LE CONTINENTAL - Cuisine Française - Fruits de Mer / Homard / Steak - Flambé in Québec City

Absolutely wonderful. Our waiter, Alberto, is a pro. Everything was prepared perfectly from the Gaspe crab, to the tableside Caesar salad to the Dover sole. Champagne by the glass was so good we ordered a bottle. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner unforgettable.

Warm and courteous welcome. Parking: Very fast.

Amazing food, service, ambience! We will be back our next trip to Quebec City!

Family trip to Quebec before Christmas. Le Continental was magical experience. Service was spot on and made the excellent food even better. This is a place you cannot miss when traveling to Quebec. Duckling for two was prepared as well as any meal I have ever experienced

High end. If you are out for a very fine dining experience this is the place.

Another excellent evening at the Continental. The spectacle of the dishes prepared at the table, especially the flambés, is always the highlight of the evening. We go back twice a year. Two small downsides this time. One table was having a drunken evening and the people at the table were shouting very loudly. The head waiter could have asked them to tone it down a little. At the end of the meal, my daughter-in-law who had ordered a steak could not finish it (large portion) and she asked if she could take the rest home. I know its not the kind of restaurant that has this request often, but the waiter made fun of her a little saying that CIVID was over and the restaurant no longer does take out. He still agreed to her request. This somewhat spoiled an evening which was still very expensive. Thanks to all the other staff who were up to the task.

This restaurant was an incredible experience!! They planned for every detail, the food was magnificent, and the atmosphere was very festive. Our waiter (David Ouellet) was excellent. He was very attentive, funny, and an excellent communicator. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely plan a return trip!!

Parfait

Old world charm and service. Outstanding food perfectly prepared. My best birthday yet! Food

We have had many wonderful meals in beautiful Quebec City over the past week, but last night s meal at Le Continental was as close to perfection as it gets. From the warm and inviting elegant ambience to the attentive and professional staff, it could not be better. The food was fabulous. We had the chateaubriand for 2 and the steak was cooked at our table. The accompanying dauphinois potatoes , spinach, asparagus and carrots were superb. My husband started with oysters and I had the turnip soup (delicious). Dessert was sorbet and also the maple and pecan cake. The food was beautifully prepared, hot, and truly the best meal we have had in a long time. I felt the prices were very fair. All in all, a wonderful evening. Thank you to all who served us. Special thanks to the chef and to two of our servers, Hugo and Mathieu.

Andre was fantastic! This place is outstanding! Absolutely perfect! Food : 5/5

Delicious and generous cuisine and attentive and very professional service. Well done ! Special mention to the flambé tea!

Food

Absolutely amazing experience and fantastic food!!

Wanted to go to Le Continental for a long time. And what a great experience it was! Food was fantastic! We had beef carpaccio and the fromage fondue for appetizers. Then the filet mignon en boîte and the peppercorn sirloin flambé. Crème brûlée was for desert followed by Cognac. Outstanding and friendly service from coming through the door to the end. It was simply like the restaurants in France that I remember from my childhood when we lived in Europe. To the Maître D and your team - bon travail, merçi

I enjoyed a flambéed peppercorn steak at our table while my wife had veal medallions. Both were excellent. The steak was cooked as I requested. The wine sauce was particularly good. The side dish of asparagus, roasted potatoes and chopped carrots was also super. For dessert we had a delicious baked Alaska, also flambéed at out table. The atmosphere is super. The waiters are dressed in white dinner jackets which adds to the class of the restaurant. The service was very good and pleasant. The host came to our table to check the quality of our food and to chat with us. Its a very special experience to eat there.

Perfect for celebrating our parents 60th wedding anniversary. Spectacular pedestal kitchen. Succulent dishes. Cooking to perfection. Excellent service. Maybe a little expensive but it was worth it...

Food was great and service wonderful!

Such a wonderful evening! Everything about Le Continental is top notch. It is a throwback to times when dinner was refined and an experience. Appetizers of jumbo shrimp cocktail and escargot. Filet mignon prepared table side. Dover sole muniere. Finishing with flambéed crepe Suzettes. A marvelous, memorable meal!

Great service and atmosphere. We all ordered beef. For the price, the meat was tough and not up to standard. Other steak houses are much better.

The food was outstanding. The service was fantastic. We had Remmy as a server and he was wonderful. The table side preparation of the filet mignon was fun to watch. Escargot was very good.

Escargots wasn t very good, taste water Atmosphere, no music, expedited service Filet mignon was very good Good services, wine too expensive. Bottle at $150, real value $43 Will not going back there.

