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!
Sagamité offers a remarkable culinary experience where guests can discover Indigenous cuisine in a warm and beautifully decorated environment. The menu features a wide variety of high-quality game meats, with the signature potence being a highlight that many visitors highly recommend for its unique presentation and flavor.

Exceptional service is frequently noted, as the staff members are consistently praised for their professionalism, passion, and ability to provide insightful menu recommendations that enhance the dining experience. Whether for a special occasion, a family gathering, or a memorable evening, the restaurant stands out as a unique destination in the region.
Nous avons été servis par Robert, une perle de serveur, professionnel, qui connaît son menu. La nourriture est excellente. Je recommande à 100%. Nous y retournerons, c'est assuré.
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.
Superbe expérience ! Accueil & service excellents ! Les plats sont délicieux & frais. La salle est très jolie. Je recommande vivement cette adresse. Nous y avons brunché quelques semaines plus tard & également diné lors du Pow Wow 2024. Un vrai régal ! À recommander sans hésiter.

Food was hit or miss. We ordered the five course meal with three meats, duck nachos smashed potatoes poutine, chicken wing appetizer, & the poke bowl. The meats were cold. The smashed potato poutine was good & the Sagamité was incredible. Did not care for the soup of the day (a zucchini cream). Loved the bread. The duck poke was not good at all. Server was over-worked but we as amazing. Restaurant is attractive & clean with lots of open space & natural light. However, be careful: my son's water glass broke in his mouth as he was drinking & he ended up with broken glass in his mouth-very dangerous.
Nous aimons beaucoup Wendake. Nous avons toujours été bien accueillis. Ce restaurant est dans la même lignée. Il est beau, on mange bien & le service est bon. Merci pour votre gentillesse.
Ma seule déception, dans ce cadre imprégné de la magnifique culture Wendat, la musique d'ambiance est composé de succès américains, alors qu'il existe une variété de musique issue des nations autochtones. Je vous suggère de modifier votre playlist. Le repas était excellent & le service de grande qualité.
