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.
Nous avons soupé pour la première fois chez Sagamité & nous avons adoré ! Notre serveuse était très gentille & nous a bien conseillé ! Nous avons pris en entrée la soupe Sagamité (très bonne) & ensuite le Yatista avec les 3 viandes (cerf, wapiti & bison), excellent aussi :)
Tout était délicieux! Le gravlax de truite était savoureux, la soupe Sagamité, une belle découverte & les médaillons de Wapiti & cerf parfaitement cuits. Mon coup de coeur, le gratin au fromage Calumet! Moilleux & goûteux à souhait.
I truly enjoyed this experience & discovery of First Nation food. Service was warm & friendly. The meat was delicious, & I truly loved the whole table d'hôte menu with soup, & dessert. The home made maple tart was heaven. 😋

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.
Chez Sagamite in historic Old Quebec is a delight. The service was great & the food was fantastic. The restaurant represents a bit of a fusion between the French & the Native Indian population with many dishes including elk, venison, & bison. My wife started with their excellent house soup which includes the three meats plus corn, squash & beans. I enjoyed a cream of cauliflower soup. She followed with surf & turf with a delicious mushroom based dipping sauce. I recommend the spaghetti with venison, bison & elk. Pair all of this with a bottle of Pinot noir & finish with their phenomenal maple pie (it is Canada after all!). You can't go wrong by choosing this place for dinner! Business casual attire is just fine. You will need a reservation though.
Deer & Elk medallion steak is fantastic. The blueberry sauce ties it all together perfectly. The Sagamite soup is tongue melting. Beef filet mignon was killer. Fantastic experience overall. Best red meat I've ever had. Good house red wine.
Nous étions des adeptes du Sagamité avant l'incendie. Première fois ce soir, 5 mars que nous y retournions.... Après plus de 30 minutes d'attente... Personne n'était venu prendre nos apéritifs... Je comprends que le serveur semblait être occupé, mais il y avait 3 autres personnes sur le planchers & malgré que j'ai demandé à celui qui nous a servi de l'eau les choix de vin au verre... À aucun moment un employé nous a demandé si nous voulions un apéritif... La fille au bar lavait ses verres, l'hôtesse démontait les tables du souper pour préparer le service du déjeuner, celui qui nous avait servi de l'eau se promenait dans le restaurant. Vraiment décevant. Nous nous sommes levés & sommes partis sans avoir de service après plus de 30 minutes.
A really unique dining experience. The house elk soup is delicious. The fish with cranberry chutney is an interesting mix of savoury & sweet. I was so impressed with how well it was cooked: melt in your mouth smooth with barely any bones in it. The restaurant has some cool pieces of Indigenous art as well. The only critiques was that the T-bone was a little tough but it came with an amazing sauce to balance this. Thank you for a great experience!
Nous sommes arrivés pour notre réservation de 13 heures où le serveur nous a demandé si nous préférions prendre le menu du déjeuner ou du soir, ce que j'ai vraiment apprécié. J'ai apprécié la variété de viandes & d'options de déjeuner. La plupart des assiettes coûtaient entre 20 & 25$, ce qui, à mon avis, est maintenant la norme dans n'importe quel restaurant qui sert le déjeuner. Mon mari a pris le club canard & moi le chasseur. Je suggère fortement le chasseur, il contient du bacon de sanglier, une saucisse de gibier, des rillettes de canards, 2 oeufs & du pain de bannique. C'était très bon, & c'était different tout en restant un bon déjeuner "classic". Nous reviendrons un autre jour pour essayer le menu du souper.
Nous aurions aimé qu'au dessert il y ait la parade avec tambour pour nos 3 Fêtés - autrement, ce fut un souper fantastique. C'est beaucoup plus raffiné qu'auparavant. Merci !
