Housed in a Victorian mansion close to the Chateau Frontenac in Old Quebec, Le Continental has been serving expertly prepared Italian and French cuisine since 1956. The dining room is elegant and the food spectacular, with mouth watering delicacies such as Duck Foie Gras, or Seared Scallops as appetizers, Noisettes of Veal Wrapped with Prosciutto and Reblochon Cheese, or Heart of Fillet Mignon with Chanterelles as a main course, plus a decadent dessert menu. A true food lovers delight in Vieux Quebec.

Some forty odd years ago I often visited Quebec City on business and Le Continental fast became my favourite stop. We re-visited Quebec and Le Continenatal with friends a couple of years ago. When I made our reservation with the maitre d’hotel I mentioned my fond memories. They did not disappoint me. In fact, the food, ambience and service far exceeded my high expectations.
As much as I love Quebec City, a visit to Le Continenal is an added bonus which would justify the trip even to a less desirable location. Don’t miss it, et pour mes amis chez Le Continental, merci beaucoup.
