Epic. Keep reading if you want details but this place is old school and epic. We made reservations a month in advance. We were sat at a lovely window side table. Our party of 4 did the following: Caesar sale for 4, 2 shrimp cocktail, escargot for starters. For mains we had the beef tartare, the chateaubriand, and the scallops. The service at this place is very old school and upscale. I loved every minute of it. Our server prepared the salads, the tartare, and finished the chateaubriand at our table side. Everything, and I mean everything, was cooked/prepared perfectly and was absolutely delicious. Our server was giving us the history of the foods we were ordering. This place is a diamond encased in amber. Will always return here whenever I'm in QC. read more

Le Continental - Epic meal ahead - French Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

We stopped in here during the 65 Peewee tournament with our 10 year old son. This was his first time experiencing fine dining and loved every second of it. The waiter was great. My wife had the Filet Mignon and it was cooked right by the table. My son had the Whisky shrimp which was also cooked right next to the table. Both of them loved their meals. I had the beef Wellington and it was delicious. If you're looking for some upscale dining this place will not disappoint. read more

This is my second time at this restaurant. A group of us came here (from Boston) a year ago and was so impressed that we agreed to make this trip again. This is fine dining that went above and beyond. The food was exceptional, just as we all remembered it. Our group had the fillet mignon, fish, and scallops; all were an absolute delight. But the best part of our evening was our server, Andre'. It is hard to find a server who delivers in both service and entertainment. He was informative, attentive, and relatable. He made suggestions when he sensed we couldn't decide, made jokes when appropriate, and shared a little bit about himself when asked. As a frequent diner of a variety of foods and restaurants, I appreciate a place such as this that takes the time to make their food exceptional, the atmosphere just right, and finding the right staff to showcase their place. My group and I will be back! Thank you, Andre for an amazing evening! read more

Place was Bougie with great service. As a foodie and wine lover - having your wine on time with your meal is key! Many places do not understand that.. this waiter was busy - dealing with 3-4 tables at the same time, but got us the wine in time to enjoy our steak. Many of the meals here are cooked table side, so all the credit for flavor and prep of the food goes to the same waiter serving you. Food was delicious.. We had a quiet table in the corner of the restaurant - so it made for a nice quiet meal. read more

Not to be a hater.... But it was hard to justify the cost of our meals with the quality we received. I like the charade of the steaks being cooked at our table and the Caesar salad being prepared (which was by the way the best thing I ate here), but I felt like it was a bit impractical. First off, we all received steaks. There was about 8 of us. All steaks were asked to be prepared medium-rare, but a few were served well (very very little pink). This presents an awkward situation, because if I send the steak back, are they supposed to cook it in front of us all again? I do question if it overcooked because it was sitting in a boiling sauce that it was served with... However, it just presented us with an uncomfortable situation; because when you pay for a nice steak, you should expect nice quality. Now, I think that cutting the steak before serving it may not be fancy, but how else are they checking the temperature? It was very upsetting. I do give hands down because we were put into a separate space and the waiters were friendly and personable. I do have to say that the Caesar salad was amazing! If I were to go back, I think this would be the only thing I order. I hope to give another try, but I don't want to pay mucho money for another disappointing visit. read more

So we spent $600 but don't regret it! The food was amazing and because so much is done table side, you could consider this a dinner and a show! The steaks were amazing, the rack of lamb was superb, and the beef Wellington was great too. We also got a lobster tail, sautéed mushrooms, and mashed potatoes that were yumm-o. Next to the steaks the BEST thing we ordered was the Caesar Salad- it was also $65 but again the best salad I have had. The desserts were the least of the experience. The Black Forest cake was actually not good at all but the flamed Alaska was yummy and fun. There are not many places where you can step back in time and this place is one! read more