Very happy to have been there, it was delicious and we had a lovely evening. However, it is very noisy and crowded. It ruins the atmosphere - three times there were even plates dropped near our table, which... is a bit surprising. I would have expected a more relaxing evening.

Outstanding!

The food was amazing as was rhe waiter!

A restaurant worth the time to stop by. The cozy atmosphere as well as the classic, well-made dishes always have a WoW effect! A must, in my opinion!

I am still dreaming about the steak I enjoyed here. We celebrated our 19th anniversary at this restaurant and our experience was exceptional. We spent 2 hours here, ordered a bottle of champagne and enjoyed our meals, we were always engaged with our waiter in chit chat , checked on, and served well. All members of staff we spoke with were friendly and we felt welcomed .

Delicious food - sized as one would expect for a fine-dining establishment. Definitely a nice restaurant with an awesome food preparation style.

I made a reservation through Open Table and it cost about $240 for two people, including chateaubriand, Caesar salad dessert, and house wine. All salads and steaks are cooked right next to the table. Caesar Salad: Crush garlic in a large wooden bowl, make a basic sauce with olive oil, balsamic, etc., then add vegetables, bacon, cheese, etc. The spicy scent of garlic and the tartness of balsamic are stronger than other places, so there may be some likes and dislikes. Chateaubriand can be ordered for 2 people or more, but each person is grilled at a different rate. My meat-loving younger brother, who went with us, said it was the most delicious steak he had ever eaten in his life. To me, it had a meaty smell that was unique to tenderloin, so it didnt suit my taste. There was a lot of meat. There are many types of house wine and the quantity is quite large. Dessert is okay. Sorbet has a bit of artificial flavor.

Attentive service, friendly staff, excellent classic dishes, affordable wine selection, discreet and refined accompanying music

The premier dining experience in Quebec City. Gorgeous restaurant with classic decor. The service staff in white tuxedos is highly attentive without being intrusive and cook many of the dishes at table side. The food was superb and the wine pairings were perfect. Highly recommend.

I think it is overrated. Before accommodating, I asked if they have cheese fondue in the menu and they said yes. That was the only thing I wanted for dinner and the only reason I sat in this restaurant. Unfortunately they forgot to say that it was a fried fondue. Very bad service. Atmosphere and forniture not great at all, pretty coarse, and food nothing special.

Wonderful visit. Butch took great care of us.

Wonderful atmosphere that is perfect for a special occasion! We came here for a birthday and loved everything we had. Alain was our server and he was phenomenal!

Make sure you re dressed to impress, otherwise the entire staff will be there at the reception prepared to not let you in! Apparently a (nice)hat is not allowed in the restaurant, but a sweatshirt worn by another customer is fine. I ll make sure to not recommend your restaurant to anyone that I know because I don t think I would like people to feel judged in a place where you re supposed to have a great experience . Rude, Judgemental and disrespectful staff. Edit( Answer to the restaurant) It is a sign of respect when entering private spaces to remove your hat It is 2022, are you really trying to adapt to different social costumes and the way people are dressing nowadays? I do not think so. I can not take or understand your respect as the restaurant was extremely rude and made me feel very uncomfortable in front of my family, other clients and your staff. Also, in any moment I was asked if I wanted to take my hat off, I was told to do, forced to do that. Is it normal, respectful? No. Edit( Updated in 2024) Seems like they are still doing the same thing to their customers 2 years after my incident. I guess they don t really care about feedback. Cringe.

This is a lovely restaurant, classic and elegant but not stuffy. The Matured was charming. Our server Nicholas let me taste two wines before choosing. We had the Caesar salad for 2 prepared at the table It was delicious. We had 2 of the specials Rack of Lamb and Beef Wellington. Delicious and generous portions.

As always, everything is perfect

Affable and helpful staff. Impressive wine list and prices to match. The crab Hollandaise sauce as a starter is disappointing. No flavor. On the other hand, the piece of meat served was cooked to perfection and delicious. For dessert, the crepes Suzette are a must.

Overall dinner experience was outstanding from the moment we arrived. Food was exceptional and the service from Michel was nothing short of stupendous. Michel was knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating and very personable making our dinner even more special. Thank you to all that made our night memorable. Silvana and Jeff.

Outstanding service and the food was excellent - all in a classic French restaurant atmosphere.

