A total failure in both hospitality and culinary execution. My disappointment isn't even just about the price—this level of service and food would be unacceptable for a $30 meal, let alone at a place charging $100+ per person.The Service: The server’s attitude was unprofessional and condescending. After half-heartedly preparing the salad and beef tartare tableside, he simply vanished for five minutes without explanation. When we honestly shared that the food was just "okay," he dismissively replied, "Well, at least it’s not bad," and walked away. This level of arrogance is stunning for a supposedly high-end establishment.The Food: It was a series of technical failures that felt like they were cutting corners:• Caesar Salad: Purely performative. The dressing used low-quality, pre-made mustard rather than being freshly prepared. It lacked any depth or freshness.• Beef Tartare: The meat was mushy and poorly seasoned.• Beef Wellington: A disaster. The pastry was completely soggy and collapsed, showing a total lack of basic kitchen execution.Verdict: This place is the definition of a tourist trap (or: a place that relies on reputation but fails to deliver). It’s a waste of both time and money. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually respects its guests and its craft.

Underwhelming dining experience. Many dishes felt off-balanced or straight-up tasting bad. The ingredient quality was also disappointing, the beef, for example, was mushy rather than tender.

We went here for a special occasion on our yearly trip to Quebec City for Winter Carnaval. Absolutely amazing food, probably the best caesar salad I have ever eaten. My peppercorn sirloin was cooked expertly by Andrea tableside. Would definitely return!

This was the most pleasant meal I have ever had. Our server and chef, Alberto, was excellent—funny, engaging, and masterful at preparing what was easily the best tableside meal I’ve ever experienced. Restaurant Le Continental should truly be a “must visit.” While the meal was pricey, it was absolutely worth it. I will always pay for quality, and this restaurant did not disappoint. My wife and I have used the crème brûlée at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac as our dessert benchmark since we were dating 23 years ago. That longtime favorite has now moved to second place after Alberto’s Crêpes Suzette—simply amazing. The entire meal, including dessert, was prepared tableside, which made the experience even more special and memorable. Very, very well done.

Hands-down the best fine dining in Quebec City! Table-side preparations of Ceasar Salad and duck l’orange was spectacular to watch and even better to eat—delicious! Hats-off to Michel—our very professional, polite, friendly, attentive and amazing server —as well as all the staff of the Continental! They made it a very special and memorable Valentine’s Day dinner with dear friends. Can’t wait to return!

Sat at the bar and got exceptionally quick service, with all attention to us as if we were ordering dinner rather than just popping in for cocktails. We had cocktails from the special Valentines Day menu, which were very good!

It's kind of like French hibachi. You're going for the show, more than the food being some stellar blow your mind experience. The food is great, but the show is the point.

Looking forward to the next time we travel up to Quebec City for another great meal! Thank you!!

Great experience and would certainly go back. We got salmon and beef filet. Both were delicious. Cherry jubilee for dessert. From moment you walk in the place smells like delicious food. Our waiter was a professional waiter who cooked my filet perfectly. If you are near by worth the visit

My steak was a tough as boot leather but it was a decent experience. I would not be rushing to go back though. Our server was a bit of a dud as well. He was nice but rushed as along at every turn. Telling me to please pay the cheque as he was going off shift. I would not recommend to anyone that’s wants a great experience!!!

Went here recently. The street is magical. Walking in you get the feel of stepping into old school charm of a French restaurant complete with white blazers, warm wood, and tableside carts. We were greeted after seating and offered congratulations on our anniversary. Asked how would you like 2 glasses of champagne. Nice touch. Ordered our meal and while on the pricier side for Quebec/Montreal, it was in line with Vancouver(pricey). Ordered: fois gras on toasted brioche appy/wellington/rack of lamb/mashed potatos/crepes suzette. Thoughts: flavour wise - not the greatest. Wellington stated with seared fois gras but if it was meant to be on the top it didnt come, and if it was smeared inside the wellington it didnt taste like it was there. No biggie though but the pastry was generally flakey. Lamb lacked seasoning. But the sauce made up for it. Generally pretty good. Mashed potatoes - overly sweet. Lacked body, no richness from butter or cream. Took one bite n asked it to be returned as it was way too sweet. Asked if I wanted to order the dauphine instead but opted against that given the mashed potatoes. The response to this was a dismissive "well, so you dont like it!" Dessert: crepes suzette made tableside. This was pretty tasty. No complaints but my mistake was not asking if the ice cream came with it or if there was an additional charge. ---- Overall, the price did not justify the price. There are better tasting places around for the same food. I found some elements of tourist trap a bit unsavory. The champagne that we were asked if we wanted after the congratulatory message did not come on the house. It was $35/flute. The returned mashed potatoes while only being $5 was not removed from the bill. Now, on a $400 bill, $5 wont move the needle anywhere but it speaks to the the character of the place. Would we return? No. Do we recommend: if only to see the place and the history. So have a glass of wine and an appy. Not the full meal.

As classic as it can get, in a good way. Everything was outstanding. Came in early January, cold outside and a bit fresh inside, dress warm.

I made a reservation to eat here as, honestly, there weren't many reservations left the weekend before Christmas and I managed to grab this one. Absolutely outstanding. It felt very old school, but in a good way! They opened the door to my Uber, which was so unexpected, and we were greeted at the door by the maitre d', as well as 3 or 4 waitstaff. Someone offered to take our coats and then we were seated. They will cook some of their offerings tableside. A proposal took place while we were there and was announced by the maitre d' after she accepted, with the whole restaurant celebrating the engagement. Everyone was super attentive and great at clearing the table or refilling waters without being disruptive. Our food was, I'm told, outstanding. Unfortunately, I had a cold and couldn't taste anything. Ugh, so frustrating. But my steak was tender and my family said everything (including my meal) was delicious! I would love to go back and order the same thing and actually taste it this time!!!

We had an early dinner here and what a memorable experience. Service was perfect, attentive, efficient and friendly. The carpaccio was excellent. The filet cooked at the table was perfect and seasoning one of the best ever. My wife's sole de dourve was the best she's had and orders it anywhere they serve it. Le Continental is a treasure and one we will always visit when in Quebec City.
