Hands down, the best restaurant I have eaten at the entire trip! Our group of 10 had reservations here and our server was probably the best we've had all weekend as well. While 4 of our friends did the pre-set menu, the rest of us ordered a la carte. Now, normally this is not allowed, as our server told us usually the entire table has to order one or the other. But since the 4 friends were all sitting together at a table that was pushed together with ours, he let us just this one time since their check would be separate. I forgot his name, but he was SUPER accommodating with food allergies and even made suggestions of how to modify the dishes. Great service most definitely. Ok, let's cut to the chase. Food... Seared Foie Gras (Appetizer) - MUST GET! Do not question it, just get it! It's seriously heaven in your mouth!! I would've ordered 2 orders if I knew how good this was! Turlo Farm Squab (Classic Meal) - Another MUST GET! It may look small, but it is DELISH! Squabs stuffed with Foie Gras...mmmm! Sooo good and flavorful! I love the side of veggies it comes with too! Ambiance of this restaurant is so quaint too with their garden like theme and dim lighting. Upstairs where the bathroom is has an entire room of wine too! Our table gladly helped polish off 3 of those bottles hehe. This place is a tad pricey, but completely worth every dollar! read more

Dinner at Le Saint-Amour was indulgent and memorable, a 5-star experience all around, and one of the best fine-dining French meals I've had outside of France! This is one of those special occasion restaurants where you expect to spend a bundle, and in return are treated to one of the most memorable meal experiences you'll ever have. The ambiance, service, food and wine are all top notch, and certainly justify the hefty price tag. Wanting to sample a bit of everything this place had to offer, my date and I went with the prix fixe menu with wine pairing. The courses proceeded as follows: amuse bouche trio, foie gras three ways, lobster corn soup, fish course, meat course (lamb tenderloin), cheese plate, dessert plate, and lastly coffee and chocolates. I enjoyed every course and felt that the meal was well-balanced with perfect portions and excellent wine pairings, leaving me thoroughly satisfied by meal's end. The wine menu here is one of the largest I've seen, with particular emphasis on the finest bottlings from every region of France. The most expensive bottle on the menu was a Petrus listed for $15,000! After the meal, our waiter (who is also a certified sommelier), took us upstairs to see their climate controlled wine room, with thousands of bottles. An impressive sight indeed! If you're looking for an unforgettable fine dining experience in Quebec City, especially a romantic dinner for two, then I highly recommend Le Saint-Amour. read more

One of the finest restaurants in Old Quebec! Wonderful service and outstanding food.

I went with a colleague on a Friday night and our experience started at the door when we were treated with ultimate enthusiasm. Our waiters were incredibly accommodating and understanding to my colleague who didn't want anything with alcohol. Our waiter made sure to list any items that might have had a hint of alcohol. Service was very attentive, friendly and professional. The whole staff seemed to really enjoy their job. We started by sharing an appetizer of the creamy mushroom and autumn vegetables: a symphony on a plate; starting with the chestnut mousse and working our palette to the butternut squash tartlets. The sweatbreads and shrimp were inspirational, definitely a must try! Finally, dessert arrived with a trio of chocolate bavaroise and a divine orange infused creme brûlée. Everything was a pleasure to the eye and a palette. Biggest recommendation: if you're trying le st amour, you better go all out! read more

A-must-go place for an exquisite French dinner in Quebec City! Menu changes occassionally and you can choose a set menu or an ala cartè. Hubby and I opted in for the ala cartè menu, and they were all amazing. Definitely recommend the foie gras appetizer as it is Chef Boulay's specialty. The filet mignon and duck entrees were both equally tasty as well. Finally, I highly recommend trying off their scrumptious dessert. This will complete your incredible French dinner for the evening. read more