Beautiful evening to celebrate the birthday of our magnificent artist Christian Bergeron High quality food and stylish, impeccable service A great classic to revisit again and again! The Caesar salad is a marvel made at your table, the pan-fried foie gras, the famous canned filet mignon cooked to perfection, and what can we say about the maple pancakes to finish!!!

Amazing experience and we had a great time!

Excellent ambiance and very good service, but the food was quite disappointing. Very expensive.

This restaurant offers classics of French cuisine, executed with remarkable expertise. Cooking at the tables adds a lot to the experience. The Continental offers a unique experience in Quebec. I highly recommend it.

Amazing old world, elegant dinner! Fabulous food and service!! Would absolutely come back if traveling to Quebec City again. Food : 5/5

Superb experience at the Continental, cuisine and service that met our expectations. Good wine and an exquisite dessert!!!!! A restaurant worth the detour in Quebec City. Parking: Free valet parking in front of the restaurant.

One of my favorite places, delicious food, wonderful environment and attention. It was my second time celebrating my anniversary there and we absolutely loved it!

Bad. The waiter made little effort to explain the dish to us. I ordered fillet medallions and when they arrived, they looked like chicken fillet steaks. White meat with no flavor.

Amazing experience- service and good are top notch.

We had a fabulous dinner in Quebec City, best of our trip. Service and food were top Notch. We all three enjoyed are meals. The cherries jubilee is divine. A must visit when you are here. Highly recommended.

I picked this place because it had Dover Sole on its menu, I had no idea of the experience we were about have I loved it! We were in QC for the night and I called around 3:30 for an 8 pm reservation. I loved the atmosphere, exactly what you would expect for an old school vibe. Table side service is rare nowadays and it brought back fond memories. All the staff were men, following old school hierarchy roles. Very efficient and well coordinated. Our main server Andreas from Milan was charming and he knew it, lol. Well played sir, well played. The bread course was nice. The Caesar salad was nice and tangy, well balanced. My Dover Sole was beautiful. My partners Filet Mignon was gorgeous. The rice, potatoes, carrots and asparagus were all on point. For dessert the raspberry sorbet was perfect and crème brûlée was divine. After a week of eating at restaurants including Maison Boulud this was my favourite meal. I will be there again next time I visit Quebec City.

This is an amazing restaurant. The service is professional. They were able to assist with wine and cheese recommendations. We had looked forward to our Chateau Briande and it did not disappoint. The plate of veggies were delicious

Definitely not worth the price and given the number of other dinning options I would pass on this one. Our chateaubriand was absolutely flavorless and the pepper corn steak was over cooked. Could have been due to our chef spending too much time chatting with the table next to us and not enough attention to details.

Outstanding meal!

Please order steak!! Their cooking show and service made our trip so happy!!!! A man with rainbow badge! Thank you for perfect steak and dinner^; Kid-friendliness: Kids can enjoy dinner with patents beacause of the show!!

Matthew was a polished and entertaining waiter! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The tableside preparations of our Ceasar salad and Filet Continental were a visual treat!

Only takin any points off because it felt like a venue this good ought to have live piano. Everything was fantastic.

So wonderful to find a restaurant that understands the importance of service, ambience, and food quality!

Extraordinary

By far one of the top dining experiences I ve ever had. Spectacular service. Super attentive and server was also the chef!

A Disgraceful Experience at Le Continental Last night, my husband and I visited Restaurant Le Continental, hoping for a refined dining experience, but we were met with shockingly rude service from the moment we stepped through the door. As the first guests of the evening, just in from the cold, my husband, a true gentleman, hadn t realized he was still wearing his hat. Rather than a warm greeting, the maitre d sharply snapped that he remove it, immediately. Making us feel unwelcome from the start. We were then informed that we d have only 1.5 hours to dine if we wanted a front table. Given that we were the only guests in an empty restaurant, this felt unnecessarily rigid and impersonal. When my husband inquired about bringing a special bottle of wine a common practice at many fine dining establishments he was rudely informed, We do not do that here! We sell our own wine! Such a dismissive attitude was both surprising and disappointing. The tipping point was when I ordered a glass of champagne, which, at $35, was flat and served from an opened bottle. (Since we were the first guests in the restaurant it was obviously from the previous day.) Serving old champagne at that price is unacceptable, and it was obvious our experience was heading downhill. We decided to leave, politely placing $40 under the glass and informing the staff we wouldn t be staying for dinner. As we were exiting, our waiter literally chased us down to demand payment for the flat drink, which was frankly embarrassing for them and reinforced the overall lack of professionalism. Restaurant Le Continental may boast a stellar reputation, but in our experience, it was laughable. It failed to live up to even basic standards of hospitality. This tired establishment has a staff that is out of line and out of step with what fine dining should be. I urge potential diners to reconsider their options this place does not deserve its reputation. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR DIGNITY! Feeling infuriated and undervalued, we found solace at the Frontenac Hotel, where we were treated with the warmth and respect you d expect from a fine establishment.