Had a wonderful evening at Le continental. Everything was top notch from the appetizers, food, service and Extensive wine list. We tried just about everything here lobster, crab, salmon , Escargot, carpaccio, veal, chateaubriand, lamb shanks, and a variety of delicious desserts! The service was excellent our waiter was amazing! He flambéed the filet mignon crêpe Suzette tableside and had us join in. Fun experience great food. read more

Escargots did disappointed me. It take $19 and but the taste are just like one the selling in the supermarket. Nothing special except strong butter flavor. . Delice Crabe is an appetizer, but I have to say DO NOT ORDER THIS ONE. It takes $35 and only offer you and small stack of crab meet with tartar sauce. This is a very valueless dishes. Oh and there is another appetizer Shrimp and Cocktail sauce, I can guarantee that must be the same with the one selling in Costco . Wellington takes $79, which taste just okay. The puff pastry is crispy but the beef tender inside it's too light and bland. . Noisettes Veau(Beef tender) takes $67, which is same level of Wellington beef. It has jelly red wine sauce with it, but the beef taste bland. It came up with foie gras and the foie gras taste good. . Carre agneau Victoria takes $61, it's the only good dish we had at that night. . Legume takes $10/each. I can say it's bland too, same function with butter. You can ask for butter for free so don't need to waste this 10 dollar. . Breads are for free and you can refill as much as you want. At the meanwhile we are waiting for our dishes, this is the only thing we can eat. If you really want to go to this restaurant, you HAVE TO MAKE RESERVATION in at least 4 week in advance. I have booked 3 weeks before I go but I only got 8:30pm spot. They are fully booking everyday so for sure they won't take walk-in. The vibe are just ok, light are pretty dark, which made me little bit uncomfortable, so I don't really understand why people rate it so high. I will say 3 out of 5 is the most I can rate. read more

Food was ok but not worth the money. It was pricey and their signature dish Beef Wellington was somewhat disappointing.

I went here with a group and had no idea what to expect. It was DFS best meal of my visit!!! We started with raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller, escargot and the Caesar salad. Oysters were great, Caesar is made table side and huge (we got it for 3, but it fed 6), but the star was the escargot. I've never had it before, but with the bread and garlic butter it was amazing! Entree I had the filet mignon, with a lobster tail. It was great and being flambéed took the food and experience to another level. Also had a flambéed Irish whiskey for after dinner!!! read more

This restaurant has classic old school dining written all over it. The quality of the food itself I'd probably rate a 4/5 but they provided a really enjoyable and unique dining experience, which bumps my review up to 5 stars. Also location is fantastic and they have free valet parking! They specialize in flambé dishes and table side cooking, so definitely recommend ordering at least one of those. Our server was wonderful and he took the time to explain everything he was doing. We had the Caesar salad, filet mignon, and duck a la orange. Also ordered the scallops, which taste-wise was probably my favorite dish and definitely the best in terms of presentation (not prepared table side though). Save some room for their crepe Suzette for dessert! read more

Came to Quebec to see the sights and saw that they have L'orange Duck which I wanted to try so I booked a 8:30 reservation with for the wife and I. The service was amazing and the food is so good. We had the Foie Gras and escargot for appetizer. For the entree we had L`orange Duck with a side of Potatoes dauphinois. Amazing dish loved the way they cooked the Duck in front of us we thoroughly enjoy watching the Flambé. read more