What a delight and surprise. Nestled between four buildings is an enclosed court yard. You would never know what is happening in the outside world. It is covered so you can enjoy the sun without the rain. The staff in this establish were superb. I watched one table of twelve and the gentleman who was serving them and by the end of the evening his service and performance were so well choreographed he blended in. Our own service was perfect. Attentive to everything. We now have atmosphere and service. Moving to food. A memorable meal. We did the discovery meal. The smaller one. And there is not a single part that I can highlight over the other because each part was genius. The foie gras served two ways. The simple presentation was clean and took so much in the kitchen to make us appear so beautiful. The multiple accompanying sauces peaked my curiosity. Then the small cherry wrapped piece was unimaginable and I can still savor it in my dream. The mushroom crumble over the lobster bisque! Who does that? How to make a mushroom sweet and mysterious. The flavors coming from the bisque. They coaxed out the complexity again. Clean and simple and that is harder than fifteen ingredients. Artic char with smashed cauliflower and cauliflower couscous. So easy to eat and so perfectly cooked. Finally our filet mignon. To say that it was like butter would be an understatement. The truffle oil and the small piece of bread created a symphony of flavors. I appreciate that the dessert was simple and did not try to over power the meal. We were spoiled by the whole thing!! read more

Over priced and cold food. The service was very good, although our server had difficulty explaining the details of each menu item. We loved the foie gras experience. My wife had the filet, which she said was the best she ever had. I ordered the lamp chops which was served cold. The entire dinner with 2 cocktails each, the foie gras, two appetizers, two entree's and a $150 bottle of white French burgundy was $500. Over priced and under delivered experience. Save your money. read more

If I could give this restaurant six stars I would. Our waiter was fantastic and very very well refined in the way that he attended us. Save your money and treat yourself to the best restaurant in Quebec city. My wife had to duck and I had the fillet mignon which was unbelievable. The desserts are all made by a chef and truly an experience. Check out the wine list is they explained the different regions of the world. read more

We went to Le Saint-Amour on a very rainy night on the strong recommendation of friends. The food was good but the portions were really skimpy, even compared to New York. The waiter poured the wine without allowing a taste. And he treated us with the disdain you would expect in a place in Paris. It was not until we mentioned we were living on a boat that the waiter began to treat us like welcome customers. We liked the food and the dinning room decor, but not the attitude. read more

This place lived up to the hype! I was researching for one of the best restaurants to have our one year wedding anniversary dinner during our quick stay in Quebec City, and this place was highly recommended. I didn't have time to make a reservation prior to our trip, but was fortunate enough to get some help from our hotel and was able to book a spot for an early dinner on the day of our arrival. When my husband and I arrived at the restaurant , they told us that we have plenty of time to enjoy our dinner since they didn't have another reservation for our table until 3 hrs later. We weren't really worried about time as we didn't plan on getting their gastronomy menu, but still glad that they gave us ample time to enjoy our food without feeling rushed. In the end, we ended up spending about 2 to 2.5hrs which we thought was just enough. I ordered the inspiration menu while my husband ordered a'la carte. Everything tasted fantastic. I was initially unsure if I would like the vegetable soup but it was delicious. I got duck for the entree, which tasted great (although I should say that this was my first time eating duck meat so my standards weren't pretty high to begin with :)). The portion size was just right for a 4-course meal, and their flavor profile was on point - nothing too salty and the flavors were well- balanced. My husband ordered lobster for his entrée and they gave him a generous amount for the price. Aside from the amazing food, what I loved about this place are the beautiful ambiance and excellent service. We were seated at a glassed-ceiling atrium on a rainy afternoon. The servers are super attentive and efficient without hovering too much. Don't expect a fast service and to be out of the place in less than an hour...just enjoy the fine dining experience and know that they want you to take your time and appreciate everything served in front of you! read more

We came to Le Saint-Amour by accident, after scurrying around Old Montreal late in the evening, in search of food. We were so hungry, we just stepped inside and asked for a table, not realizing that we were devastatingly under-dressed for the occasion. The crowd was elegant, older, and it felt very NOT touristy. In fact, you could tell who the tourists were (and they were us). The meal was perhaps the best we had in Canada during that trip. Simply amazing. read more

Venturing down into the walled-off old city of Quebec is always a treat, and there are so many great places to eat. It feels to me like what it would have felt like to walk around Paris hundreds of years ago.... except without all the poverty and wars happening. Anyway, Le Saint Amour is a restaurant trying to figure out if they want to serve traditional french cuisine, or new-style Gourmand French cuisine. I was super impressed of my first course, Foie Gras 7 Ways (see the photos). I order foie gras a lot, and this was truly unique. Foie Gras macaroons, foie gras with blueberry dust, foie gras pyramids, etc. I really enjoyed it, and it set the tone for what I thought would be an amazing meal. My server suggested a pairing with a Cabernet Ice Wine, which was really really a good pairing. Unfortunately, the sweet bread course and the deer course followed the traditional french mechanism of "take a great piece of meat and coat it with some sort of reduction sauce, then surround it with a vegetable and some mushrooms". The deer meat was truly delectable, but compared to the imagination that went into the foie gras dish these two courses were just downright boring. Dessert was better, seared pineapple tataki, on top of an almond crust, on top of coconut ice cream and drizzled with spiced caramel sauce. Yum! So you could say that I had a good meal bookended by amazing appetizer and dessert. Not enough to get 5 courses in my opinion, but maybe they're about to break out of their shell and start doing some really crazy stuff! read more

