Amazing experience and totally worth going if you are in town, definitely ask for the garden / terrace area and try to get a reservation ~5:30pm right when they open so you have some privacy before it gets busy. The staff was very friendly and gave us a great dinner that will be remembered. I will definitely be coming back.

The tasting menu was versatile, creative and a fantastic experience. The setting in the inside garden was beautiful too. Only downside was that we had informed them that it was a special occasion as we were celebrating my partner’s birthday and yet nothing special was done. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our experience.

Food was wonderful. However, 2 stars because of the rude waiter, tall dark hair, who served the front area of the restaurant (not the garden patio area in the back) today. Like some other reviews, this guy tried to upsell and when 4 of us ordered only 2 appetizers (2 of us had late lunch and didnt care for appies), he gave us a dirty look. So I ordered 3 appetizers, and he grinned. After finishing appetizers, we waited about 30 min for 4 entree dishes to come. A glass of wine that my sister ordered was so little that it just looked like a tasting size. After we finished the meal, the waiter asked if we want dessert. We didn't have room for desserts, and so just asked for the bill. The waiter comes back with a dirty look again and handed me the credit card machine with 20% TIPS ALREADY PUNCHED IN BY HIM. Total came out to be about $450. I didn't bother changing it or mentioning anything about it cause it wasnt even worth my time. What a pathetic rude guy. He shouldn't be working in a restaurant like this - does the retaurant owner even know what this guy is doing to customers?

We love our last-minute & on-whim trip to Quebec City, everything was booked within days to our arrival on Friday. The only available reservation for US labor day weekend reservation was Friday at 9 pm and was late for our usual dining time. We glad that we took it anyway and it was a great decision. The food was delicious even when we were not hungry from a big lunch and could have just skipped dinner that day. We wished we had the stomach for the 7-course discovery meal. They had the summer menu and we shared Foie Gras Experience, the Quebec Lamb Rack, and Bison Sirloin among 3 of us. We got a complementary scallop sauce from the restaurant which was amazingly delicious. All of the food were delicious and if I must rank, the lamb would be the best dish. For dessert, we had the Maple Mousse. I am not a fan of mousse, but this dessert was excellent, it was not overwhelmingly sweet. The sweetness was on-point for me to taste the flavor or maple and chocolate. We would have been back for another dinner within the trip if there were not fully booked for the rest of our visit.There were no specific dress code for the restaurant, we didn't pack any business casual or dress shoes. We didn't dress up like a bump, but surely not above and beyond either. Some guests were wearing jacket, dress, and even shorts. I saw a couple with shorts and sandals.

We enjoyed a 7 course dinner at Le Saint-Amour! You must know ahead of time that having a 7 course meal means you are going to be sitting and eating for a long time! The preparation and presentation of each dish was gorgeous! You need to be prepared for very rich food and have an appreciation for French cuisine!

Absolutely beautiful venue that makes you feel like you’re dining in a luxurious garden in Paris. The food is also amazing, a delicious blend of local ingredients. We took the 7 course meal but it was a bit too much since some of the portions were actually big (considering all the courses). I would recommend to order a la carte unless you’re really hungry.

Foie Gras hot appetizer: it tastes really bad. The taste and presentation of the entire dish are simply not harmonious. Foie gras itself taste and smell slightly bloody, even the citrus taste from berries can not overcome it.Halibut with Leek: the aroma of leek is quite appetizing, however the sauce is salty which take away the freshness of the halibut. It’s sad because halibut is cooked perfectly.Palate Cleanser: I would say it’s better just serve high quality tea. Cuz there’s a herbal taste from this sherbet is very strong.Duck Breast and Duck Heart: this is the MVP of the menu. Crispy skin with tender meat is very satisfying. Garnish matches perfectly with protein duck heart!Desert: taste is very good, I love the sweetness with the sourness from the blueberries. Nuts are highlight. However, it’s difficult to eat with cutlery. I had to handheld.

Love the food and the service. We were worried that we didn’t bring any fancy clothes with us on our short trip to QC plus with a young toddler they won’t serve us. I called and they said they have no dress code. The staff are all nice and friendly, feels like a family restaurant vibe. The food from the presentation to the taste are superb.This is a place where you would want to come back whenever you feel to spurge for a special occasion. The dinning time is long but it was good that we didn’t feel rushed and we took the time to enjoy the meal and really taste the favor profile.One minor criticism is that when we first arrived they put us in a separate room. So two occasions our request has been forgotten and we have to remind them about the order. They don’t have assigned servers but multiple people come to serve you at random so maybe there’s some communication gaps. For a fine dining restaurant that might be something they want to look into.

Six stars if we could. Beautiful ambience paired with gourmet, well thought out cuisine. They made something special for my vegetarian wife that left a smile on her face. Wine list was fantastic as well along with very friendly and intuitive wait staff. Please don’t skip desert! This place has a very special place in our hearts.

When the restaurant comes with recommendations and you come with great expectations it’s a little disappointing when things are just not tip top.Timing of food vs wine vs cutlery were off meaning the food was being served while either the wine, the cutlery or both were not there.The pacing of the courses was off and we had to wait fairly long in between courses.The menu is very traditional and delicious.The wine pairing was good too and when I personally did not like one wine they kindly replaced it with an other wine.The 7 course discovery menu is more like a 5 course dinnerThey counted the amuse (micro size bite) as a course and the pallet cleanser (no picture) too. And honestly with those included I only get to 6 courses. They also only served 5 glasses of wine pairing.The back dining room is spectacular
