BISTRO LE SAM in Québec City

Rachelle is amazing! Leadership and best customer service I have experienced!

We were charged Meat of the market / day at 55$ for the special of the day ravioli. When I questioned our waiter about it, he said it was in French, not knowing we speak and read the language. Viande du marché is not ravioli.

Cheese and charcuterie platter is a delight. The signature cocktails are good and very generous in alcohol. The view is breathtaking.

Le SAM offers a stunning setting and excellent food, with dishes that arrived quickly and were delicious. Items our table ordered: Cod Fish and Chips, Roasted Cod, Goat Cheese and Spinach Puff Pie and Boston Salad with Chicken. However, the service left much to be desired. Cocktails were improperly mixed, bread arrived well after the main meals, and the waitstaff was difficult to get ahold of. It also took over 30 minutes to get the check, leaving us feeling forgotten. Despite the issues, I d consider trying them again for the food and atmosphere, hoping for an improved service experience. Vegetarian options: 3 vegetarian options plus marked appetizers and small bite options Dietary restrictions: fully marked menu and willing to work with you. Parking: Valet, restaurant will stamp to validate.

Splendid dining experience! Sebastian the bartender made the evening even more delightful! Thank you!

Took 90 minutes from ordering food to receiving it. Then it came cold. Fries were soggy and cold, salmon tartare was flavorless, and the steak had a fishy taste (noticed it was sharing the same grill as fish on way out). Service was absent at best - we had to ask for replacement fries. There are plenty of better local options you should be choosing from. Oh, the French onion soup was not recommended (cheese is bland)

Not GF friendly. Reservation and table we got didn t match. Food ok not great. Very very expensive for what you get especially wine which is 20+ for glass. Beautiful place especially at Christmas.

We went there for a little cocktail at the end of the evening. We fell in love with the quality of what we were served as well as the attentive service we received. We will be going soon, not just for a drink, but a complete meal!

My two stars goes only to Sherri and Michael, who were doing their best in saving the evening. Without them it s just 0. The supervisor who can t do anything in his own words was just sad ending of our evening. My guess is the hotel management doesn t empower their employees in accommodating guests and clients needs. Which is strange because what s the point of having supervisor in restaurant when he tied to do nothing. Especially when one of our company is his colleague just from another city s Fairmont. He couldn t even make staff discount, which should be a usual thing. On my question what are you doing then in case some random guest is not satisfied with food for example? Also no help or discounts or whatever? - no clear answer was followed. Being myself in hospitality for 6 years it s just ridiculous and strange to observe such i would even say snobbery towards guests. Food was okay in overall, but behaviour eclipses that. When you come to any place but especially to such places like Fairmont you expect to be welcomed.

Amazing view and tasty food! It was expensive for the amount of food, but everything was really tasty! Food

What a beautiful restaurant nestled in The Chateau Frontenac. It was a non pretentious, warm environment with atmospheric lighting. Lots to offer with its wide selection of food, especially gluten free. They have gluten-free bread to offer before your meal with butter, which is a plus. Since this option is not so widely offered. Highly recommend.

Worst meal in Quebec with lots of delicious food It took 30 minutes to order food. Even if I told 3 or 4 people that I would order, they said they would talk to the server in charge and gave me no news. After ordering the meal in 30 minutes, I was worried that it would take another 30 minutes to order the dessert, so I ordered everything at once and had the main and dessert served together (if they were ordered together and served together, why do the appetizers and mains come out in that order?) Meanwhile, the steak came out perfectly cooked. The day before, I had a steak for the same price at the Continental in front of the hotel, but both the taste and service were heaven and earth. The worst of them is the fishy smell that comes from washing dishes, including wine and coffee cups, with a scrubber that hasnt been disinfected for a long time. When leaving, the staff in front of the restaurant were chatting with each other, so there was no one to see them off. It was a meal not worth the $1 tip. I highly recommend the $12 poutine in front of the hotel.

What a wonderful dining experience!!! The place was quite family-friendly and our server, David was aboslutley an all-star!! He was really caring and even offered to take our family pic. The braised short ribs was cooked to perfection!!

Excellent service from Loubna

Incredible experience. Food, wine, view, and the service was perfect. We were served my a waitress by the name of Marie-Eve, she was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made our experience perfect. Exceeded expectations Dietary restrictions: We have a nut allergy and they were able to make modifications and accommodate us perfectly!

I ordered the scallops as my main dish. For $48 (not including tax and tips), it came with two small scallops with a half sausage together with endives and three pieces of pear confit. This plate may be acceptable as an appetizer, but not a main dish. The pear confit was too sweet and seemed to be taken out of a dessert plate very disappointing, both with the quality and the quantity

The place is magnificent. We had a table for 2 with a view directly over the river and Lévis all lit up. The tables are spaced further apart than many other restaurants giving us more privacy. The service has been excellent and the staff are very courteous. My scallop plate ($50) only had 3 scallops. They were very good but there could have been more. I was left hungry. My partners salad was rather ordinary.

my favourite restaurant whenever I visit quebec city. Their ravioli is must try

We enjoyed our service and the food Hats off to Luyana for taking excellent care of us and our kids Food

Our server Maxime was incredible, the Québec Table Gourmande menu was delicious, and the portions generous. We had a really pleasant experience. Advice on food and wine pairings, very good.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cuisine at Bistro Le Sam. The dishes are well presented and the flavors are bold. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We went there on the occasion of my daughter s second birthday. While the ambience is amazing, the food was just average and the service was just bad. The server was just grumpy all the time (we felt almost unwelcome there). When we asked him to change the salad we ordered to something on the kids menu, we just ended up with both. It s as if whatever we were requesting was not being heard at all. He didn t even ask if her veggies should be raw or steamed and was brought raw. You guys can do better. Please. The whole experience was hence very underwhelming

Exquisite!

Always nice to Sam! Only downside: the (public) toilets were dirty!

beef tartar 5/5 mixed board 4/5 cocktails overpriced Food

Our reservation was lost for our birthday party, but the manager did everything to correct it. Excellent food, excellent service, and the view near the river is unbeatable. We will return!

Would definitely visit again, when we are in Québec City. Thank you. Great place.

Nice atmosphere but the food is disgusting. Hands down the worst cheeseburger I ever had in my life. Not sure if it was even meat. Total rip-off. Cannot recommend.

Food and service were great!

Luana was an excellent server. Great ambience. Had a table with an amazing view. Cocktails were beautiful and delicious. Food overall was very good. Would return.