What can I add that has not been already written? Well, our dinner here was exceptional above and beyond previous comments because: We came in as a party of 3 (including a 7 year old) with no reservation at 5:40 on a Thursday night (Bastille Day no less). The staff not only found us a table by the bar, they then moved tables around in the main dining room (a big job for several people) so we could sit in a fantastic spot right in the middle of the action! They created an entree for our picky 7 year old (Salmon on Pasta) that she loved, and made special fruit cocktails for her. We went with the price fix menu (the fancier one) and although I usually pick the wines myself I talked to the sommelier (who was also our waiter) and we decided to take a glass by glass matched approach to the courses. Great choice, as the pairings were excellent! After most courses were complete, the waiter gave us complimentary glasses of an Icewine (our second of the meal!) that was top shelf and a sublime conclusion to the meal. The wine list (book) is not the largest I have ever seen (Burn's Steak House is the only bigger in my experience) but is beautifully prepared with detail maps of all regions, bottle labels and a very thoughtful selection. Heavy on France, but still enough from other areas to amuse you. The bill was breathtaking, but for the 4 hours of heaven well worth it. If you have a special occasion to celebrate, this is a great place to go. read more

My husband and I dined here to celebrate our second wedding anniversary, and Le Saint-Amour did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in and were greeted, we were wished congratulations. The food and wine, as well as the service, was impeccable. We shared the seared foie gras, Arctic char, Quebec crustaceans, filet mignon, and the "audacious" dessert. Our waiter recommended the perfect Pinot noir to accompany our varied meal. This was our best meal in Quebec, and more than made up for a negative dining experience elsewhere the night before. read more

Beautiful, Romantic Restaurant My top choice for fine dining in old Quebec City. This restaurant is stunning on the inside. Amazing wine list. Excellent french food. Everything from the service, the ambiance, the food - Saint-Amour is a leading example of how dining should be. We started with a complimentary mushroom mousse shot, and ordered the trout for a starter. For mains, we enjoyed the arctic char with scallops and the pork. Everything was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner with your significant other. We cannot wait to return for another amazing French meal on our next trip to Quebec City. read more

Very nice environment and friendly / attentive staff. The food was a bit "complicated" for me - what you would see maybe on chefs plate (fancy). Serving was just the right amount. I don't recommend this for kids just because of the type of food served. read more

Le Saint-Amour - Covered outdoor area - French Near Me - Old Quebec, Quebec

Fine dining spot did not disappoint: excellent meal from start to finish with artistic plating. 4.5 stars. Food: 4.5, service: 5, atmosphere: 4.5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (starters ~$25, entrees ~$40-50 Canadian) Return worthiness: maybe Eve award: best foie gras appetizer Highlights: - Foie gras 5 ways: amazing innovative plate with variety sprawled on a round chalkboard-like platter. 5 stars. From favorite to least: 1. Prosciutto wrapped terrine triangle with layers of mushrooms within. One of the most amazing foie preparations I've seen. The prosciutto added salt and the mushrooms earthy sweetness. 2. Pate: so smooth, rich, and mild like you want it to be. 3. Macaron: fruity on the outside and whipped delicate mousse on the inside. 4. Ball: like the pate but rolled up into a ball and done beet influence. The little sliced beet tower had a slightly sweet marinade and was fantastic as well. 5. Creme brûlée: looked and sounded awesome but did not care for the flavor. - Lobster bisque: thick dark colored soup that used more pureed lobster than cream for a change. Topped with a crunchy fried shrimp cake and hollandaise sauce if the soup itself wasn't decadent enough. 4 stars - Scallops and pork belly: abundance of scallops on top of a slab of well cooked, smiley tasty, but not too fatty pork belly. Several vegetables included on the plate to balance things out. 5 stars. - Blueberry eclair: friends loved this stacked dessert with the cream and the blueberries. The berries themselves were naturally sweet and the sorbet was packed full of the flavor of the fruit. - Chocolate dessert: rolls of different types of chocolate (dark or milk) as well as a mini chocolate covered ice cream stick. Only thing friends didn't enjoy was the white chocolate drink as it didn't have much flavor. - Wine list: love how it was divided by region with an accompanying map. Waiter took our requirement of price point and varietal type and picked us a nice bottle. - Service: wonderfully attentive staff members across jobs - Mushroom appetizer: platter full of a variety of mushrooms for one who enjoys this vegetable. Midlights: - Duck with gnocchi: nice flavor but friend found the duck slices too sinewy and hard to cut and not enough gnocchi. Lowlights: - Didn't have room for a cheese platter. Was sad about that as I'd love to have tried more Québec cheese. Dinner winner of our trip. Not as fancy as we thought so was relaxing and delicious. read more

