Le Saint Amour restaurant in Quebec City seems to have it all. An award - winning chef, a superior wine list, a romantic dining room and an ever changing impossibly contemporary pairing of new flavors with traditional Quebec favorites, particularly evident in the soups and starter items.
Fois gras is the house specialty, but some would argue the grilled caribou steak takes 1st place. For something more adventurous, order the local grain-fed veal filet mignon served with shitake mushrooms sautéed with Italian beans and served with swiss chard - parsnip pureed with fig vinegar juice.

The starter, a local fresh vegetable cream soup is enhanced by aged balsamic vinegar and young rabbit confit. Chef Frederic Boulay's skill at employing a complex range of complimentary flavors are particularly evident in his starter dishes where savory (the creamed vegetables) turns to sweet (the aged balsamic vinegar). The second course might be an avocado mousse and cucumber carpaccio topped with salmon tartare and snow crab. The main could be Halibut roasted with seared green asparagus served over an orange infused saffron polenta.
