I recently dined at a restaurant, and while the food didn't blow my mind, there were a few standout dishes worth mentioning. The scallops appetizer was particularly tasty, and I would definitely recommend trying it. The foie gras was good, although there were several components on the plate that somewhat overshadowed the foie gras itself. Despite this, the dish was still enjoyable. Moving on to the tar tars, the salmon tar tar had a bit of a spicy kick to it, which might not be to everyone's liking. On the other hand, the beef tar tar was good and satisfying. Both tar tars were accompanied by french fries, but personally, I felt that croutons would have sufficed instead. Furthermore, the beef dish I had contained non-chewing veins, which was disappointing. Additionally, the french fries were overcooked and lacked sufficient salt. While the food had its ups and downs, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, and the service was excellent. However, one letdown was the absence of non-alcoholic beverages on the menu. It would have been nice to have more options in that regard. I recommend this restaurant for dinner, primarily because their menu offers a wide variety of certain dishes that are worth trying. They also boast a good selection of wild meat. Nevertheless, while the dining experience was enjoyable, I must admit that I was not particularly impressed.

My husband and I visited this restaurant twice during our trip to Quebec City. The first time we were welcomed by a waiter who explained to us everything about their brunch menu and ingredients. The second time we came for lunch, it was quite disappointing overall. First of all, the guest seated next to us kept looking at us and listening to our conversation just because we don’t speak French. Second, our waiter only speak French to us knowing our French is not good. He apologized to us and we apologized to him as well because we are still leaning French. The table next to us has nothing to talk about their own lives but to comment on our appearance and us not speaking French. Come on, this is totally disrespectful. So i started to say people should focus on their life instead of judging others, the guy on the other table used French telling his family: this girl is complaining about us who is from Quebec. I am not complaining, I am just suggesting we all should respect other people. Ear dropping is never a good manner. I know French is beautiful to speak and we are learning. What’s wrong with speaking English if we haven’t learned French that well? I don’t see any problem from us because we are polite and tried to communicate with the waiter. Our meat is half raw half cooked. I will not come again in the future knowing the service and the environment I got today. Thank you for serving us.

My wife and I are visiting Vieux-Québec for the first time and wanted to experience the terroir with a truly local Québécois meal. I could not imagine a better way to do that than to enjoy a meal at Restaurant Sagamité. The restaurant was created by members of the Huron-Wendat Nation and provides a taste of indigenous Canadian (First Nations) culture. The restaurant space and decor, the front of house service, and the food and drinks are all impeccable. Our meal was hosted by a very knowledgeable local Québécois who provided interesting information about the restaurant, the food, the wines and Québec itself. As tourists, we enjoy nothing more than experiencing the terroir of the places we visit. He really made that happen. Merci, Monsieur! We enjoyed the full Yatista meal, which included venison puff pastry, the eponymous Sagamité soup, the potence of three antlers (deer, elk and bison flambé) and maple pie. I’ll post photos of our meal, which was educational, delicious and fun.

My husband, two young children and I had a wonderful dinner here. I was grateful for their children's menu to suit the palates of my picky eaters, while my husband and I decided on enjoying the experience of the Yatista! After getting over the price sticker shock, we sat back and thoroughly enjoyed one of the best meals we've had in a while! The soup and venison pastry was Delicious! The elk and deer were perfectly cooked in this exciting style and I didn't think we'd have room for the sugar pie but somehow it vanished off our plates! Unlike other restaurants in the area, restaurant Sagamité was well worth every penny! I also appreciated the washrooms were easy to access. Thank you for a memorable meal to the gracious staff and team.

Deer and Elk Medallions, Maple Pie

Incredible. The whole dining experience was just amazing. The menu includes a unique variety of specialty dishes, and you are not short for choice (unless you do not eat meat). The starter was possibly the best food I’ve tasted and portion size was perfect. For the main, I had the ravioli and it was exquisite. The portion was pretty big but I was determined to finish it as it was so delicious. Although I was too full for dessert, it looked too good not to try, so I got the maple pie anyway and I’m so glad I did because it was incredible. I tried a Canadian wine which was also lovely. The staff were so friendly, informative and helpful, always with a smile on their face. The restaurant itself contains really lovely representations of indigenous culture along the walls. This restaurant is a must visit.

Absolutely a must in Quebec City. They served some of the most delicious food I've ever had. Most everything was just perfect. The bread was pretty good, and included some bannock (which was very different than the bannock we get on the west coast.) We opted for the menu prix fixe, and the turkey roll starter was amazing, the salad was delightful, and my main course of deer and elk medallions was spectacular. Everything was really sublime. The tartare, soup, and bison that I tried from my partner's dishes were also fantastic. I went wrong in choosing the sugar pie over the sorbet for dessert (I don't like very sweet things), which my partner was grateful for since he ate my portion as well. We never got offered the tea/coffee with dessert, but it honestly wasn't necessary for us as we were both bursting by the time we finished.

