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.
Une soupe trop cher pour un peu de maïs & un bouillon avec un peu de viande
Un ribs minuscule mal décongelé servi froid qui ne saura pas satisfaire un bon mangeur
Décevant
Ce restaurant est une célébration de la gastronomie, où chaque élément du repas est composé avec une précision presque orchestrale. Le tartare d'entrée mérite une mention spéciale, venant compléter ce tableau déjà époustouflant. Préparé avec un mélange d'assaisonnements méticuleusement choisis, ce plat élève la notion d'entrée à un nouveau niveau d'excellence. L'équilibre subtil entre épices & herbes affine le goût des viandes sauvages sans jamais les masquer, témoignant d'un respect inébranlable pour la qualité intrinsèque des ingrédients. Il sert d'ouverture idéale pour le festin à venir, établissant d'emblée un niveau de qualité que le reste du repas ne fait qu'amplifier.
Le summum de cette symphonie culinaire est sans doute la viande, dont la cuisson atteint un bleu chaud parfait, un tour de force gastronomique rarement vu même dans les établissements les plus renommés. Les assaisonnements, discrets mais déterminants, magnifient chaque plat, jusqu'au differentes mayonnaises, qui apportent un équilibre délicat qui souligne plutôt que masque la saveur originale des aliments. La soupe, souvent reléguée au rôle de simple préambule, était un chef-d'oeuvre à part entière, démontrant que même les éléments les plus humbles du menu étaient dignes d'attention.
Le dessert conclut ce festin d'une manière exceptionnelle, marquant le point d'orgue d'un repas déjà inoubliable. Bien équilibré entre sucre & douceur, il démontre un souci du détail qui est la marque des grands établissements. Les saveurs sont harmonieusement réparties, créant une expérience gustative complexe sans jamais tomber dans l'excès.
L'ambiance sonore, portée par une musique amérindienne soigneusement choisie, enrichit l'expérience de façon naturelle & immersive. Les tonalités traditionnelles ajoutent une profondeur culturelle cohérente avec l'identité du lieu, prolongeant dans l'espace ce que l'assiette exprime par le goût. L'ensemble crée une expérience sensorielle complète, où la gastronomie & l'atmosphère dialoguent avec justesse.
Je suis retourné au restaurant quelques mois plus tard & l'ambiance est parfaite. Les raviolis, eux aussi succulents, furent une très belle surprise, ajoutant une nouvelle dimension à ce festin déjà exceptionnel. L'équilibre des saveurs dans ce plat révèle une maîtrise culinaire remarquable, où chaque bouchée est une explosion de goûts harmonieux.
Ce restaurant offre une expérience gastronomique sans égale, où chaque plat est une véritable oeuvre d'art, minutieusement composée & magistralement exécutée. L'excellence est la norme ici, une norme qui est non seulement atteinte mais régulièrement dépassée, redéfinissant ce que l'on peut attendre d'un établissement de cette envergure. Le simple fait de dîner ici est une aventure culinaire qui restera gravée dans la mémoire, établissant un nouveau standard dans l'art de la haute cuisine.
Incredibly flavorful food; unique indigenous menu; prices reflect the quality & craft of the food. We went here on a whim & were thrilled with our meal. I recommend trying the Sagamite soup as an appetizer. The meats of our main dishes were phenomenal & well paired with sauces & veggies. Highly recommend going here.

Greeted by totems of history & a real wood burning fireplace, the wild game meats served were the best cuts & flavours I have experienced so far within Canada.
First Nations cuisines at its finest. A cultural culinary experience everyone must try. Options for young diners & those who appreciate quality game from elk, venison, bison & more. You can find it all here. Every dish is presented with exquisite visual appeal & the flavours to follow are such a pleasure for the pallet.
We ordered the Gallows of the Three Plumes & were able to order & share both appetizers; Sagamité soup & warm duck salad. The maple pie was unexpectedly not too sweet & the perfect texture of a slightly crunchy crust with a custard like body.
Can't wait to come back to old Quebec City & try the rest of the menu.
This restaurant is bypassed by many people. The signage is very subtle & the menu in French appears a little daunting. But you walk in & you know it is a great choice, very intimate with a wonderful & helpful staff. I had the venison tartare & a superb soup. The fish dish my partner had was well presented & perfectly cooked Do This !!
Highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic taste of local cuisine. Everything was above & beyond! The Sagamite soup was absolutely delicious. There aren't many places I'd go back to, but this is definitely one of them.
We celebrated our anniversary there on a quiet weeknight. Everything was perfect: Sagamité soup, onion soup, short ribs, salmon & sugar pie. Will visit again when we are back in the area.
The venison in puff pastry appetizer was very good & the Sagamite soup was delicious! My dining companion ordered the bison short ribs which were fall off the bone tender. I had the salmon & smoked trout which was cooked to perfection The staff were extremely pleasant, efficient & attentive. We stumbled onto this restaurant! What a wonderful find!
Beautiful place with amazing food! 6 of us went for dinner & everything was great- especially the onion soup, deer & elk medallions, bison ribs & 3 antlers which was also fun in its presentation. The service was excellent & they made some excellent recommendations as it was our first time here. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area!