I chose this place by the reviews, unfortunately. This place is high-end, judging by pricing and decor. However food quality is just mediocre. Pricing is out of this world and really I've had much better food (in Quebec city) for half the cost I spent here while still within "fine-dinning quality". I felt I'm paying for the peace and quiet and multiple people serving us here. Watching other tables- some have ordered a dish that require flambé or prep at your table. If you're interested in such services- this place offers it. My dishes didn't require these processes. My friend and I ordered beef wellington, lamb chop and escargot. Escargot is 25% more expensive than another place I tried in the city and the taste is the same. Why? Likely because it's all thawed frozen or canned brine meat. The only prep is adding garlic butter and baking. I now know it won't be special unless I'm in Europe where it's fresh. Bread that came was not fresh out of the oven. Wasn't even warm. My beef wellington was decent size and very filling. The sauce was supposed to have foie gras. It likely did but the sauce was a bit too salty to taste what the sauce consisted of. The beef cut was nice and soft, somewhat juicy. In the end I recall I prefer a prime rib cut at The Keg as it's more flavourful. The pastry shell for the Wellington was done well, nicely formed, flaky. The vegetables that came with the wellington were bland to my amaze. My friend's lamb shank were medium rare, nice and soft, well presented but lacked any flavour compared to other restaurants. There were so many people serving us, taking away dish etc. that I lost track of who our waiter was. At the fairmont QC it was just two people and mostly the waiter. Overall my disappointing meal could of cost 60 elsewhere but instead was 120. In addition my friend also didn't like the taste of her lamb because we had ate at Louise Tavern n Bar the night before (for half the price and much better food). Or if you're on a budget and La Maison Smith is still open their food is very good and nearby. But here's my dinner recommendation: Lōuise Taverne & Bar à Vin- they don't have as many reviews but it was jam packed busy and food is top notch. See my review. read more

Wow. Just wow. From the ambience to the service to the food.... Everything about this experience was excellent. We had a party of 8 and the service was impeccable. We covered several items on the menu and to a person, everyone raved about it with comments like "best I've ever had". At the top of the list is the filet, Caesar salad, and the seafood tower. It's worth every penny, and I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

The service and experience is A+++ I do think their food needs to be updated because of the price point but my boyfriend and I had a great time and felt like we were really taken care of. Our favorite was definitely the maple soup. So good! Escargot: good Maple Soup: Amazing Filet Mignon: sauce needs to be updated, I think it could be better cooked, the crusted side didn't do it for me :( Veal: a bit tough, sauce needs to be updated If I were to come back I'm definitely doing the peppercorn steak, caesar salad, and grilled shrimp read more

Very nice continental restaurant. Recommended by concierge at Hotel (Chateau Frontenac) Waitstaff wear white tuxedo jackets. The shrimp cocktail (4) was very good. The lobster bisque was good (4 lobster pieces). Caesar salad made tableside. A bit too overdressed The salmon was a bit overcooked. The scallop entree was very good Show tunes throughout dinner Passed on dessert read more

It's impossible to articulate everything we loved about this place. The servers (who undergo 3 years of table side meal prep training before earning their white jackets), the wine list (had an awesome Barolo), the appetizers (get the two versions of the seared foie gras), entrees (flambéed lobster and filet mignon are winners), and the desserts (cherries jubilee was to die for). While all of the above are key, the biggest experience is the table side food prep! Situated in a great part of Quebec City, you can't go wrong. read more

Definitely old school. It's an older crowd with some no-longer-fashionable dishes. But out of fashion doesn't mean bad by any means. We finished with crepes Suzette with the caramel made table side and they were good. The draw here is that they flame your food right by your table. That's a lot of fun-in the US safety measures and lawsuit worries have pretty much abolished this. The meats were good, as was the maple turnip soup. The potatoes and side vegetables came straight out of the Seventies, as did the elevator grade piano music. Staff was skilled and helpful. Your waiter is also your chef. If you love table side flames, this is the place for you. read more

This was our last night of our vacation in Quebec City and we're wanting something special. We made a reservation at Le Continental which was very nice. We were greeted at the door and promptly seated. We asked about sharing a salad which they graciously accommodated. They had croutons on the side since my wife is gluten free and served her a small plate of gluten free bread. We ordered the duck ala orange flambed table side and they prepared it with a gluten free sauce. The server then deboned the duck and served us. Magnificent dinner as the duck was as excellent as the service we received there. read more

