The Sagamité opened its doors in 1999, and people from all over the world have been invited to discover Indigenous culture through gastronomy ever since. This place is named after the meal that has nourished the nation for centuries: the sagamité soup, which consists of corn, squash and beans. The restaurant is located in downtown Wendake.
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!

Je commencerais en disant , qu'après avoir lu les commentaires négatifs & avoir été mangé sur place , j'ai eu l'impression d'avoir été complètement à un autre endroit que ceux qui ont mis 1 ou 2 étoiles. En commençant le serveur était SUR-LA-COCHE. Super sympathique , Nous a pris en charge à la minute même de notre arrivé, nous explicant le menu en détail, nous donnant des conseils selon nos goût. Ce fut Dur de faire un choix pour chacuns de nous, tout était tentant.(mon choix c'est arrêté sur la soupe en entré, le rib de bison en principale & tarte à l'érable en dessert) De l'entrée au dessert, nous nous sommes régalés. Nos estomacs bien remplis & Moi, qui est un gros mangeur, en redemander aurait été de la gourmandise. Nous nous sommes pas ruinés, avons eu beaucoup de plaisir & tout était délicieux. Un gros 10/10 je recommande!
Bon, étant quelqu'un de très difficile en restauration, je suis tombé en amour avec ce restaurant. Autant l'ambiance que la nourriture, que le service en soirée de Mme Meredith (Si je me trompe pas). Filet de doré & Ribs de Bison A1 En sortant j'avais déjà hâte d'y revenir Merci!
Un excellent endroit decouvert hier soir. Un bel espace agencé dans un style original des premières Nations. Une c uisine basée sur les produits de chasse & pêche. J'ai adoré les Ribbs de bison fumé puis la tarte exceptionnelle recommandée par le serveur. Nous avons apprécié son service fait avec gentillesse & attention à nôtre égards. Quel plaisir cet endroit.
My wife & I went there last night. They were very nice & accommodating on arrival. we each ordered wine & soup, to start. I had the Sagamite soup which was good. My wife had the onion soup, which was good, but nothing special. We did have onion soup on two other occasions on this trip, in Old City which were outstanding & this one was just pretty good compared. My wife had shrimp that came in a sauce that was a bit too sweet, for her, but that does not mean anything other than it was a little sweet for her taste, but the shrimp were excellent. The menu had some good selections & after discussing the options with the waiter, I chose the Bison short ribs. The options I discussed were the Bison short ribs, the Elk flank steak & deer & elk medallions.- When my meal came to the table, I had a flank steak delivered. I thought maybe they cut the bison into a steak cut, so I tasted it & it was not bison. It was a good steak, but very mild for bison (at least bison steaks I have had). I mentioned to the gentleman that delivered the dish that I ordered the short ribs & he looked very confused & took the plate back. The waiter then cam back with the plate & said that this is the correct order & that is what I ordered. He was a bit aggressive in his approach & that almost forced me to respond, but I stopped myself, as I did not want to make a scene & be "that guy". My wife & I told him that we were pretty sure I ordered the short ribs & he said that I said that I wanted the bison. I pointed out that the flank steak was elk & he said that they used bison today. Interesting that if I had just said I want bison, the only bison on the menu were the short ribs, the flank steak said it was elk. Not sure if they get charged back for mistake orders/returns. I decided to accept it, as it was pretty good, nut nothing really special in taste. Not the smoked & tender ribs we discussed. Anyway, trying to be as fair as possible on the quality, the soups were good, but nothing special in flavor. The shrimp were very well cooked & very good. The steak was a good piece of meat, but nothing special in flavor or preparation. He tried to give me an extra glass of wine for free, which I appreciated, but declined ( i already had 1 & was driving). He then brought out a slice of maple pie. Again appreciated, but not necessary. I guess very good for maple pie, but not a choice we would go to again.
Salle à manger agréable. Service sympathique. Nous étions 2 & avons pris le bison fumé: le nid de pommes de terre était tellement dur que même avec des couteaux à steak, on n'a pas réussi ni à piquer la fourchette dedans ou à le couper. J'ai dû me faire des toasts de retour à la maison!
Première visite depuis la réouverture. Un peu cher. Mais surtout, il manquait plusieurs choses: smoothies, chocolat chaud, bison, etc... tout de même très bon.
Ce n'est pas la qualité mais le goût. 2 Assiettes déjeuner avec bison fumé manquaient de saveur. Présentation sans couleur & raisins un peu trop mûres.
Mon conjoint & moi y sommes allés pour une première fois ce lundi & ce ne sera assurément pas la dernière! Une réussite du début à la fin. La serveuse nous a fait une excellente recommandation avec la Potence 3 panaches (cerf/wapiti/bison) avec, en entrées, le friand de gibier & la soupe Sagamité, ainsi qu'une délicieuse tarte pour le dessert. Le service était rapide, les portions généreuses. Tout était bien chaud & parfaitement assaisonné. Un sans faute. Un gros coup de coeur & certainement notre meilleure expérience gastronomique à ce jour. Bonne découverte!
Vraiment un bel endroit chaleureux, service lors du déjeuner impeccable & rapide, compte tenu du manque de personnel en restauration. L'omelette au bison fumée était délicieuse, le choix des plats pour déjeuner est très diversifiée.
