    This classic a must see for taking you back in time. The most attentive tableside service worldwide. Phenomenal food and very reasonable prices given all of the above. You almost don't expect the food to be that good but we would go back even if the US dollar were not so strong vs the Canadian dollar. Welcoming to all but please don't go with a sweatshirt...they will still serve you but I will give you that look....

    Our best meal ever in Quebec City. And the most expensive, as we knew going in. Worth every penny! Starting with the lovely (and amazingly inexpensive) Maple Turnip Soup, continuing with Gaspe Crab Hollandaise and Foie Gras Torchon and moving on to the Raviolo with Sweetbreads and the Sweetbreads with Morels. We then shared a slice of Tarte au Sucre d'Erable (maple sugar pie). We made these (wonderful choices) knowing that the specialties of the house are the tableside flaming steak preparations. But we had absolutely no regrets. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and we had a lovely, romantic evening. Highly recommended!

    This was a phenomenal meal and great service. The table side preparation is something I have not done before and we enjoyed it a lot. The Caesar salad is a must, and the table side filet was great. Andrea our server did a fantastic job along with everyone assisting him.

    We have celebrated our wedding anniversary at Le Continental for at least the last decade and a half. Since discovering this extraordinary restaurant in Old Québec it has stolen our hearts. We have traveled and eaten at many fine restaurants. Many are pretentious and succumb to the pressure of competition and others embrace their success and provide the intimate atmosphere and fine dining that makes a special night out special. The calm experienced waiters of Le Continental are the rare breed that show no sign of pressure as they prepare table side the finest of meals. Many of the staff have decades of experience at this restaurant. I would rate this experience as the finest one could imagine. There has never been the slightest flaw in any visit that we have have experienced there. Truly something to look forward to year after year.

    The evening was wonderful. Food was delicious and the service outstanding. We had the table side prepared Caesar salad to start with. It was old school perfect. We then had the chateaubriand for two. It was cooked just right and tender enough to cut with a fork. We were going to have the flaming pear dessert but we were to full. A great evening.

    Not worth the money. The table next to use was so needy the waiter spent most of the night dealing with them. Dirty dishes stayed on table way too long, drinks stayed empty. I won’t return. Ok for a one time visit to see the table side service but other then that no

    Dining here is like going back in time. The servers all wear tuxedos, cooking is done at your table on many of the dishes, and the atmosphere feels like you are eating in a top European restaurant. Of course, the prices are high, but so is the quality of the food and the service. I had a NY strip steak cooked tableside, which was delicious. There was no fat on it and it was cooked perfectly. My wife had the Dover sole, which was also excellent. We were not rushed and were treated well by the staff, all whom seemed to work here for many years! We actually spent three hours at dinner, then we took a walk on the boardwalk on a beautiful Quebec evening. If you want a great dinner in old Quebec, do not miss Le Continental.

    My only complaint really is that it was awhile from when we ordered until we got our appetizer. The chateaubriand prepared tableside was artfully presented and had great sides. But the taste of the meat & sauce wasn’t exciting. I guess I’m comparing it to the taste of ribeye which I love. The pan seared fois gras starter was out of this world and the crepes suzette (also prepared tableside) were the best I’ve ever had. If I were to go again I would just order a double portion of the fois gras, a caesar salad, and the crepes suzette. Great atmosphere, especially with all the flambé dishes being made around us.

    A Culinary Gem Recommended by Our Tour Guide! I had the pleasure of dining at La Continental in Quebec, thanks to a recommendation from our knowledgeable tour guide. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. First and foremost, the food was absolutely amazing. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Flambé steaks, which were not only delicious but also a captivating spectacle as they were expertly prepared right in front of us. The flavors were simply divine, and it’s an absolute must-try when you visit this restaurant. But it wasn’t just the food that left a lasting impression. The service at La Continental was equally outstanding. Throughout the entire evening, a team of attentive staff members made us feel incredibly welcome and well-cared for. They went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was flawless, adding a touch of warmth and hospitality that truly enhanced the evening. In conclusion, La Continental is a hidden culinary gem in Quebec, and I can’t thank our tour guide enough for pointing us in its direction. Whether you’re looking for exceptional food or top-notch service, this restaurant delivers on both fronts. Don’t miss the Flambé steaks – they’re a culinary masterpiece that you won’t soon forget!

    Nice place for special occasion. We were celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary (which I had mention on reservation but never mentioned to us), we had soup, escargot, veal, salmon and crepe suzette (not good, very soggy) drinks and wine and our bill was over $400USD with tip.
