Le Clan – Chef Stéphane Modat
“Stéphane Modat’s restaurant offers a unique culinary experience — both modern and deeply rooted in Nordic traditions. In an intimate, elegant setting filled with playful touches, this southern-born chef showcases refined cuisine built around local ingredients, often sourced from hunting, fishing, and foraging. When you enter Le Clan, you walk right through the kitchen and can admire the chef and his brigade at work.”
Le Saint-Amour – Chef Jean-Luc Boulay
“I have a great deal of respect for Chef Boulay, who has always succeeded in serving delicious dishes no matter the establishment — I believe there are about half a dozen in Québec City — where they’re prepared. The food is excellent, the staff feels like a close-knit family, and each place is uniquely designed, original, and welcoming.”
La Tanière³
“In 2025, this is perhaps the most talked-about restaurant in Québec. Of course, it’s due to the impeccable cuisine, but also because it offers a true ‘experience.’ The setting itself is striking, and when the plates arrive, you’re genuinely amazed by the beauty, finesse, and flavors. It’s one of my absolute favorite places in Québec City.”
Le Continental
“Located in the heart of Old Québec, Le Continental has been a gastronomic institution since 1956. Housed in a historic 1845 building, this restaurant offers a unique dining experience with tableside service — classic dishes like filet mignon and crêpes Suzette are prepared and flambéed right in front of guests. Its elegant atmosphere, attentive service, and refined French cuisine make it a beloved destination for fans of culinary tradition. And frankly, on our side of the Atlantic, running a top-tier restaurant for this long deserves special recognition. So I recognize it — with applause.”