Quite possibly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. We elected for the prix fixe menu of 6 courses,which included the foie gras and decided to "splurge"and get 1/2 liter of wine- which was a perfect accompaniment, as the wine definitely adds to the meal but you don't feel the need to over indulge with alcohol at the expense of the food.. I am not usually a fan of foie gras, but this was fantastic with a subtle, but rich texture and taste. Followed by the soup, sorbet, then duckling breast with bits of dark meat in cabbage, with a sliced, grilled sweet potato and a delicious dark sauce taht was deliciously seasoned. No complaints here!And ,overall, an incredible culinary experience. And then dessert came. Perfect! The entire ambience and non-obtrusive but attentive staff made it all the better. While neither our pocketbook, liver, or cholesterol level could stand frequent repetitive visits, for a special and memorable experience this should rate up there highly for most. read more

Oh of those mind boggling experiences. I don't say this lightly since I'm a bit of a critical SOB, but this was one of the three best dining experiences of my life. From the elk carpaccio to sweetbreads...Each dish was a virtual tasting menu onto its own (e.g. the elk carpaccio had a quail egg and a few other mini samplings). Combined with a knowledgeable sommelier (with a good sense of humor..) and a very cheery atmosphere (windows from the ceiling)...a truly wonderful evening. A price product match... read more

Excellent food, crappy business model. We once had a great, great meal and so went back and were subjected to a 3-hour time lapse dinner with 30-40 minute waits between each course -- with no apology. WARNING: If you go, ask if there is a large party scheduled to dine there that evening. If so, cancel your reservation and go to one of your other choices. read more

We're still at the restaurant. Ordered the Inspiration menu. And we are truly INSPIRED. The food is sublime. Very imaginative. And they put up with my partner's funny quips for every course.

Five stars. I must apologize for the limit, as five was the maximum number. This is so much more than a restaurant, they serve so much for that food, and the cuisine they serve is so much more than food. When our friends told us that they booked a meal for October in May, I, though "How busy can they be?" As it turns out, Very, very busy. They are open, so far as I know, for dinner only, with two seatings. We had reservations for the early seating, and as our quaint hotel was just a block away, had a pleasant stroll in the early evening. The menu has changed since our visit, yet I will never forget the overall dining experience. I have heard that Quebec City offers the ambiance and culinary delights of Europe. However, I much prefer the cuisine at Le Saint Amour to any restaurants we have yet experienced anywhere in the world. The service was, without exaggeration, exquisite. Never did we have to wait to have a glass refilled. Or a dish removed. Or a new bottle of sparkling water or wine brought (did I mention the food was out of his world). At nearly 60 years of age, this restaurant remains my favorite (so far) of any I have dined. For our party of four, with two bottles of good wine, amazing food, brilliant service, fantastic atmosphere, the bill was on par with what we received. However, as this is a review, readers will want to know the cost, and so I will list that it was under $1000 for all four of us. The experience, however, was priceless. Everyone who truly appreciates the pinnacle of fine cuisine should come here at least once. I for one am looking forward to returning to the Old City, and Le Saint Amour. read more

