurant open a bit longer for us to dine for dinner. He's very attentive & helpful explaining the menu to us & making suggestions. He was very friendly & welcoming, a great server to our experience! The restaurant has a great atmosphere & would recommend any one to try it out & have a great experience as we did. Thank you again!