Set within the storied walls of the Château Frontenac, SAM Bistro captures the grandeur of Quebec City s most iconic landmark. Its setting is, without question, one of the restaurant s major draws. A reservation is a must if you re hoping to snag a table on the terrace, where panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River provide a breathtaking backdrop to the meal. For those seated deeper within the restaurant, the lively, elegant ambiance remains intact, buoyed by attentive and well-trained staff who lend the experience a polished air of professionalism. But as for the food one wishes it lived up to its prestigious surroundings. The cod dish and seafood casserole were pleasant enough but lacked the spark that would elevate them to memorable dining. It was a meal that delivered, but without the flair expected in such a setting. This theme of underwhelm was most pronounced with the coffee service: while SAM offers an array of brews, all are machine-made. In a restaurant of this stature, one might expect more care in the details, particularly for something as simple, and potentially transformative, as a freshly prepared cup of coffee. Prices, predictably, trend towards the upper end, though this seems more a reflection of the château s grandeur than of the culinary artistry. SAM is undeniably a place to experience, especially for those eager to take in its sweeping views. But for food that truly matches the majesty of the setting? Perhaps elsewhere.

newspaper eat Only give bad seats

Had drinks at the bar. Service was excellent, as was the ambiance. Lovely place

We took the package for the Quebec lotto fires with a group last Thursday at Bistro Sam. Beautiful menu but disappointing food from start to finish, especially the beef so cooked that it was gray. As for the Service, courteous person .but very expeditious, emptying a full bottle of wine into 4 glasses in one go .it has to be done. In short, very disappointing for our favorite hotel in Quebec and it is still Fairmount Château Frontenac. On the positive side, we should highlight the excellent valet service. However, toilet cleaning should be improved.

Having eaten there at least 50 times over the last 10 years! What a magnificent restaurant and what can we say about Laurent the waiter and the staff! Wow! The quality is there!

Lovely relaxed experience on the terrace, nice view, great food and sensational service by Anne.

probably the worst and rudest service Ive ever seen. Someone hates the job they work at. Food was good

Wonderful experience dining inside Fairmont Le Château Frontenac Super friendly server We booked in advance online requesting window seat just stunning view from the restaurant overlooking St L River Great steak, cod and dessert I have potato allergy they substitute carrot puree and it goes well with the steak Definitely a must visit when you come to Old Quebec Parking: Use the app to pay for parking they refund remaining unused value to your credit card very simple to use and I only park few minutes walk from the hotel , street parking

Always so pleasant! Extraordinary service

Dinner was amazing. The atmosphere, the service, the food all top-notch! We ordered more food than we could eat because we didn t expect the portions to be so huge. Big shout out to our amazing server, Annick! She went above and beyond and definitely deserves applause (and a great tip).

Bistro Le Sam is one of several restaurants. inside the Hotel Chateau Frontenac - a Quebec City landmark. I had dinner here on a Friday night. It was smart to book a table when the bistro was full - a good sign I ordered - French onion soup for starters - Flank steak for main course - Cafe Gourmand for dessert Since I had to drive back to the hotel was there no wine - only carbonated water with the meal The food tasted VERY GOOD and was nicely presented (see pictures) The waiters were cheerful and nice, but the timing was not the best; - the soup was half eaten when the bread was served - The accessories for the coffee were served first when the coffee had become lukewarm. - The bill came quickly, but accepting payment took time Mood; Several families with children arrived with children running around the room. Music was played over speakers In addition, there are (at least) 2 TVs which shows American sports & commercials. If you want to enjoy the food in quiet surroundings This is definitely NOT the right place Value for money; Food; Definitely Service; Maybe Mood; No

Super nice evening at Bistro Le Sam. Excellent food, generous dishes. A special mention to our waitress Annie F. who was perfect! Shot of

Watching Luana at the Fairmont chateau Frontenac downtown Quebec the personality, steadfastness and competency is bar none. Rarely have I witnessed someone with such dexterity handle issues and special requests with the kitchen so deftly. (We are gluten-free) She is an amazing lady. Ive dined in several countries and Luana rises above and beyond what Ive experienced. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. We will be back.

absolutely love this restaurant the food was outstanding the service was also top-notch.

Totally loved our noon lunch on our second day in Quebec. The views were splendid, the food was spot on, and service just right.

SAM at the Fairmont is an absolute gem. The food is simply amazing, and the service is outstanding from start to finish. The French onion soup is a must-try rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The goat cheese & spinach puff pie salad is equally incredible, with flaky pastry and fresh, vibrant flavors. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!

What a lovely place for a dinner The view of the river The decor of the room and this bar!! The open kitchen The chic and comfortable furniture.. The service is gentle and discreet The plate is well proportioned and inventive... the perfect starter with foie and simply perfect ... I went there on my birthday... I got my cake... What if thats not being considerate? Thanks again Marie Claude See you soon.

I loved my experience....

With anticipation of this being an amazing dining experience, my opinion was altered. Let me say the staff are amazing!!!! They were very attentive to our needs!! Well done. The food, I give it a 3 out 5. I had fish and chips and it definitely had been precooked and deep fried to warm up. Very disappointing. The fries were soggy. Best part of the meal was the garden salad! For such a famous restaurant it would be nice if the food was worth the price.

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. I am very glad that I finally tried your restaurant! Food

I m young so this is subjective but my food had a lot of sauce, which made it less enjoyable for me, but overall service and atmosphere is great.

Amazing place to have a nice lunch with amazing view.

Excellent food and atmosphere Vegetarian options: Good choice but not much fir vegan Food : 5/5 |

The onion soup is very good, I ordered the main dish rib and it was spectacular. Good cocktails.

A magnificent place, adorable staff but a cuisine far from being up to the price demanded for the Feu Lotos Quebec menu. However, I recommend it for the unrivaled view and the kindness of the service teams.

What a wonderful dining experience! Our table looked out over the St. Lawrence River, which provided a beautiful backdrop for our meal. The cocktails were fantastic and the charcuterie board is not to be missed. The salad dressing was the best I have ever tasted and the service was great.

Fantastic food with an amazing venue. If reserving, try for the interior alcove for a river view. You can also park at the hotel where the client entry is - it was valet and free! Our waiter Gautier was fantastic - he spoke English and French and was very personable. Took a while for our drinks to come, though. Food was nicely portioned and good quality for the price. We were two adults and a teen, none of us very hungry. We split a burger that came with fries and a side salad, calamari and the starter ribs and could barely finish it. It cost roughly CAD 100. Wheelchair accessibility: The alcove is a bit tight for a chair but the interior restaurant would be fine.

