Ayant parcouru une partie du globe pour démontrer la richesse de notre culture et nos traditions, l’idée de créer la Sagamité est née du désir de faire connaître notre si belle culture chez nous à Wendake.
Le Restaurant Sagamité de Wendake a vu le jour en 1999 et depuis, on y reçoit une clientèle locale, régionale et de partout au monde curieuse de découvrir notre culture à travers une expérience gastronomique. Le nom du restaurant en témoigne par son nom; pour les Wendats la Sagamité était au cœur de notre alimentation. Il s’agit d’une soupe-repas enrichie de gibier où nous retrouvions les fameuses «Trois sœurs» : courges, maïs et fèves rouges, que nous cultivions.
Depuis juillet 2019, le restaurant Sagamité Vieux-Québec fait découvrir la gastronomie des Premières Nations aux visiteurs du quartier historique de Québec.
Le restaurant Sagamité a tracé le sentier de la gastronomie autochtone, que nous avons démystifiée avec le temps grâce au gibier. Il s'agit d'un établissement de choix pour une clientèle curieuse de vivre une expérience gourmande et culturelle à la fois.
La Saga Nomade sillonne les rues de Québec et est également disponible pour des événements privés. Parmi nos spécialités, vous pourrez trouver la poutine forestière et le burger de wapiti. Découvrez la cuisine de rue à saveur autochtone!
Sagamité propose une expérience culinaire mémorable ancrée dans la culture autochtone, reconnue pour sa sélection unique de viandes sauvages comme le bison, le wapiti et le cerf. Les convives soulignent régulièrement la présentation impressionnante des plats, notamment les spécialités de viandes flambées au brandy, ainsi que des incontournables savoureux tels que la soupe traditionnelle et la tarte à l'érable. Le restaurant est très apprécié pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et rustique ainsi que son décor authentique, qui créent un cadre immersif. Bien que certains notent que les prix reflètent la nature haut de gamme des ingrédients et de l'expérience globale, beaucoup estiment que la combinaison d'une cuisine de grande qualité et d'un service attentionné en fait une adresse incontournable à Québec.
When I discovered this unique place during my research of Old Quebec City, I knew had to go. They lived up to my expectations. Their menu is so unique I had to order something I knew I could get at home. Also, I usually don't eat a big dinner. I went for the two tartare of venison & salmon. Yes, salmon I can get in a sushi restaurant, but in case I did not like the venison I knew I would eat the salmon. Well, the venison was simply heavenly. It came with a generous salad to help balance the meal. I wish I had taken a better picture, but I was ready to dive into my meal. I was very glad that I made a reservation because the place filled up quickly. Eating here will be a very fond memory when I look back on my travels.
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!
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 dining experience here was enjoyable, but perhaps a bit expensive. We did the three meat combo, & while much of the meat was delicious, one of the pieces was mostly tendon & wasn't edible. It would have been better to have nicer cuts of meat. The maple pie was delicious! Overall, a unique dining experience, but we weren't impressed by the food.
Nous avons profité du menu cinq (5) services à 95$ dans le cadre de Québec - Table Gourmande. Nous avons adoré les pétoncles & le calumet fondant. La soupe Sagamité était aussi très bonne, mais ça demeure une soupe à la viande hachée... Les médaillons était corrects... le cerf étant beaucoup plus tendre que le wapiti. J'ai trouvé le tout un peu cher pour la qualité bien qu'il s'agisse d'une occasion unique de goûter à de la viande sauvage. Le service était très avenant & la décoration sublime. Nous avons passé une agréable soirée.
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.
I would go again! The guinea fowl was prepared very well. A unique experience. I did wonder throughout my stay more about the restaurant's connection to the First Nations' community. I would have liked to learn more about how the restaurant supports & empowers First Nations. The experience felt a bit commercialized.
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.
