We ordered the risotto of the day (pesto and scallops) and the 10 ounce steak with pepper sauce. Both were excellent; the risotto was perfectly cooked and the scallops were seared nicely...the steak was a proper 10 ounces, and the sauce was very good. We went early (6pm) as the restaurants are full after that. While we had a few different servers the team didn't miss a beat. It's located close to the promenade which is needed afterwards. Fully priced for sure, but well worth it.

Philip, the waiter, was very accommodating, and we were able to order off the menu. I had heard a lot about foie gras in Quebec and was wanting to try it. He was able to acquire it from Le Continental next door, with which they are affiliated. It was one of the highlights of our trip to old Quebec city. The other accompaniments and wine pairings were exceptional! I would love to go back here again!

The maple turnip soup was exceptional, and the strawberry shortcake is a must-try!

We had mains, desserts and a few drinks. Everything was very tasty with sensible portions and well presented. Service was very friendly and efficient. Our bill including taxes and 18% service was CAN$280 so more than .

Gluten free clearly marked on menu which is a plus. I had the veal medallions. Terrible. The potatoes were dry as paper, veal was chewy, mushroom gravy was average. Overall not tasty. The small serving of carrots on the side was the highlight of the dish.

I had a turnip soup and ribs with fries. It was delicious. Bonus, they served a warm bun in a sealed bag. I will be back for sure.

The food almost looked too good to eat. Followed by creme brûlée. All and all a good meal. Great white zinfandel as well

I ate the prix fix starting with the gnocchi that was slightly fried which I loved the texture. I also had the minestrone soup. Not a big bowl but just enough. Made different than my Italian mother in laws but was very tasty. One night I had the beef bourguignon with noodles that was ok. I'm honestly not a huge fan of it but I thought I would try it. The other night I had a filet mignon that was cooked to perfection and tasty. Also 1 night I got a pastry tart with blueberries and was definitely fresh as was the canoli I got the other night. I live in Charleston and the food there is really expensive. These meals were very reasonably priced and of course with the strength of the dollar were bargains in my opinion. I highly recommend this restaurant as le Continental next door that is owned by the same person. We have been to Quebec 10 times and eaten at many of the places there. It kind of comes down to what type of food you are in the mood for because most every place we have eaten was not disappointing.

I’ll take a moment to call out that not every restaurant would have taken the care Conti did to make sure my daughter had as much fun on our night out as the grownups did. I almost hesitate to write this because clearly Conti is a cool place to go out for a night on the town, but our waiter made sure she had what she needed and was included in the evening. Thank you!

It was so good with decent portions we went back the following night.

I had veal cannelloni and my husband had a risotto special, both of which were delicious. Service was efficient but unhurried. The tables are well-spaced, which allowed for conversation, which is not always to case in busy Quebec restaurants. While Conti Cafe is not cheap, we felt it was a good value for the quality of food and wine served and we would visit again.