We had a larger group of 11 people. The food was good but I wouldnt say it was exceptional. The biggest reason for only three stars is that the service was really slow. This is definitely fine dining and by no means were we in a rush but it was a solid 1 hour and 45 minutes before we got our entrees. Our server was very nice but some of the food runners were not as pleasant. Also, I had made the reservation through the concierge and she told me there would be fireworks on that particular evening that we could watch from the restaurant but there were no fireworks. That was not a big deal but I was surprised that the concierge had gotten this wrong.

Made a 9:00 reservation, I arrived to their bar at 8:15 for a drink. They were calling on my phone by 8:20 telling me I could come early if I wanted. I told them I was already at the bar and would come over at 9. At 8:45 before my drinks even arrived, the hostess found me and told me I needed to leave the bar now because the kitchen was closing at 9. Why do they take reservations for after the kitchen is closing? We were totally rushed. Had to bring our 60.00 drinks over to our table and quickly place an order. I had the fish and chips, the fries were totally cold and soggy, the salad had a tiny squirt of dressing. I have had better fish and chips from a truck on the street. I couldnt eat anything besides the fish. The waiter asked you didn t like it? I said no, it was bad. He didn t respond except do you want dessert I would not go back here

Great tasting food and ambiance

The hostess will try to seat you in a bad seat when a window seats is available. The service was good. The food was okay.

First experience, and it was generally good. The only disappointing thing was the service, quite messy if I could describe it, the waiter Mr Laurent, repeatedly misses things, forgets our drinks, charges us the big salad instead of the small one even though we had asked for the small one and etc. . We had a rack of lamb that was undercooked even though we had asked for better done than M-S and it was even close to rare in my opinion. We asked to cook it again. The short ribs were delicious. The Caesar salad was also the best I have ever eaten! The view is incredible and it s a great place to relax. The experience would surely have been better with a more professional server creating less of a mess around us. Finally he forgot to give us the parking ticket even though we told him that we were parking in the hotels basement. At the exit he asked for $24 Luckily he was kind and gave us the free exit. So for $200 we would have liked to have had a better service experience.

This is the best French Onion soup in QC and the French fries(?!) have the best taste along with the ketchup(?!). Amazing views Best service. Tres chic ambience. Do not miss this amazing experience

Please know if you are a party of one (even with a reservation), a table with a view is not an option. You ll be catfished into a room with no windows, dark paneling and tvs, regardless of the time or wait. I wanted to leave, but somehow ended up sitting down in this room and missed the sunset on this beautiful Summer evening. On the up side, the roasted cod was delicious.

The staff had been always helpful and nice. The food was simple yet so rich, one of the best food we had in Quebec.

Very good food. You need a fairly high budget but very very good. Tender meat like Ive never tasted and tasty. Reasonable portion Parking: Parking with valet or without in the basement of the castle

It was raining that night and we were too lazy to leave the hotel, so we were lucky to score a table for dinner. Two weeks later, I m sitting here, at work, still mesmerized over the creaminess of their seafood chowder. Atmosphere gets 4 stars because there isn t anything memorable about it. Don t get me wrong, it s a nice restaurant with all the pizazz but you know what I mean!

A visit to just have a drink and a small entry. The taste of the oysters was delicious and my gin and tonic was great. The decor is beautiful and I received excellent service.

I was in Quebec City with my siblings, and we treated ourselves to Sunday Brunch at Bistro Le Sam in the stunningly gorgeous Fairmont Chateau Frontenac. What a wonderful experience. We ordered from the menu--the buffet was far too much food for all of us--and it was fantastic. We each had a different breakfast, and none of us were disappointed, at all. I ordered a side of ham and a side of sourdough toast and there was plenty of food. It beat any ham and toast Ive ever had. The coffee was fresh and hot and never-ending. And the service was superb! The restaurant is beautiful, and very large, with excellent views outside. If ever I am in Quebec City again, Bistro Le Sam is on the itinerary.

Nice view, nice food, convenient from the hotel.

Disappointing at best. Apparently it s just a joint in the Chateau; I am bewildered by the great reviews. The oysters were ok, but thin and limp (unlike the ones I had the night before at Albacore - highly recommend). The Caesar salad was so overdressed there was a bowl of soup left over. The only thing that was pretty good was the beef tartare, but that only came with 2 thin toasts. I used the croutons from the Caesar to compensate. I did have a beautifully made cocktail but in general the bartender/server was distracted by everyone else. I was seated at the bar, with no view, so I was hoping for more from the food and service. At least I had a fabulous cocktail to drown my sorrows in.

It is beyond my comprehension that a restaurant in such a hotel can be so bad. The only decent part of our lunch was my glass of wine except that it was well overpriced. My wife ordered mushroom rigatoni. The pasta was so overcooked that every rigatoni was completely flattened under the weight of the very sticky and tasteless cream sauce. Although there were some mushrooms present they were basically tasteless as well. If there was indeed any of the specified parmigiano incorporated into the dish I could not tell. There certainly was no sprinkling of fresh gated cheese on top nor was any offered. I ordered a main course size salmon tartare. As the menu did not give any indication as to the seasonings of the tartare I had to ask our waiter what flavours to expect so I could properly pair a glass of wine with it. Unfortunately, I could detect none of the flavourings he described. The dish tasted pretty much like salmon with a very mild and ever so slightly citrusy mayonnaise. There was some sort of slightly spicy and boring mayonnaise like substance smeared about on the plate as well. The fries that came with it were not only cold and rubbery but looked and tasted like they had taken a second trip through the deep fryer after having sat around and become to cold for service. Fortunately for me the side green salad had a dressing just acidic enough to cut the fat from the fries and mayonnaise (s) even though it was far too sweet for my liking. A hotel with the reputation and resources of the Fairmont chain should be well and truly ashamed of itself for presenting so poorly in one of its fine dining establishments. I have had better food in extremely inexpensive pubs.

Really great experience for our 10th anniversary

Beautiful restaurant, excellent food. Impeccable service, they took care to advise us well, to make us personalized drinks, which I loved! The view, the atmosphere, everything was magnificent! I recommend

Best restaurant we ate at in the city. It was more pricey but very lovely. Portions are smaller for the entrees but very well done. They are kid friendly and even have kids menus. The 3 meat, 2 charcuterie board was fantastic! I had the short rib which was as tender as could be! Wife had the cod entree and said it wasn t as good as mine. They are gluten free friendly. Absolutely wonderful experience even if it is on the pricier side.