A wonderful Indigenous owned restaurant in Quebec City! I came here for dinner with my boyfriend and we had a lovely experience. The atmosphere was great and serving staff were phenomenal. We shared the Sacrifices Yatista, which came with a game puff pastry, soup or salad, the meat, maple pie and coffee and tea. Everything was absolutely delicious but the soup was a personal favourite. The meat was served on a flaming skewer and allowed you to decide how you wanted the meat cooked. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back! They also have a second location on the Wendake lands as well!

Salad Soup Appetizer, Deer and Elk Medallions

Sagamite is not a restaurant. It’s an experience very much enjoyed! The service, decor and ambiance were great. Tried their 3-meat menu (including the sides, appi and dessert) and I’d say the puff pastry was the star of the show. It was delicious and beautifully paired with a sweet/sour berry sauce (tastes closely to sour cherry sauce). The soup was also very good. The main 3-meat dish (the one on fire in the photos) was a show stopper and really good.

Meat Pastry, Side Dish That Came with the Steak, Salad Soup Appetizer, Deer and Elk Medallions, Braised Bison Short Rib

This restaurant is an absolute jewel! The food is expensive but I was looking to try something new and have gastronomic experience and I got more than I hoped for. I strongly recommend the deer and elk. The meat was perfectly grilled, the sauce was delicious and the sides were bursting with flavor. For the price, the table-d'hôte has four courses + bread so you're not going to leave this place still feeling hungry. There wasn't a lot of customers when I ate there which worries be a bit. If you walk by and want to try something new, please give these guys your business. We gotta keep good places like these running!

Do not sleep on the chance to visit this restaurant! My husband and I went for dinner on our honeymoon. We had the smoked bison, cheese appetizer, cheddar broccoli soup, bison tenderloin, walleye, and the maple pie for dessert. This was the best meal we’ve had in Quebec- Including some much more expensive ones in Montreal! The sauces and attention to detail are amazing. Everything had multiple subtle flavors and was cooked perfectly. My husband loved all the beers on offer and I had some great wine.

First time in Quebec City that our steaks were cooked properly, delicious. The three sisters soup was fantastic, I had two bowls! Their Wendake bread was fantastic, a mixture of Corn, cranberry, plum, and sunflower seeds. The tables were large, the chairs were large and comfortable. The area felt welcoming, and we weren't crammed in like sardines.

They include a brownie dessert with a kid meal.

That’s start by saying this place is not cheap. But we had the full blown traditional First Nation yatista meal with venison in puffed pastry appy, 3 sisters soup, maple pie for dessert, and the main course of the trio meats of bison, elk, and deer. The presentation is amazing and all the food was excellent. Get in the traditional attitude before eating. The local native beer was good too. A memorable experience and I do mean we will remember this meal 10 years from now.

Super chic, but always super busy. Reserve for dinner. Presentation, service and food quality was superb. Made the trip worthwhile. Get Le Canard for breakfast (duck confit on a deep-fried, flat bannock, neatly scrambled egg, fried green peppers and onions, with sides of Hollandaise sauce, fruit and homemade cranberry sauce). $$$ but super worth it. I'd definitely go back just for this.

We recently dined at the Sagamite restaurant that left a lasting impression with its exceptional variety of meats. From succulent bison to tender deer, the diverse selection was a carnivore's delight. The chef's artful presentation elevated the experience, making each dish not only a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. The melding of unique flavors and impeccable service made it a memorable culinary adventure. Definitely must try!

It was a great breakfast experience in this restaurant! The food was tasty and the staff really helpful. The waiter speaks english, french and spanish. We really appreciated because my friend didn't speak french. Also, the decoration is really nice, base of the first nations artefacts (cf pictures). They also respect some rituals. We attend a birthday of a client in the restaurant and they sang a song in their language. It was great :)

Absolutely no regrets! Every single dish we got served was delicious! From the entrees with bread to the maple pie dessert. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone!

Wild game meats but I believe they were farm raised so not as gamey as expected. The bison "spare ribs" were fantastic. Pictures are of the totem poles at the front of the restaurant. The maple pie desert is amazing (but super super sweet).

Native American food at its finest. The venison sausage was amazing. Reservations highly recommended even for breakfast so the owner can ensure he has enough staff. Coffee was awesome. Very busy as most of us had no reservations but service was exceptional. The Bannock toast was very yummy.

What an excellent find. We stopped by hungry for a late lunch and had a full 5 course dinner meal. From the starters through to dessert the food was well cooked, beautifully framed, and tasted amazing. We also had fantastic service with friendly conversation and genuine warmth. We will absolutely go again when we are next in the area.

My granddaughter had the filet mignon, it was cooked to perfection, and the peppercorn sauce was delicious. I had the seafood plate, and it was amazing. Then we had dessert. Stunningly mouth watering. We have never had better food. Highly recommend.