To begin with, the service was impeccable really 5 star restaurant service. Linens and silverware were exactly how I would imagine the best restaurants of the roaring 20's would be. It was all top drawer. It is an old fashioned restaurant and that has to be kept in mind. The ambience and decor was top notch. The salad to start was great. The appetizer was wonderful. One entree which was the sweetbreads was great. So, why is this 4 stars? Well, it was all going quite swimmingly until the big shared entree, Entrecote. Prepared table side by our waiter, he had executed everything perfectly, from the heating of the pans, the melting of the butter, the flambe of the cognac, the cream, and the peppercorns, cooked to medium rare. I took the first bite, and then added salt, but it still felt flat. So, what happened? Although the procedure was perfectly executed, the procedure as envisioned by the chef left a lot of flavor on the table. The waiter was careful not to overbrown the steak. Which would have been okay if we were talking about well marbled USDA prime. I think somebody, probably a crunchy hipster, purchased organic grass fed without understanding that the procedure has to be changed to accomodate this different kind of meat. You don't have the fat to deliver flavor. It's also going to be dry and tougher. Grass fed requires different techniques, ie dry aging, sous vide, more salt, etc and more Maillard. Granted, our waiter bringing out a SU-V gun flame thrower would have probably given a few of the guests a heart attack. It was such a main part of the meal that reluctantly, I do need to dock a star in honesty. The steaks need a top to bottom rethink. Are you going to go USDA prime style corn finished, luxuriant epic Vanderbilt style, or more modern organic grass fed molecular gastronomy style. You can't mix and match. read more

One of the fancy restaurant in Quebec City. Located in the Vieux Québec, a few minutes walk from Le Château Frontenac. Having a dinner with my love on her birthday and oh my did we made the right choice! As soon as you walk in, there's a hostess to hang your jacket. All services and waiter are delightful! We started off with Foie gras poêlé and à salmon tartar. Both were amazing! Salmon tartar was super flavourful and fresh. The foie gras... OMG. Yep, once I started I couldn't stop, the fois gras melt in my mouth super smoothly. If you go, this is a MUST order. For main course, my wife took the French lamp chop and I chose filet mignon from their famous flambé menu. The lamp chops was beautifully cook to the level my wife asked for and I took a bite... I think it's the best lamp chop I have ever tasted yet! When you order from the flambé menu, the waiter will cook your order right in front of you. Freshness, the outstanding smell of butter cooking a steak... Just wow. How did it taste? Super juicy and tasty! Overall it was a great experience! Unfortunately we also ordered a lobster bisque but it was wayyyy to salty and had to return it. I didn't like the decor of the restaurant, it was a bit outdated but my wife returned me with "hey tu es à Vieux-Québec, c'est comme ça et c'est classique." to which... I thought for a moment.. She got a point lol. It's not a place that I could afford to have dinner there every night, but for the occasion, for my love, it's totally worth it! read more

This is my first 5-Star rating ever but I can't say anything bad about my recent dinner experience. From the time you walk thru the front door, Welcomed by the maitre'd, greeted by your waiter, and sat in awe at the attentiveness of all the staff, you just have to say, "WOW!" I have not experienced this level of service in all of my travels. Anyone who rated this average or below probably ate at a different restaurant. This establishment is about a 2 minute wake from the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. Now onto the experience. I ordered escargot to start and of course it was great. While I enjoyed my escargot my waiter prepared my Caesars Salad table side explaining each of the process and ingredients. Then I got to enjoy my salad while my waiter started my Shrimp Flambe (table side of course). After cooking my shrimp and explaining the process and adding the lobster bisque sauce he took the time to place each shrimp up as if they were standing up. I watched my waiter take care of 3 other tables in the same 1st class level of service. He watched every table and knew exactly when to start each of their meals in a timely manner. Not one person had to wait or ask for anything. Even the support staff watched intently each table waiting to be of service. You will NOT regret taking the time and spending the money on this fabulous EXPERIENCE. Not just the food but the whole Experience... Little pricey, but WORTH every penny... read more