I love this place. Its always nice to sit at the bar and chat with the mixologist. You have to try the truffle popcorn the poutine and the beef tartare. Food

The food was great! I had a lovely spinach cheese puff pastry! However, service was quite slow. The first night we had Evelyn, who was so lovely. The second night, we had someone else; his service was slower. The angel cake was super small. Some portions were small. The bar doesnt mix cocktails too well, and they put way too much ice in their drinks imo. Beautiful view.

Solid experience. The service was great, food was great and we had a table in the alcove so we had a water view. I recommend the alcove seating so make your reservation early. We had the goat cheese and spinach puff pie, the mushroom rigatoni, the five cheese board, the carrot soup, and the Caesar salad. All were excellent. Vegetarian options: There are at least 2-3 vegetarian options.

I can t say enough good things about the service we received from Karen and Marie-Eve. Their professionalism and warmth added a personal touch to our afternoon, and we left feeling thoroughly satisfied. Bistro Le Sam restaurant exceeded all expectations. You do not often find a place where every element comes together so perfectly. I ve been to many similar restaurants, but this one truly stands out. The attention to detail and commitment to guest service set it apart from the rest. From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was very well handled. I appreciate the team for putting together such an unforgettable birthday surprise and experience. I want to thank Karen and Marie-Eve for going above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was perfect. Their genuine hospitality and impeccable service made all the difference. I can t thank both of them enough for their fantastic and outstanding service. They went out of their way to accommodate my requests and made me and my entire family feel very special. Karen showed me that she truly cares about the restaurant guests and she went above and beyond to make sure I left Bistro Le Sam restaurant very happy and she definitely made the difference making sure our time spend there was truly one of a kind and unforgettable. Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance made for a memorable experience. I clearly would give more than 5 stars if I could and I highly recommend it!!! If you go to Québec city and you want to experience one if a kind dining Bistro Le Sam restaurant should definitely be one of your top priorities. Thanks to the entire team , I will definitely be back!

Excellent service in a beautiful enviroment.

Beautiful experience overall, ask to be seated in the alcove, thats where the million dollar view is! Parking: Ask your server to validate your parking before leaving.

Thursday May 2, 2024. Our reservation made on April 27 is 6:45 p.m., 4 p.m. asks to be in the glass roof where it is indicated that there should be no problem. Unfortunately we arrive at 6:30 p.m. Having no one at reception, we move towards the Sam side. A waiter asks us to wait at reception, the hostess will come, when possible; its not busy. The young hostess, with glasses and a ponytail, looks rather severe, not smiling or friendly, no greetings, good evening... Zero. We can say that the reception site is rather poorly organized, we get mixed up, there is no real place to wait except at the bar. OH we are early and our table is not available. OK we ask to wait at the bar and come and pick us up when the table is ready. NO even says she doesnt have time to run after customers. Nice. We still opt for the bar and she tells us that its up to us to come back for the table. Since she is the one who places us at the bar it is obvious that she knows where to find us. WOW, that s happy. We come back for our table on the SAM side, direct us to a table or the lovers bench at the darkest back of the restaurant, not a glass table. The manager comes to see us, she offers us an aperitif while waiting to see what the table is like. Its the 3rd person who tells us that shes going to see about the table. Finally my friend who is the birthday girl accepts another table near the kitchen with very low chairs. Our chests are at the height of the table, we feel like Sctrumphs. Fortunately he had Laurie our waitress who did everything to make it better. Finally, before choosing the Château again, we will let the staff mature. We are 4 people aged 72 to 81 who are used to restaurants. Compare with Baton Rouge Ste-Foy where another anniversary was celebrated on April 26; its day and night = To choose take the Baton Rouge for the welcome, the brightness and also the dishes and there too there is champagne and drinks for all tastes. There too he has young staff who dont take themselves too seriously.

Our server Louis couldn t have been any better! He made our anniversary feel special. Would definitely recommend him and the food

The service was more than perfect and the food was tasty. The restaurant managed to find us a place for 8 despite our lack of preparation. Of course, the cost was higher and the plates were less generous (but absolutely sufficient) as in any restaurant of this range, but we were surprised by the size of the childrens plates and the chosen starter (fried onions and squid) . We ate this starter with 4 people as there were so many.

Cristof was super nice. I only had a snack, which hit the spot. The atmosphere was very nice

The onion soup I had was the most delicious Ive ever tasted. I requested a custom cocktail, and it was satisfyingly similar to the picture I showed the server. Ordering the Caesar salad and steak didnt disappoint either. The consistency of taste across Fairmont locations is impressive.

The consistency and quality of the cuisine and service can always be counted on au Château Frontenac. Sam s Bistro remain one of my usual go-to places in the city. I had the Seafood Casserole this time around and it did not disappoint. A real pleasure for the palate, highly recommended!

Was happy to discover this place. Definitely recommend!

The Sam Bistro is an amazing experience once you enjoy their menu and drinks. The view is beautiful and the service is excellent. Laurie the hostess saved our night because there was an error with our reservarion, and David provided the right recommendations for food. I would highly recommend this place, as you get to enjoy a nice dinner at the Chateau Frontenac with an amazing view.

We made reservations which I highly suggest. This is a fabulous restaurant located in the Chateau Frontenac. The decor, atmosphere and service are exquisite. The food presentation ws very attractive and reasonably priced compared to other restaurant menus we see about the city. Some tables are overlooking the terrace and the St Lawrence River. A wonderful experience.

Good bistro, good food and good service

we went in and told them twice that one person in my party had an allergy to seafood, we called for 2 burgers and it was ok. about 30 minutes after leaving the restaurant, my girlfriend started to have an allergy reaction and then she ended up being hospitalized. customer service couldn t do anything beside saying sorry.

Unfortunately we will never dine here again, the experience was that bad. Avoid eating here at all costs. The food selection is poor and only matched in its crapulence by how extremely rude the staff waiter was. He clearly hated serving Americans and even slammed the waters down on the table so hard that they spilled everywhere and then walked away without cleaning it up. We watched him ignore our table, not bothering to get more water after we drank the half glass that was left. The food was boring, bland, and very over priced. Very surprised such a place was in the Frontenac. The only good thing is their pastry chef.

Very good restaurant. The staff was amazing. The food was great and generous. Prices are alright.