If you are looking for trendy, modern, hip and cheap, don't make reservations here. If you can't afford to eat here don't make reservations otherwise you are just going to complain about everything and write a stupid review stating that this place is a dated, elitest restaurant that's not worth it. Okay, I averted all the cheapskates from eating here and making a fool of themselves. Now let's talk about the service: very attentive and pleasant servers, waiters are helpful and delightful. The food: wife started with the Foie Gras 5 ways, what an amazing display! Each of the pieces on the plate were distinct and delectable, then came the spring salad. It was such a beautiful presentation of a salad and amazing also. My wife's main was the filet mignon with a blueberry risotto. Cooked perfectly and was moist. I ordered the Inspiration Menu which started with an amazing pea soup with a balsamic reduction. Then I was brought the steak carpaccio with blue potato chips. The flavor of the carpaccio was so delicate. I chose the veal for my main and was recommended to pair it with foie gras which I asked for it seared. OMG!!! The combination of the veal, foie gras and the sauce was simply divine! The veal was accompanied by a sauted quinoa and was very good also. For dessert my wife ordered the blueberry creme brûlée with a raspberry marshmallow and a blueberry muffin the brûlée came in a flambé style in order to melt the marshmallow. My pre fixe meal came with dessert both were outstanding! The decor is iconic 1920's French style and was quite elegant in my opinion. So, again, if you are willing to drop some major coin on dinner and you are used to doing so, then do it! But if you are not used to spending your rent money on dinner, then eat at a $$ place! read more

My husband and I were on our (short) honeymoon, and we had to celebrate with at least one truly decadent and spectacular meal. After doing my Yelp research (and a few other sources), and taking a look at the various menus, I knew that Le Saint-Amour was IT. And boy was I right! We arrived a little early for our reservation, but they were happy to seat us since the dining room wasn't full. Thankfully, we were seated in their gorgeous, central dining area that is like a hidden garden. Let me start by saying that the service is exquisite, from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. We hadn't tried any regional wines yet, so we asked which bottles they would recommend and chose a delicious, vibrant wine that paired very well with the meal. We were celebrating, and the Inspiration Tasting Menu just screamed "deliciously decadent" so that's what we ordered. Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive, and immediately asked if either of us had food allergies (which I do, so they modified one plate to accommodate me). Every single bite on that menu was scrumptious, and my taste buds kept wanting more as my waistline expanded. The foie gras plate will open your eyes to what really amazing chefs can do with foie gras. I don't think there was any single dish that stood out, they were all perfect in preparation, flavors (individually and even better together), and presentation on each plate. The unveiling of the soup from beneath the silver dome was particularly wonderful. This is THE romantic, special occasion restaurant in Quebec, IMHO. You will not regret going here - you may regret only having the chance to go once, though, like me! read more

Hmm, can you give a place 6 stars? This place fits into the 'all time best meals of my life' category. Every dish was a flavour explosion and complete wonder. The foie gras brought us here. We had the assorted plate of 7 different preparations. I don't remember all the specifics, but they were all total food experiences in themselves. It took 37 minutes (thanks to time-lapsed photography) to finish this dish. I haven't timed how long it took me to finish a dish before (I usually literally inhale my food I eat so fast - its quite disturbing) but every bite seemed to merit so much appreciation and reflection, it was necessary. AMAZING. worth the price of admission alone. This was all paired with a great red wine. We asked for a recommendation of something that was unique, not too bold, not crazy expensive (50-60ish), and with a nice finish. The waiter 'had an idea'. The unique part was satisfied by the following characterization: a french winery, grown in California, using an italian grape. worked for us. The wine was just as we had asked. A subtle taste of fruit, a tinge of spice, and very smooth finish without a hint of extra edge at the end. Now the main. I ordered the red deer. Cooked to a medium-rare perfection, to be expected. The au jus was one of the best sauces i've ever had accompany a meat. ever. that good. somehow they worked blueberries and beets into it. Finally came dessert. A creme brule with a few twists. A serious flambe presentation (it was on fire for about 1 minute at the table) with marsh-mellows on the side for toasting! The waiter explained the dish's other unique trait. it somehow had a special kind of local mushroom in it! sounds crazy and i forget the mushrooms exact function in the dish (the mushroom taste wasn't really discernable) but it was super tasty! This was a truly special experience. Not cheap. $300 after all was said and done. But if you're going to get out to QC for a weekend, pamper yourself with this place. Eat baked beans next week (or the next 6). then its a wash! And make reservations.. read more