Outstanding dining experience with entrées flambéed table side.

We have a wonderful dinner. It was a dinner and a show with the table side preparations of the Caesar Salad, Steaks and Baked Alaska. Food was on point. I especially appreciated our server, Bryan. He was professional yet friendly. Others were stuffy. This is not my preference when out. Highly recommend.

Without a doubt, the very best meal and dining experience I have ever had.

The dinner was excellent. We were seated upstairs which lacked a little of the ambiance of the main dining room. All the food was first class. It is a little weird to recommend the Caesar salad as the top recommendation but it was very good. Staff was polite, timely, and provided excellent service. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Quebec.

I just can say it was a so-so experience dining here, but there are a few things I would like to mention: For food: 1. I ordered a side dish of lobster tail. It was extremely salty and didn t seem very fresh. 2. The orange duck was overly sweet. 3. The foie gras was cold when served. I expected it to be a hot dish, wasn t it? The steak was overdone (I ordered medium-well). For service: 1. The waiter kept talking with the guests seated near us while preparing our food. I m not complaining it s part of the service but I felt it wasn t very hygienic to talk over the food. 2. The date I went to the restaurant was my father s birthday. I left a note when booking the table online, and they kindly prepared a candle on the dessert I ordered. Overall, I m quite disappointed with the experience. It wasn t what I expected based on the reviews I read. However, this is just my experience. I wanted to share it for those considering this restaurant in Old Quebec City.

Lovely meal with impeccable service

Dinner and wine selections are outstanding. And who doesnt like dinner cooked a la table! Staff incredibly attentive and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating an important milestone. Parking: We walked from our hotel

We visited Le Continental for a special dinner celebrating our 40th anniversary. We certainly chose the right place. Everything was first class from the moment we walked in the door. Our waiter provided table side service making a Caesar salad as well as cooking our filet mignon and shrimp. Flames were included! The finished product was one of the best meals we have ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Our dinner was fantastic. The restaurant is so charming. The filet prepared table side was a nice touch. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. Many comment how pricey this restaurant is , but it is truly worth it. Dessert was spectacular

Great service, food is tasty, highly recommended

The atmosphere exuded understated elegance. I had the turnip soup which was horrible and should be taken off the menu. I couldn t even finish it. My husband ordered the lobster bisque which was too salty. He, too, didn t finish it. Our waiter was very professional. He prepared my husband s filet of beef at the table. The meat was extremely tender but my husband didn t enjoy the sauce that it was bathed in. It was salty as well. It would be nice if they would offer a choice of 2-3 sauces to choose from. The management was kind enough to make a gluten free pasta dish for me which was not on the menu. It was pretty good although the pasta was dry and there were just 3-4 cherry tomatoes a small dollop of burrata cheese and a small amount of spinach in the light garlic sauce. It was not very imaginative. The best part of the dining experience was the dessert. We ordered the Cherries Jubilee, also prepared tableside. It was delicious. Had it not been for the dessert , the culinary experience would have been a disappointment. Vegetarian options: Other than side items, there is no mention of vegetarian options, but they will prepare a pasta dish. Dietary restrictions: Although it is not stated on the menu, they will prepare something for gluten free vegetarians. They need to step-up their game, however.

An absolute must when visiting Quebec City.

An incredible experience, its worth living there!! In addition to preparing the meals in front of you, the dishes are wonderful and the desserts are very good!!

Couldnt stop placing toward the seat where Monsieur Bourdain sat. Amazing meal.

Wonderful. Seriously one of the best meals Ive ever had and the professionalism of the staff is unparalleled.

Great Food and Service

We discovered this amazing place during a food tour, and it was absolutely fabulous! Well definitely be coming back.

Had a wonderful dinner with excellent service and foods. Order the steak flambé and get to see it the cook show at your table. Would definitely go back.

You will not be disappointed at this Restaurant. Old school Restaurant that is gone on the West Coast. Bring back memories of the 90 s. The way a Restaurant should be run. Thank You for a Great Night. Merci.

Amazing, amazing amazing Service is fast, some of the items on the menu are made at your table. What a wonderful place Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options indeed, potato based and some vegetable sides Parking: No curbside. Kid-friendliness: Friendly indeed, but it is upscale restaurante, mind your toddler!