Certainly an idyllic and touristy place for Quebec, and the establishment takes full advantage of it. Let me explain: we certainly ate well, that being said, charging $22 for a glass of wine, dear Sam Bistro, is a steal, nothing more, nothing less. Considering the wine served, this is in no way justified and I frankly hope that you will read my review and that your manager will take note of it (and there is no need to come back to me with import costs, Quebec taxes and I in passing: this-is-not-justified) This is a practice whose sole aim is to gain as much favor as possible for the customer, period). So unfortunately, and just for that reason, I will not come back to it and I will kindly move on but not without expressing my dissatisfaction. There are a thousand other pretty little places in Quebec that serve you local food that is just as good and with a glass of wine (if it happens to be the same) at a price that doesnt scream in your face that someone is going to rob you in good and due forms. Word to the wise, hello.

Hard to give more. Bistro on Saturday girlfriend and I went for a date. The server himself was impeccable and very helpful. On the other hand, we had waited almost an hour and a half for our starter: a simple plate of cold meats and cheese (quite expensive thank you, but we expected that). The problem being that some fruits were moldy!! Well lets see, at the price we pay I would have liked the few fruits on the plate to be tempting... after this decent starter, we waited almost an hour for our main course. My girlfriend did not receive the steak she wanted, which is fine. But the replacement cup was not worth the price at all. We werent talking about the filet mignon we paid for. In short, for the price, we would have done better at home. The atmosphere was perfect.

Ask for a place along the windows to have one of the most beautiful views of the Saint Lawrence from a restaurant. We pay for the view. The service is intended to be high-end but it is less good than in certain places where a lower standard is expected. We didnt taste the dishes. Just desserts. The pie was excellent. However, the quality of the gourmet cafés sweet treats was not up to par. 70 dollars before tip for whats in the photos.

Visiting Le Sam Bistrot Évolution at the Château Frontenac was an unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional, offering a delightful array of flavors that spoke of high-quality ingredients and culinary expertise. What truly set this dining experience apart was the breathtaking view. Overlooking the scenic vistas, the restaurant provided a mesmerizing backdrop that enhanced every moment of our meal. Additionally, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our visit was perfect. I highly recommend Bistrot Sam for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in a stunning location.

Amazing French Bistro in Château Frontenac. Chose to dine here during our recent hotel stay. Without any specific plans, we managed to snag a last-minute reservation for a table in the lounge area on a Saturday night. While the lounge didnt offer a view of the river, it compensated with a cozy ambiance, complete with plush couches that added to the comfortable setting. We started off our meal with three outstanding appetizers: the Gaspesian Cake, Foie Gras Parfait, and Quebec Beef Tartare. The Quebec Beef Tartare was expertly seasoned, with a mild sweetness and a hint of mustard. The Gaspésian Cake, which I tried for the first time, was also very satisfying. It was somewhat denser than other cod cakes Ive tried, yet retained a soft and pillowy texture. But the true highlight was undoubtedly the Foie Gras Parfait. Perched atop a soft, mildly sweet pastry, the creamy parfait blended exquisitely with it. For the entrée, we opted for the Scallops and the Rack of Lamb. The scallops were beautifully complemented by the slight bitterness of braised endives, the rich sweetness of burnt pears, and the creaminess of Roquefort sauce. The inclusion of blood pudding was unconventional, but it proved to be a more interesting choice than the typical mashed potatoes. With a perfect amount of fat and a well-subdued lamb aroma, the Roasted Lamb was also amazing. The Herb Crust, although not a game-changer, contributed a pleasant crunch to each bite. We also couldn t resist getting the poutine. Elevated with pulled beef cheek toppings, the poutine was better than most poutines I ve had in the past. Although the fries themselves were average, the combination of beef, pickles, cheese, and fries were addicting. As for the cocktails, they were a tad pricier compared to other Quebec restaurants, but they were great. Overall, Le SAM Bistro went above and beyond our expectations in every aspect, from the attentive service to the exquisite food. It might lack the ambiance of a more local restaurant, but if you re looking for impeccable French food, I highly recommend giving them a try.

The dishes we ordered were just ordinary. Nothing to write home about. I ve had better diner food.

The fish is gorgeous, the bread is not fresh/homemade, but the butter is excellent.

The decoration is amazing, the view was spectacular!

Well deserved stop to have a nice meal on my way out East for a couple weeks

The food was excellent, and I was initially considering giving it 5 stars. However, one aspect left me dissatisfied. The receptionists at the restaurant her name is Laurie, lacked hospitality and her demeanor towards us was unwelcoming. Her communication came across as discriminatory, which was disappointing.

. For my partners birthday, I reserved a table in the glass roof for 8 p.m. because thats the suggested time for the number of people we had. Perfect. We show up there and are made to wait 10 minutes because the customers have to finish paying. 20 minutes later we are offered the foyer to wait ok here we go. We wait another 20 minutes. I dont really understand the wait but oh well. So around 9 p.m. the young girl in charge will come and take us to our table which, surprisingly, are bistro tables at the back of the restaurant. I tell him that there is an error. My reservation is in the glass roof and this was confirmed earlier during the day because we are staying at the castle. In short, I will spare the details in the end we are placed in the glass roof. We start eating, it s 10:10 p.m. I m disappointed, I don t mind paying when everything is running smoothly, but that wasn t the case here. Very average service it lacks polish yes it is a bistro but we are at the castle. The day before we went to the bar on the other hand and wow at the professional and friendly barman and barmaid the team who was there February 23

Fabulous views of the St Laurence River, wonderful cusine and the decor is lovely and modern. Highly recommend! Food

The food is great, excellent quality, very delicious and very recommended, the waiter was very professional. They have a very nice view on the river. Feuilleté Chèvre very recommended Food : 5/5

Really disappointing dinner experience at such a luxury hotel. We were guests for one night in the Chateau and decided to have a late dinner to celebrate the start my husbands birthday weekend. The restaurant seemed short staffed, and while our server was polite, they were preoccupied with other tables and paid us little attention since we didnt order any drinks. The decor is also very beautiful with nice views of the river. However, the food does not match the ambience. We were served bread that was horribly stale and tasted as though it had been frozen before. The ceasar salad ($18) was bland and underdressed. The Chateau burger ($30) was inedible - dry, limp lettuce, and beyond overcooked, as if it had been sitting under the heat lamps for an hour. Our server tried to tell us that its because beef has to be cooked to a certain temperature in Canada (I think that they thought that we were foreigners even though were from Toronto), which simply isnt the case. They did take it off the bill, but we left hungry and disappointed with our experience.