If you're looking for a fine dining experience in Quebec City, you can't go wrong with Le Saint-Amour. The elegant French restaurant is situated two blocks east of the Quebec parliament, on a quiet residential street. They have two large dining rooms; the one I was seated in was a converted greenhouse, with skylights, hanging plants, and silver-framed mirrors. They had two price-fixed menus and I opted for the less expensive "Inspiration" menu ($70/person). I started with a delicious fois gras appetizer, which was served with local berries. The subsequent course was vegetable cream soup served with fresh and crunchy baguette. The tasting menu came with beef tartare. I hesitate to eat raw beef, but this dish was spectacular, served with local mushrooms marinated in vinaigrette. The size of the beef was about the same as a hamburger patty, but I recommend trying it at least once. The main course was duck breast, which was sliced thin and simply phenomenal. I personally love duck - it's lean like chicken but moist and flavorful like beef, and the duck at Le Saint-Amour is prepared flawlessly. I had the chef's pastry (a chocolate cake with mascarpone) for dessert - also delicious. Don't miss the wine list; I opted for a local red wine which was really tasty. Overall, Le Saint-Amour is a terrific place to splurge. read more

Apparently, Montreal and Quebec City have a restaurant "war" over bragging rights for best places to eat. Montreal probably has more than Quebec, but this place is as good as any of the top restaurants in Montreal. I loved the amuse bouche and attention to detail and service. The wine list was outstanding (not that I could deconstruct it) and the menu is an innovative take on traditional fare without being too heavy as more French food can be. From outstanding deer to chocolate soup at the end, I would go back there in a heartbeat. Of note: the soups we had (Jerusalem Artichoke for one and Parsley for another) were unmatched by soups I've had in my life; their smooth texture and intense but not overwhelming flavors left us so happy. We'll return here for sure, so long as our budget can handle it! read more

Superb cooking. Most of the restaurants I eat at in Los Angeles have opened in the past two years, so it was a little surprising to see on the menu that Le St. Amour opened in 1978... It's nearly as old as me. The food and service were fantastic. We initially thought we'd order the tasting menu, but the full menu proffered so many delectable ideas that we couldn't resist ordering a bunch of dishes of our own choosing even though we knew we risked over indulging in a lot of food. Warning: the portions are ample. You will get full. Every bite is exquisite but the chef is not a tease. He'll unleash the gourmand or glutton in you. Two amuse bouche came out before we began our dinner. The first was a marinated salmon and the second a partially seared, smoked tuna. The menu encourages you to order the houses specialty of foie gras on page one with a choice of three different preparations. Our endearing waiter suggested the one with a maple sauce and candied nuts which was OMG. We each chose our own soup with Erin choosing the Lobster bisque and I chose the butternut squash soup which I did not know included escargot. I almost never eat escargot so I was surprised when my taste buds told me the animal is primarily a carrier for butter and whatever other flavors the chef imbues. I think I finally get the dish. We then shared Fundy Bay salmon prepared four ways in a beautiful towered presentation: a cap do smoked salmon topped a squat cylinder of salmon tartare plated ontop of a fan of salmon carpaccio accented with marinated salmon. Erin ordered a rack of Alberta lamb and I ordered red deer, eating deer for the second time in 72 hours as well as my life. The deer was served wit a berry sauce, a red berry "cup cake" like muffin ad cabbage. It was delicious and I felt like a hunter eating my kill though any true hunter I imagine to be laughing at me right now comparing this well prepared dish to the rustic romanticized view of hunter, game, and meal. We were much too full for dessert because the portions are so generous. Our waiter made me think of Québécois and humanity in a new way as he expressed his joy for winter (and ice fishing). He feels exactly the same way about winter as I feel about summer. read more

We wanted to celebrate our anniversary with a memorable meal and we were not disappointed by Le Saint-Amour. We chose the discovery menu with wine pairings. It was not inexpensive but we thought the meal was exquisite and well worth what we paid. We had eight courses and each one was delightful. My previous experience with foie gras was terrible so I was leery. Chef Boulay created three beautiful and delicious servings. The ice wine pairings with this course were perfect. Every course exited our palates. We both agreed that this was one of the best meals of our lives. read more

My wife and I ate here on the final night of our 7 day visit to Quebec City for our Golden Wedding Anniversary. During our week long stay we ate at many fine dining restaurants, Restaurant Le Saint Amour was by far the best!!