Excellent choice for a meal. The Caesar salad was outstanding. Meats high quality. Service amazing!

The meal was succulent and the crepes suzettes were delicious. I highly recommend the entrecôte as well as the Caesar salad. Everything is made and cooked in front of you at the table, which adds to the ambiance. Special mention for Brian s excellent service.

Fabulous. A special dining experience. Our waiter Matthew and the entire staff were top notch. The flambé is a must.

October 18, 2024. Ive eaten here every time I have come to Quebec City since 2015. The staff is always highly trained, professional, and effective. This time I had the escargot and filet mignon both dishes were prepared to perfection. Highly recommended.

Very nice experience. Very good food and atmosphere. Thanks to Brian for enhancing our dinner with his expertise.

The steaks were amazing and bursting with flavour - cooked to perfection!

Very pleasant to see the servers flambé our meats in front of us. Cozy atmosphere, nice spacing between tables. Thank you for this beautiful evening!

Lobster bisque was terrible but the rest of the foods were great. The server was very nice and attentive but kept asking if I want wine even though I told him no more than once. The steak was cooked tableside and it was very good. Had creme brulee as well and it was the best.

Great service, food was excellent, a must if visiting Quebec!

A wonderful place and great food

Alberto was a fabulous server

The property service is very perfect, the cuisine is great, the comfort is great, the welcome is great

Lovely restaurant that seems far away from the bustling streets. Our food was delicious we thoroughly enjoyed Le Continental pleased that such classic charm and quality survives.

A magnificent restaurant with amazing service. The staff made our evening a truly elegant experience.

favorite restaurant for years, always excellent Parking: always super nice valet

Every year we are lucky enough to be able to go to this magnificent restaurant for dinner where everything is well orchestrated and delicious.

We celebrated our Anniversary with you and the entire experience was in a word .. WONDERFUL!! service was great, the food preparation was very unique and made the entire meal an absolute treat!! Can t wait to go back!!

My wife and I celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary at Le Continental. It was absolutely perfect: food, atmosphere, and exceptional service! Thank you!

What a delightful experience. Really wanted an authentic french dining experience while visiting Old Quebec for a few days with my sister. Le Continental was all that I hoped for and so much more. Our waiter Denis was attentive but not over bearing or rushed. We had a reservation for 2 at 1700 and felt we got the best seat in house. Our Caesar salad was prepared tableside and the experience was very cool. Denis explained as he blended the dressing, it was definitely not your average salad. We also had escargot which was also amazing, not overly garlicky just right. For my entree I had the shrimp flambe and it was amazing not including the table side show which was also fun. Shrimps were succulant and presented beautifully. My sister had the Sirloin flambe and it was cooked as she ordered to perfection, with a table side show in tandem while Denis cooked my shrimp. And even if you dont usually have dessert youll be amazed at the the cherries jubilee if you love cherries. Just amazing in every aspect of dining. Do yourself a favor and splurge at Le Continental while in Old Quebec, you will only regret it if you dont do it. Thank you, Denis and Le Continental.

We had such a wonderful time at Le Continental tonight! Nicolas, our server, truly made our evening special. He s so knowledgeable, especially with his spot-on wine recommendation from France, and he s just the friendliest person. We felt so well taken care of, and his kindness really stood out. The food was great too those garlic snails were delicious, and the seared foie gras was out of this world. But honestly, it was Nicolas s exceptional service that made our night unforgettable. We ll definitely be back, thanks to the fantastic experience and, of course, Nicolas!

We saw this place on Bourdain s show. It is everything it appeared on TV: old-school decor, very attentive service, and excellent modern renditions of historic dishes. We dressed for dinner, and although not every patron did the same, it was still very special. The martinis were perfectly made (which we ve learned you can t take for granted anymore) and the entrees were just spectacular (filet au poivre and dover sole).

Very expensive, but worth it!

We had the châteaubriand Definitely worth a visit will be back . Food

Delicious food and excellent service!

Superb dining experience; the restaurant has a classic, timeless feel and everything was spectacular. We will be visiting again!

After trying regional dishes - poutine, pouding chaumeur, cheeses, pates, wines, tortieres, pain au chocolate - at other eateries in Quebec City, my husband and I decided to splurge on a visit to the Continental, and we had a truly wonderful experience. We ordered chateaubriand which practically melted in the mouth and which was served with an array of well-prepared veggies. Accompanied by wine and ending with creme brulee and maple pie (the final regional dish on my list), this was a memorable meal. Not to mention the service. The service was personal, multi-faceted, and attentive. The wait staff are truly remarkable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent meal in Quebec City.