Valet parking that charged our EV while eating. Food is EXCELLENT with a good variety for everyone. Drinks are also good. The view is just splendid.

Truffle popcorn, made in front of us, its Orville popcorn in the microwave and you dont even stir the bowl, I had to make it at the table... At $30 for a microwave popcorn and a bottle of water

Microwave popcorn, $20 Water $8 Taxes & tip = $40 for popcorn and still water

A superb place for an excellent meal, a big thank you to Marc Antoine for his service!

Perfect location. Beautiful views. Food is very tasty especially the French Onion Soup!

The setting is majestic and the view of the St Lawrence is exceptional. We asked for a table close to the bay windows to enjoy the view and taste delicious dishes. The sun and the blue sky were there which allowed us to enjoy the present moment with a butler who took great care of us. I must say that the hotel and restaurant service in Quebec is more professional! From starter to dessert, we enjoyed ourselves. I can only advise you ++++ to come and enjoy this restaurant. Parking: You can park a stones throw from the Château de Frontenac or give your keys to the hotel valet who will park your vehicle for you.

The place is great with an amazing view! Best location in Quebec city. Ask to be seated by the window. We were served by Annick, she was fantastic and lovely. All staff is really nice. The food was good, my favorite were the duck wings, absolutely delicious! This place is really worth visiting. Plus, you should know parking is free when you eat here!

Gentleman who served us was very professional and friendly. Food was great. French onion soup had a bit too much cheese but it was great. We had the table on hallway and lighting (one of those rechargeable tabletop lamp) felt strong and cheap. Overall had good experience :)

Great experience at Sam Bistro, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. A modern and cozy restaurant. I had the onion soup au gratin as a starter, good portion so be careful if you dont have a big appetite! For the main, a flank steak, small piece and good portion of salad, just perfect to have room for dessert! And to finish with dessert, a cheesecake, just wow! Thanks to our server for the good service.

I love the place

Amazing!

Last Sunday my wife and I were at the Chateau for one night (room # 1516) and we were looking forward to having dinner at Sams restaurant by the window overlooking St. Lawrence river but we were told that the best that they could offer was a non window table for 2, earliest 8 45pm and would call us in the unlikely event of a cancellation for an earlier seating. As there was no call, we disappointedly showed up at 8:45pm and the hostess at that time Elyse, even without having mentioned of our initial request took the trouble of finding us a table by a window and the dinner (specially the seafood casserole) was scrumptious which made our evening so perfectly romantic. So we thought it was worthy of mention as it is the hallmark of customer care. Thank you so much Elyse

Excellent table with a view of the river. Service was prompt and with a smile. Boston salad was outstanding! Highly recommend. The ambiance is what one should expect from a Fairmont venue...classy. Wonderful experience! Food

Nice place ,delicious food, good wine selection !

Excellent service!!!

Great cocktails and food. The service was great too!

We had three amazing dinners here during our stay at the Chateau Frontenac. We were seated I different areas of the restaurant for each meal (coincidence I suppose), but each was lovely and special in its own right. Food and service were stellar. Vegetarian options: Offers vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with good options

Great experience. Highly recommend having a reservation from before. We didn t need to wait at all because we had a reservation and we were seated immediately. The atmosphere is very nice, very luxurious, beautiful and calm. The server was absolutely amazing, she took great care of us and she was very kind. We ordered the French onion soup and ceasar salad for appetizers. The soup was a huge portion and very tasty, the cheese was melted to perfection and was very filling. The Caesar was great as well. For mains, we ordered the hanger stake, burger and the roasted cod with squash. The stakes were really great, it had a different taste and flavor but it was ok. The burger was extremely juicy and flavorful, it came with fries, salad and coleslaw. The roasted cod was ok, it was very soft and was served with squash and the pure, i would have liked it more if it had a bit more flavor and was served with something different other than mushy vegetables. However it tasted great. Overall a great experience and would recommend to try at least once.

Luana was charming and charismatic, she got the blue cheese for a dirty martini. The Fish entrées were excellent. We had great seats past the main dining hall overlooking the St Lawrence River. Teodora cocktail is Early Grey based.

Great food but is it worth the wait? We ordered the smoked meat, kids burger and steak tartare. The food was delicious but we waited 1h15mins for it and to clarify we ate lunch without appetizers the waitress refilled our water 3 times in that period which I think is not enough. I still recommend this place if you want to wait.

Passage June 2020! Superb, tasty, excellent service received! Had the chance to stay two nights at Château Frontenac and couldnt miss their restaurant! For a birthday party we booked into a beautiful, quiet little booth. We ate very well and the portions were generous. The service was up to par. And even that the server did more than necessary.

Residents of Quebec, since 2016 our family has been going to dinner at Bistro Sam to celebrate my mothers day. What was our desolation for the service. After several minutes sitting at our table we had to ask to bring us water, we also had to ask to bring us wine, no spoon for our soups, no bread plate and so on. The wine service was classless. For us, the Château WAS the pinnacle in Quebec, we always expect to receive the warmest welcome every time we show up there, which was not the case this year.

Love the service and food!

I can t rave enough about Le Sam. The food was excellent. The service was slow but extremely well taken care of. Ambiance AMAZING. I would recommend the French onion soup and the cheese board! If you re in Quebec City this is a must

Wonderful.

Absolutely amazing time, excellent views, and excellent services.

The overall experience was great! Our server made it so much better! Annie is amazing, she made sure that we enjoyed everything!!!

My experience was awesome. The waitress Annie was the best, making suggestions and making sure I enjoyed everything.

Very nice place with a beautiful view of the river! We stopped there for a bite to eat, the soup was exquisite Impeccable service Kid-friendliness: Childrens menu available

Take the trouble to reserve a table near the windows, the view is incredible. Good value for money for a meal in the castle.

Always interesting experience Outstanding service, variable welcome, lack of diligence On the last visit, the price was not up to par (filet mignon); ordinary. Rating of 4.4 fair.

Excellent meal at the San Bistro du Château Frontenac.

Great food in stylish setting. This bar is a great break from the cold Quebec winters. While expensive, the atmosphere and food merit the cost.

Stopped in for lunch without a reservation and we were seated close to the window but not at the window. Still had a marvelous view but make a reservation if you want the very best seats. Our waitress was adorable & friendly. We had blueberry tea that was to die for (black tea poured over over amaretto and grand mariner). Excellent lobster cake, salads and duck wings. Would highly recommend!

