This was our 3rd dinning experience this year! First trip to Quebec in May and again in September. Food was excellent with impeccable service. Loved the table side flambé options presented by their experienced servers. We’ve tried beef and seafood flambé at table; all delicious! Even the desserts are delicious. My favorite dessert was the pears and the crepe Suzette! Definitely recommend this restaurant! Today we went for dinner at Le continental and we were extremely happy with the quantity, and most importantly with the quality of the food. From the moment we entered everyone was extremely friendly and thanked us for choosing Le continental. Actually we want to thank them for the amazing food experience they offered us today. We wanted a different salad to the one they had on the menu, and they went out of their way to make a different salad for us. The duck a l'orange Flambé for 2 was exceptional. The Quebec cheese platter included three types of local cheese which we never tried before but enjoyed the flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is a fan of the French cuisine. We had a wonderful experience visiting Le Continental for our first time. We did not know exactly what to expect - - and we were so pleasantly surprised by an awesome evening. Our waiter, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and helped us make incredible choices for our meal. He was both entertaining and efficient in cooking our meal. Definitely one of the best Caesar salads I have ever had in my life! And our Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be recommending this restaurant to any of our U.S. friends if they plan to head to Quebec.

We celebrated our wedding dinner at Le Continental and were fortunate enough to have Nicolas for our server! He was fun, funny, helpful, and had just the right amount of spice to keep us on our toes! We enjoyed the Gaspé Crab with Hollandaise Sauce and Flambé Shrimp Whiskey for our appetizers and then shared the Châteaubriand. My husband enjoyed the mushroom sauce but as I don’t like mushrooms, Nicolas suggested a Béarnaise sauce for me, which was beyond perfection! Then we had Crêpes Suzette for dessert! Everything was beyond delicious and Nicolas did a phenomenal job cooking everything for us right at our table! The two things that stood out most amongst all the deliciousness were the Gaspé Crab and the Châteaubriand! We are already planning our anniversary to go back to Canada/Quebec City and reliving this dinner experience!

Great food, great atmosphere and great service! The Caesar salad was super tasty! We ordered the Châteaubriand which was well worth the price tag. We finished up with a Brazilian coffee. Highly recommend going and trying one of their flame specialty meals. The waiters are also the cooks and the bartender and put on a great performance