A truly amazing experience. Servers Butch and Raphael took care of our every need. The filet mignon and crepes cooked table side were delicious. The only negative was the attempt by the wait staff to sell more alcohol. At one point, the waiter actually came to the table with a bottle of wine and 2 glasses which we declined. He also kept asking my daughter if she wanted another drink even though she said no the first time he asked. I only mention this because I would like Le Continental to know that their attempt at alcohol upsell was not only unnecessary, but was an annoying flaw to an otherwise perfect experience. Parking: There is a paid parking garage for small cars at the nearby Frontenac but larger cars would not be able to negotiate the level turns. Street parking nearly impossible. Best bet is to use a taxi or ride share.

Excellent food, exceptional service, cozy atmosphere. As usual, a perfect score!

Outstanding

Good service and great food. We had the orange duck and it was tender and flavourful It is a great experience. Highly recommended. Food

Love this restaurant and the dining experience. Steaks are amazing!

Great atmosphere, food is fabulous, staff fantastic

With Andrea we had a wonderful evening: with Andrea who cooked our filet mignon steak, to perfection and the Caesar salad was the best we have had in at least 5 years. You have to understand that he is really proud! With Andréa, I put the pride star I recommend Cosmus wine, an elixir of pleasure! Andréa will be happy to serve it to you! Andrea is creating a new tea for me. I would really like to give 6 stars

An awesome experience in fine dining!! Did not think places like this still existed. Our waiter was a true artist in food preparation.

Wonderful experience. The food and wine were amazing, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Especially Andrea who convinced us to try his signature black tea flambe for dessert, which was SO good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I am really sorry to say that this restaurant is very discriminating (especially the man who receives guests at the front desk) and treats them according to the classes. Some food is really old (smells rotten). Try it once and you know the truth. Rate: 0/10 Im really sorry to say that this restaurant is very demanding (especially the man who receives you at the reception) and treats customers according to classes!!! Some foods are really old!!! Try it once and you will know the truth. I was really shocked by their behavior in this modern era. Rating: 0/10

A great evening! Everything was so AWESOME!!!! Food : 5/5

Oyster red

Magnificent experience! Old world charm, hospitality and impeccable service! This is a must do if you are looking for a truly traditional gourmet Fremch meal. All the items with table side flambe did not only taste great but the show the waters put in is impressive and a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Truly a great experience from the outstanding food (and unique tableside flambe dishes) to excellent service (Guy was amazing) and a beautiful old world ambience. Highly recommended.

Fine dining at its best. Excellent service. Food was to die for. Highly recommend it. Advance reservations strongly recommended.

Amazing

I wish my guests didnt have the prices on their menus. The pan-fried foie gras was not very spicy and the sweetbreads where the morels were. That said, excellent evening, I will come back, thank you

I have dined here since 1956 and have always enjoyed delicious food, an outstanding wine list and exemplary service and hospitality. If you come to Quebec City , a meal here is a must , Food

Excellent quality, service, and experience!

Excellent restaurant, exquisite service and delicious food! Extremely impressed with a professional and friendly staff and with a classy and elegant atmosphere that you only rarely find in eating establishments any more! Though a dress code is not required guests should dress appropriately out of respect for this level of service!

Always on point with exceptional service! Dietary restrictions: Perfect adaptation according to allergies to replace certain accompaniments with excellent food substitutes

The flambé dishes are theatre as well a great food.

Everyone should experience it at least once. Worth everyone penny. Most items prepared or finished tableside by waiters in tuxedos.

Food was excellent service even better!

Prices seemed reasonable after your experience. Fantastic dinner with a show really

Excellent all the way around. Superb service, food and wait staff. A must eatery for those that enjoy fine dining. Kevin did a fantastic job waiting on us. Thank you!

Amazing meal for a special occasion. Filet Mignon to die for. Some of the best service Ive ever had.