The best restaurant we had during our stay in Canada. Not to mention the beauty of the Château de Frontenac, magnificently decorated for Christmas... the food was delicious and the service impeccable and attentive. Everything was perfect from starter to dessert, we really regretted not having spent a night at the castle. Option for vegetarians available. I highly recommend it.

Had lunch here and although the server was very kind, the food was so bad we had to send back 2 plates. The salmon tartar tasted like it had been defrosted or sitting in the fridge for a long time, it was also unseasoned and the fried rice paper cracker it was served with was stale. The burrata plate was more like a really dense, dry and flavourless mozarella which was served with not much else on the plate. Although the soup of the day was good, it was served with no evidence of effort (a big bowl with no plate underneath, no bread, no cream/olive oil/herbs or anything to make it look nice, and the spoon just straight on the table). I have been here a few times in the past and the food was decent, but this time I was really unimpressed. The waiter was really nice and the manager did come over to check on us which is good, but unfortunately the main reason one goes to the restaurant is for good food and this just wasn t it!

Delicious food and the atmosphere (in the Frontenac) is amazing! Excellent service!

Beautiful and good bistro Prices similar to other restaurants in old Quebec but better than the rest. To taste one of the best poutine in QC (braised pork cheek poutine) ps it seems small but it is more than enough for The tartare was very good.

Very nice place to come and eat. The service is impeccable. The dishes are excellent. I ate the best poutine of my life here!

Good spot for a drink and food before taking the train ! Waitress was constant and fun. Wanted to go to Bar 1608 right next door but was full, was happily surprised with this spot. Birds and the bees cocktail was amazing.

Decided to eat at this restaurant in our hotel after a long day in the city. Really didn t know what to expect but it turned out to be the best meal of our trip! Amazing food and service. The French onion soup was the best I ve had anywhere in Quebec or elsewhere.

I went there on May 20, 2023 for my birthday and everything was impeccable! The meal and cocktails were delicious, the waiters were excellent... I was treated to a small birthday cake, a very appreciated touch. I highly recommend and plan to return more often.

It s a must visit restaurant if you re in Quèbec city. Food was so good, thanks to Nathanèl for his great service and friendly approach we totally enjoyed our lunch here. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had an amazing date night on a Friday. Reservations are a must- we saw many turned away. Our server Annie was the perfect mix of friendly and professional. The food is incredible. We had lobster (gaspesian) cake, short ribs and guinea fowl with risotto. The risotto was the best weve ever tasted. No room for desert...the vibe and opulence of the decor make for a complete experience.

I really hate this restraunt. Twice now they have treated me like trash.

Splendid place and the restaurant is like the castle. Certainly, its not the cheapest restaurant in Quebec but its well worth it. To (re)discover, I highly recommend it!

Loved the waiter & sommelier that served us. We asked for a window -side reservation when we booked a month ahead for this, but was overly impressed by the fact that we got the best table & view amongst the options available. We couldnt ask for a better experience Food

Recommended. Excellent food. Amazing service by Louis-Andre, Marc-Antoine and the other staff members. Very cool atmosphere and amazing view. Very expensive. Kid friendly.

I only had an appetizer with a cheese board. The place is very good, the service is very good and the varied cheeses are very delicious. Its zero but its worth the visit.

Magnificent and delicious experience! I will go back there very soon!

Beautiful restaurant and bar. Great food but the host and our waiter were horrible last night. The blonde lady.. at the front loudly apologized to the waiter even though Google said they were open until 12am and it was like 1015. Then the short bald waiter took 20 minutes to take our order. The bus boy was very polite but when it came time for the check, the waiter quite literally let us sit there for 30 minutes after we already had our plates taken away. He was rude too he said I guess you want to pay now after he literally disappeared for a half hour.

Very nice restaurant, with the best customer service and staff. Food was mostly good. The atmosphere is relaxing and charming. Definitely would go back again

Laughably bad service. Ordered drinks which took forever to come. Reminded bartender who blamed server. Server then came by to drop off food and left right away while we were mid-sentence about to ask for something more. Server then brought cheque despite us not asking for it. All this while they werent busy. Stay away.

The food was out of this world, the service amazing, Maya thank you for assigning us a table with a great view appreciated very much!!! Regina

Very nice experiences. The restaurant was full but we were able to get a seat. The restaurant is child-friendly and there is a very good childrens menu. The atmosphere is friendly and the dishes are very good. In short, I will return without problem Kid-friendliness: Childrens menu

We started our self guide walking tour of Quebec city in Château Frontenac and had our lunch at Bistro Le Sam! We made a reservation couple of hours ahead and they greeted us warmly with our table with a view! This place is beautiful with great atmosphere. Staff were super friendly and dedicated. Everything we ordered was great! Three of us are vegetarian and we had great options! I ordered onion soup (big portion, totally shareable) and Feuilleté Chèvre and they tasted awesome!

Exceptional service like every time I go there. Thank you so much for giving us great experiences and offering us quality service!

Great food, service and atmosphere. Reservations are needed well in advance for weekends and over a month ahead for a window table.

We had such a fantastic experience today! We are a difficult group to please with serious gluten, dairy AND egg allergies in our family but our server Annick took such great care of us. She made sure we had something special, delicious, and safe for us to enjoy. We were so impressed with the level of service she provided. Thanks for a memorable afternoon Annick!

Excellent welcome Very professional and friendly staff Refined and perfect desserts! Dont hesitate to walk through the door

We were about to be seated and the hostess stopped our lady for a ten minute chat. We found it very rude. They could of had the conversation after we were seated. Bar tenders were nice.

Great dinner. The seafood cassorole, French dip, spinach goat cheese puff, and creme brûlée were all 5 star. The lamb dish was a bit small for 50 CAD other than that we loved the atmosphere, service and food sand the view. They even got out a ramp so my 95 year old grandpa could sit on the terrace. Well done!

I came here after seeing it on Naver blog, and the servers smiled and seemed to kindly guide me, but they discriminated against me^^ We visited at 3pm when it wasnt very crowded and asked for a window seat, but the white people who came in right behind us were shown to the window seat and we were shown to a corner seat, saying that the reservation was full. The view is good and the meal is okay. I think it would be better if you make a reservation when you come.

Very busy restaurant inside Fairmont hotel. Lots of tourists there on Tuesday lunch. Sitting at the bar is the best with super friendly bartenders. French onion soup was amazing.

