“After four enjoyable visits in recent years, I feel the need to emphasize the extent to which it is an essential address for Quebec gastronomy.Both the service, the decor and the dishes are impeccable. The staff is passionate about their products and fascinating in their explanations, while trying to adapt to the tastes and knowledge of the customers. They don't hesitate to let us taste their bottles to help us make our choices; we find what we're looking for even if we have difficulty differentiating between regions, grape varieties and winemaking techniques and our oenological lexicon is limited to "I like that" and "I don't like that".The glass service and small plates to share allow you to travel through a wide range of flavors. The freshness and depth of the dishes highlight local ingredients with unsuspected virtues.Apart from the bill which can add up quickly, especially with a slight elbow (you have to remember that you are paying for a trip, not for a dinner), the burden on us is to choose from the dishes offered. But don't hesitate too much: be confident that everything will be delicious.In short, congratulations for the hydne with parsley cream and dill... and everything else.“
“Une des meilleures expériences que j'ai vécue. 1 menu dégustation classique et 1 végétarien avec 1 accord mets et vin. Le menu végétarien était original et goûteux, j'étais agréablement surprise, car bien souvent déçue des menus végétariens. Service impeccable. J'y retournerai assurément❤“
“The staff , from the greeter outside , to the bartender, to the waitress, to the bus staff, were helpful, hospitable, honest, and gregarious. From where and how to park to translations if needed, the staff was courteous and consistently kind. The food was well prepared, well presented, well served, and deliciously eaten. Thank you for a lovely meal!!!!“
“Un expérience incroyable! L’ambiance parfaite pour nous remettre dans nos racines québécoise :) le service était rapide et fait avec le sourire! La nourriture nous avons mangé l’assiette de la cabane si je ne me trompe pas de nom et woooow! Tout tout était bon !!!! Nous allons revenir assurer:)“
“Je me suis régalé ce soir avec votre filet mignon et le sorbet bleuet/sirop d'érable. J'apprécie tout particulièrement que la cuisine mette de l'avant des produits québécois. Je recommanderais votre restaurant sans hésiter ! :)“
“The food is wonderful. You must try the duck wings, soy style. They were outstanding and we could have eaten them all day. The onion soup, elk stew, and chicken burger were all very good. Pub food and atmosphere (a little dark and dingy), but very friendly. Music is a bit too loud. I recommend reservations.“
“Visited Québec City for the first time last weekend and had a quick lunch here with some friends. Tried the Québec staple pâté chinois. The dish was delicious and the lady serving us was very sweet and let me practice my French without switching to English on me. Merci beaucoup!“
“Amazing restaurent. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Absolutely loved this place. Took the braised beef, was delicious. We also tried the smoked meat sandwich, cold-cut pizza, burger, onion soup and escargots… all amazing! Must try if you are in quebec city!“

“un petit souper fondu fromage de Charlevoix excellente et ma convive a choisi la soupe du jour et le tartare de truite fumé. le service est plus qu’excellent et le personnel très sympathique le menu varié est superbe, qualité, quantité et très convivial. merci pour une soirée remarquable.“
“One of the most flavourful meals I’ve ever had, in the most beautiful surroundings imaginable, with the finest and most elegant service: a magnificent meal fit for a king, yet it cost less than eating at the trashy tourist traps just down the street.“
“If you are looking for a dinner that can give you a wide taste of local foods, this is a wonderful choice. We were looking for a place to eat at 4 after missing lunch. The restaurant we were considering was closed until 5, so we continued down the road and found that Aux Anciens Canadiens was not only open but still had the lunch prix fixe prices. It is possible the dinners are larger, but the lunch was more than enough for us. We shared our meals with each other and were able to try pea soup, smoked bison fondue, meat pie, meat ball ragout, and deer, bison and elk tenderloin with a lovely blueberry sauce. For desert, we had maple syrup pie and maple bread pudding.Everything was very good and we felt like we had the perfect culinary review of classic Quebecoise foods. We could have chosen the poutine, but we were concerned that we were not going to make it to desert and since the woman behind us was telling her friend that this place had the best maple syrup pie, we didn't want to risk it.“
“Outstanding! Best dining experience we had in Canada period. Jordan our waiter made us feel at home. He explained menu in detail "Merci for the English." Wife had the porc cooked to perfection. I had the scallops, VERY tasty. Food came out at a great pace. Drinks were stiff, Jordan even brought us a few shots extra just because.Desert... The house special Maple pudding with melted cheddar cheese DON'T SLEEP ON IT! it was insane!! I can't stop thinking about it.Felt like we were having dinner at a friends house and I mean that in the highest of compliments. So good I had to thank the Chef before we left.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover: the food is excellent, the service IMPECCABLE, thanks to the owner for taking a little picture with us. The burgers are very good, and the beaver tail amazing: but we had to be 3 to finish it! Ideal for stopping on the way, not far from the campsite in town.“

Never ran out of coffee even though his section was full.Parking: Parking a little tight since there is a hotel next doorKid-friendliness: Yes.“
“The food is a treat as always! I can confirm that the flavors were there again! For mouths that are not used to original dishes, take a quick look at the menu before you go. However, you should find something that suits you, you just need to talk to your server about it. They have a great knowledge of their dishes and that means they can find something that suits you. Our favorites: beef cheek, pork shoulder, beef carpaccio, dumpling and all their soups. On the child side, our boy loves the atmosphere! There is a small game book for them. There are three menu choices for them. This includes a drink, soup or salad, the main meal and homemade churros. Our son's favorite is the soft polenta crust. The children's menu is very affordable. For alcohol lovers, you will be served. For those who don't like it, there is a selection of 7 mocktails. This allows you to enjoy the festive and trendy atmosphere.P.s: Marie-Claude has a magnificent smile and offers incredible service! ♡“
“Chain of restaurants mainly in Gaspésie and the Maritimes. This establishment is the only one east of Rivière du Loup. Good sized pieces of chicken. Taste identical to those of the Maritimes. In my opinion, this chicken is the benchmark for fried chicken. Exceptionally clean restaurant and welcoming and helpful staff. Reasonable price for fried chicken. Private room for a large group.“
“Amazing experience for 5 of us! This is the first visit for my son’s birthday with Grandparents as well. The servers are all super polite, nice and friendly. Your English is great, amazing and easy to understand! Not like what you said it is not good but you will try. Keep it up!The fries are yummy, the toasts of the sandwiches are so good and crispy! Love the vegan Mac and cheese with mushroom and vegan cheese! My son loves his order chicken taco and he shared his other order of fish taco with his Dad. The virgin mojito I had is great! The draft beer that my son recommended my Dad is amazing, he likes it!The fried chicken is tasty!We had a great night here and we will visit again for sure when we visit Quebec City again!We love the area too! We like the vibe there! Thank you for the service! Wish you all have a great Christmas!Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegan choicesWe are so happy for that!“
“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.“