Great atmosphere and service. Management or owners, take note: there is no way you should be serving bad white bread in plastic pouches at such a place. Should be homemade, fresh, warm. Salmon a bit dry, need to correct thar, and vegetables, though good, should be somewhat larger quantity. In short. Food good, except for horrible bread. But need to up game to be excellent. Flowers in washroom should be real. Not artificial.

excellent dinner and very refined cuisine

Worst experience of my 2 month trip through Canada! I was extremely embarrassed by the waiter who asked why I was alone, if I was married, why Im not married and even asked for my email! I had to call the manager and show him the video I had recorded. Harassing customers in such a sophisticated environment!? Disappointment is what defines. Elen @sp4you

I ate very well And very smiling girl served me And very well recommended

We wanted a special couples evening out. The interior was well-appointed with white tablecloths all around. The sound-level was such that we could enjoy our conversation. Service was outstanding; welcoming, professional, and very attentive. The meal was outstanding; well prepared, excellent cooking, well presented. We enjoyed our evening and would come again if we are in town.

A lovely atmosphere - great drinks, fair pricing, yummy food and wonderful, friendly service.

Great experience and amazing food

Nice place, I expected something better.

Best dining experience Ive had. Service was impeccable, food incredible. Dietary restrictions: Very helpful with gluten allergy

Always a pleasure to come back! So delicious. Great service

Very nice place, this is my 4th visit and once again, I am not disappointed. Very good food, good atmosphere and excellent staff. Concerned and present owner. If you go to Quebec this is a place that I recommend....

Excellent restaurant, I highly recommend it! Our chef Guy, great interpersonal skills and very friendly, thank you for this wonderful evening! Rock feller oysters are a delicacy and sweet for the palate!

Old school French restaurant. Excellent food. So many dishes are flambeed.

We had a fantastic anniversary dinner at Le Continental. The food was excellent and the service and atmosphere were outstanding. I highly recommend it!

Great restaurant. They cook the steak right beside your table, which is unique. the staff were all very nice and accommodating. It feels like a decent value. Its not inexpensive, but compared to the Keg it feels like you are getting more for a similar price, if a bit more expensive.

Welcome worthy of a great restaurant! Having our meats prepared directly at our table made the experience even more enjoyable! Our server and cook Keven was most friendly! Experience that we will do again very soon!

This is a fun place for an adventurous dining experience. The food is very good and the service is excellent. Issam was our designated chef and he was great - very professional, very accommodating and very pleasant. Given that the food is prepared at your table, the restaurant should improve its ventilation.. Highly recommended for a special dining experience.

Thank you for the good care. 100% on my side.

Wow! But what a great evening we had, great service, excellent food, great wine list, in short, a successful dinner, well done! A French cuisine restaurant that has been operating since 1958, they flambé dishes directly at your table!! What a great experience I highly recommend!

Le Continental was a delight for our palates and senses, all at the same time. We enjoyed the skill of our chef who turned our dinner preparation into an event, while also creating a delectable feast for us to indulge in. Awesome French Cooking! Food

Our servers name is Matthew, he was absolutely amazing! He welcomed us genuinely and showed us The ropes, as it was our first time there. He was very informational, talk to us about the ingredients that were being used and put on a great show.

The place is very nice with a very unique performance. Every worker here are very friendly with talents. There are selections on the menu that cooks right in front of us including the steak, seafood, and Caesar salad. Many employees are bilingual and communicates very well. The food is amazing as well with many selections. The steak is well cooked, and the seafood are so fresh. Definitely recommend everyone who is gonna be visiting Old City of Quebec

A staple in Quebec, beautiful place, located in the middle of old Quebec by the chateau Frontenac, with traditionnal french food with great waiters and service. A bit pricey but well worth it.

Michels atmosphere, service and exceptional food. THANKS.

Its worth the detour, very nice, the extraordinary filet mignon Parking: Its ok

Excellent, as always. Nothing to change in the formula. We go there every year for our favorite dessert, the crepes Suzette. A small downside: cold air current coming from the ceiling.

Impeccable restaurant and service. What a beautiful evening!

Le Continental was by far the best food, ambience and service we have ever experienced! It was absolutely perfect! Our server was outstanding! He grew up in Paris! Food

The 2nd floor is not for those 50 and under, atmosphere. We were not advised to have a meal with flames at the table. Very cooked filet mignon, I was not asked to cook it. The servers did very well. A place that nevertheless provides quite an experience.

Delicious and impeccable service!

only 4 rather than 5 because the waiter was so rushed. He was literally bouncing between tables. For such a nice restaurant the service should be more refined.

A hit every time! From the good to the service everything is always impeccable! I m a big foodie and love this place!

Giant Sea Scallops with creamed spinach! Wonderful!

Everything was exceptional, from the service to the food. It was such a great experience. I have recommended this restaurant to my friends.

Always so good and unique! A place to revisit every time you spend in Quebec!