While this place is a ritual to observe the autumn panorama and the liners sailing, we reserved a table more than three weeks in advance and at 5:00 p.m., since there were no other choices. time, and specify on the glass side. Unfortunately, there is no way to have a table adjacent to the window, only a table on the brick wall side. Despite the aforementioned arguments, we are told that these tables are for VIP people or for those who have reserved at least one month in advance. Oh really!!! Disappointing welcome.

After having a small clash during a first reservation, Thomas W took charge of our dissatisfaction and immediately rectified the situation during a second reservation, responsiveness and professionalism thank you Thomas

Very nice taste and visual experience with one of the best tables in the glass roof...I recommend the seafood casserole accompanied by a glass of Sancerre! Very good, courteous and professional service To try urgently Parking: Valet on site

Bistro Le Sam is much more about the riverfront views and posh decor than the actual taste of the food. Only around half of the tables have views; you ll want a reservation to secure those. The seafood casserole was great. Everything else was middling at best. I still recommend it for the views, but if you can t get a table with a view then I don t think it s worth it.

Even though it is a restaurant in a hotel, it is reasonably priced and delicious. You should go a little early for meals. The wait is long~

The staff were great, seating us with no reservation on Thanksgiving Sunday, and delivering excellent service throughout dinner. Amongst our group we had the large charcuterie platter, rabbit terrine was fabulous,along with the other smoked/ cured meats not enough bread, but extra was quickly brought over once we ran out. The duck confit drum sticks were amazing, juicy and tasty. Main course Seafood Casserole was excellent and contained way more lobster than I would have expected, based on the menu description. The only dish that didn t live up to a 5 star rating was the Dark Beer glazed short rib. Decently cooked but no flavour and on the dry side. We also had pink sangria to celebrate the last warm day of summer/fall unlike some weak versions of Sangria Sam s bartenders mix it at high strength. A lovely experience, definitely worth repeating .

Our favorite restaurant in Quebec! Outstanding service and excellent food. This was our third visit and certainly not our last. The view of the river is breathtaking. I ate the beef tartare; excellent. My husband ate the smoked meat. A little delight!!

Love the service here. My waitress is amazing & all the staff is super nice. Food is great. But we came for the reputation of the hotel and also the great view plus my mom & best friend are the fans of Korean Drama goblins -- . Everything is great.

Friendly and very attentive service. My dishes were very generous and succulent (Waldorf salad and Cassolette), unlike some chosen by my friends. Some dishes are too expensive compared to the size of the portion (Scallops and blood sausage, Cod). The price of cocktails is very expensive. Parking: Don t forget to tip the valet.

Nous y sommes aller en groupe. Le repas était fantastique. Un potage de courge comme entré qui était merveilleux, la joue de boeuf comme plat principal qui était fondante et le gâteau mousse comme dessert qui était juste merveilleux. Le service était simple, mais très efficace. Et lambiance est incroyable avec une vue magnifique. Je recommande à 100%

A more casual dining option. The art deco styling is beautiful, but the seating choices lead to an awkward dining experience for me. Food was excellent, compliments to the chef. My service experience was not great.

Très déçu! Javais lhabitude dy aller et jétais satisfaite, mais pas cette fois-ci. Jai réservé pour la fête de mon conjoint (jai bien spécifié lors de la réservation) et nous avons eu la pire table, malgré que jai demandé une autre table. La qualité de nourriture nétait pas à la hauteur. Je nirai plus et je ne recommanderai plus cette place.

Absolutely amazing resteraunt! Located inside our hotel, its reasonably priced for what you get. Expect amazing dishes. The duck wings were amazing with a great bourban glaze, and the shirt rib was so tender no knife was needed.. Truely melt on your mouth. The French soup is also stupendous and authentic. For a dinner with two expect to pay about $250 CAD for a meal, but in such a fine dining resteraunt reasably priced.

Although ask the restaurants are wonderful, this is probably the best IMHO in Chateau Frontenac. It has a spectacular view of the St Lawrence River, and the food is delicious, yet it wont break your wallet.

Great view of the river, attentive service, and tasty well-presented food. The servings are very generous, and all items we had were satisfactory. Overall, a good dining experience. My husband and I ordered 6 oysters, a bowl of French Onion soup, a 3-cheese plate for appetizers, and we were full before the entrées. One entrée wouldve been enough. The soup couldve been hotter, but it was tasty. The 3-cheese plate and the cheese puff with grilled veggies were my favorites. The seafood casserle was propbably overpriced. Oysters were fresh. The wines - a Barolo and a Pino noir - were also solid. Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian options!

Loved the food and the atmosphere!

30/100 This place is almost a waste of time. Nothing works, neither the food, nor the service, and the place is way too warm, borderline uncomfortable. Le Sam surfs on the notoriety of the Frontenac hotel, but is not on its level. However, the seafood casserole is one of the best we have ever tried So bottom line, go to Le Sam, take the seafood casserole to go, and enjoy it somewhere else

Amazing food! Especially the duck drumsticks. The oysters were probably the freshest we had ever seen. The kids menu was extremely good, the chicken breast was so juicy. It was pretty busy when we were there but the service was not too bad.

Exceptional experience at Bistrot le Sam during our Christmas party! The perfect view, impeccable service and cuisine that lives up to perfection. An ideal choice for celebrating the holidays. 100% recommended!

Best meal in Quebec. Food & service are super good. At very affordable prices and nice meal compare to other high end restaurants

We came in for cocktails and we re so pleased with both the drinks and the service. Music isn t loud so it s a nice spot to catch up with friends

Food was excellent but they tell you that half the tables are reserved (when they obviously arent) and severely limit your choice of seating - no view, which is the predominant reason to visit. Didnt think it was worth the money

3.5 really. Food was alright. Cocktails were a disgrace, one was way too weak, and the other overly sour. Service was friendly and attentive.

Very beautiful place to discover inside Château Frontenac! Magnificent view of the river through the glass roof. Excellent dishes with impeccable table service.

We had been waiting for years to eat at Bistro Le Sam. Although the service was great the food not so much. My wife had the Burrata which was not as described Cherry tomatoes still had stems on them and they were not candied, Cucumbers not grilled, as well as just a tasteless dish. Fish and chips was good but with childs portion of fish. All in all the food ruined it for us. The service staff could teach the kitchen staff something about professionalis. We will provide details in future blogs as we tour Canada and France.
