Best Steakhouses in Québec City

For a great steak frites, head to L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean, located right in the heart of Old Québec’s fortified district. This charming Parisian-style bistro offers a comforting menu that hits the spot. The house specialty is the grilled entrecôte served with the famous “secret” mustard sauce, matchstick fries, and a walnut salad. A timeless classic!
 

Opened in 1956, Le Continental remains a Québec City classic. Dining here is a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. In an elegant setting that takes you back in time, waiters in white jackets and bow ties flambé filet mignon, mustard-crusted ribeye, duck à l’orange, or veal medallions with mushrooms right at your table. For dessert, we recommend the crêpe Suzette for two or the flambéed peaches.

If you're planning an evening at Le Diamant or Théâtre Capitole, consider stopping by Beffroi Steak House, the restaurant at Hôtel Palace Royal. The menu features a fine selection of aged meats carefully chosen by Executive Chef Jean-Michel Blouin and his team, all grilled to perfection over maple charcoal. The impressive wine cellar is another highlight. The elegant dining room offers stunning views of Place D’Youville and the Saint-Jean Gate.

Located in the Gare du Palais, Charbon Steakhouse is a must-visit for grill lovers in Québec City. For over 25 years, it has been serving top-quality meats and exotic seafood, all grilled over charcoal, along with a wine cellar sure to impress even the most discerning connoisseurs. Settle into the warm, softly lit dining room for a timeless experience!

Behind its primal name, La Bête reveals a seductive and refined personality. Its opulent décor, inspired by Louis XIV–style salons, invites indulgence. Choose from a dozen cuts of certified AAA Angus or Wagyu beef, aged 35 to 65 days and served with a rich roasted peppercorn sauce, vegetables, and potatoes—or opt for one of the exquisite seafood or fish dishes. La Bête has already won over the inspectors of the renowned MICHELIN Guide, earning a mention—so it’s sure to satisfy your carnivorous cravings too!

For a hearty feast, head to Chez Biceps BBQ in Charlesbourg. In his modest smokehouse, Chef Vincent Chatigny puts a Québec twist on Southern U.S. barbecue classics— tender, juicy brisket, ribs, and smoked fried chicken—with local touches like year-round oreilles de crisse, poutine, and grilled asparagus. Steak lovers will relish the massive one-kilo bone-in rib roast, dry-rubbed with coffee, charcoal-grilled, deboned, flambéed tableside, and topped with a Madeira sauce emulsified with foie gras. For groups, Biceps offers a four-course tasting menu that lets you sample all the house specialties.

This newcomer to Québec City’s dining scene impresses with its exceptional surf-and-turf experience and its festive yet elegant atmosphere. The restaurant features a beautiful terrace and a spacious dining room with private areas, perfect for groups.

Bâton Rouge restaurants are best known for their delicious ribs and nostalgic atmosphere, but they also serve excellent steaks. The menu features several popular cuts of Canada AAA beef, including chimichurri flank steak, classic filet mignon, New York striploin, and a generous prime rib served with au jus. For about twenty dollars more, you can turn your plate into a surf-and-turf by adding a lobster tail. There are two Bâton Rouge locations in Québec City.