We were very disappointed with the Continental, supposed to be a great classic with impeccable service. Our reservation was only at 8:30 p.m., so we expected to be in the main dining room at the 2nd table. But no, we were placed on the 2nd floor in a private room which really doesnt have the same character as the ground floor. Another rather noisy group was already there. In addition, our waiter in training did not recommend the right dishes (and dropped a flute of beer which literally exploded on the table, but that can happen). The filet mignon was overcooked and the recommended dishes did not cook at the table, which we would have liked to see. The sea scallops werent really any bigger than usual. However, the lobster bisque, gratin dauphinois and caesar salad were all very delicious dishes. For the price of the bill, we expected more.

Classy restaurant with impeccable table service. The preparation of dishes at the table is recommended. Excessive prices, with 30% less it would deserve 5 stars

This was the absolute worst experience I ve ever had at any restaurant. On top of that, I m pretty sure the waiters are racist. Our medium rare steak was cooked to rock solid, but they still insisted it was medium rare in Quebec s standard. They initially didnt want to remake the steak because we ate a few small pieces. How else do we know it was overcooked? When they finally agreed to cook another one for us, the guy was super aggressive and had attitude. Fries didn t come with dipping sauce until we asked. The negligent waiter knocked over our pepper shaker and dropped a fork on the floor almost hitting my friend in the toe without even apologizing. He placed one of the main dish plate on the edge of our table where no one was able to reach. When we left, they did not want to take our advise to improve their service. Instead, they gave us attitude and ignored us. AVOID this place at all cost, maybe unless you are white and speak French.

Private chefs tasting on gourmet food tour!

Fantastic place, best Caesar salad by Andrea!

Table side prep was amazing! Can t wait to return!!!

Everything you dream about when eating at a place called Le Continental in a city like Quebec & more. Delicious food, wonderful staff. Surrender yourself to the spirit & let the flambé warm your heart.

The fire cooking was unique and such an interactive experience! We loved our waiter Matthew.

Wonderful evening at Le Continental. Excellent food and top notch service.

They cook the food next to your table which is their gimmick to justify overcharging for everything.

Le Continental is a MUST VISIT when in Quebec City! Food was 10/10, service was great, and the price was well worth it for the quality. Glad we had this recommendation from our tour guide, and would definitely go back the next time in QC!

a unique experience

When I say this was the most amazing dinner ever, I mean it. Issem went above and beyond making sure we were happy throughout the evening and cooking us amazing table side food. Carlos was also incredible helping out and making sure our needs were met. I would go here everyday if I could Thank you Issem, Carlos, and the rest of the Continental staff for making our dinner one to remember!

Fabulous ambience, food and top notch waiters made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The flambé skills of the waiters were mesmerising. Highly recommend. Dietary restrictions: My husband is a coeliac and they were able to make gluten free recommendations. They also had specific GF bread rolls.

Made reservations from the advice of a friend. Just a great experience. Started with very good cocktails and Canadian lobster as an appetizer (excellent). Then had flambé steak prepared tableside. Not only a great experience and entertaining but the food was outstanding. They also do Caesar salad tableside but we thought it would be too much food. Highly recommend

With the exception of the smoked salmon (very dry, a plate prepared too far in advance?), the scallops and chocolate mousse were excellent. Courteous and efficient service.

The dining experience was fantastic! The atmosphere was great- white table cloths, lovely cocktail starters, dinner and dessert recommend by our server. We arrived early for our reservations and the staff accommodated us. It was an anniversary celebration so no pictures to share. I had the Dover Sole, it was deboned at the table & my husband had the Flambe Peppercorn Sirlion Steak. Both items were prepared at the table. A fantastic dining experience all around!

What a wonderful experience for my birthday, for the first time! The food, the music, the atmosphere, were incredible! And what about the service of our server, Mathieu Boucher, known as Butch . He made sure that everything was to our taste and that everything was to our complete satisfaction. I highly recommend the continental restaurant and we will definitely go back! Congratulations to the whole team for your friendliness and your professionalism!

Recommended by a friend, this was a wonderful date night experience for our short stay in Quebec City. We were given a lovely table at the back window overlooking pots of beautiful flowers on a deck. Service was impeccable and the chef specials of Beef Welling and Noissettes of beef tenderloin were expertly prepared.

Food and service were excellent. My partner and I both said it s in our top 3 meals of our life. Would highly suggest to anyone visiting Quebec City.

The top-notch service and attention to detail is exceptional. The food was outstanding. If you are in the area, definitely add this fine dining experience to your list!
