Région Québec - Cap-Rouge Canada

Two senior sisters visited CONTI the recommendation from a friend. We had made a reservation prior to arriving. We both enjoyed our meals. I had the beef bourguignon and it was delicious. The serving was huge and I wasn’t able to finish it all. We both would recommend this restaurant. We both ate for under $100 with dinner and wine. There are two different restaurants in one at this location. The one beside where we ate looked very fancy, with waiters in white tuxedos and bow ties.

My wife and I visited for dinner on a rainy and quiet Sunday evening. We had reservations but I don't think it mattered. The restaurant was connected to it's older brother and much more expensive, Continental. I mean much much more expensive. The restaurant was located within the walls of upper town and a short walk from most of the hotels in that area. We were happy to provide our winter coats with the coat check person who serviced both restaurants. My wife and I began with dinner salads that had a tasty balsamic dressing. I ordered the penne pasta with tomatoes and basil. I added an order of meatballs with my pasta. My wife ordered the salmon with saffron rice and vegetables. I was very pleased with my al dente cooked penne. A generous portion served with three small sized meatballs. My wife enjoyed her salmon which had a mustard and honey dressing. No room for dessert. The service was excellent and friendly with no language barriers. The prices were reasonable and overall it was an excellent experience.

We are from California and have found the food in Canada (Montreal Quebec) to be on the bland side. My veal medallions were nicely cooked with a mushroom sauce, but not much flavor. In contrast, my SO's beef bourguignon was excellent. Wine list was good with some nice values.

We were looking for Italian food, and the Concierge at our Hotel recommended this place. It's important to note that you must make reservations for dinner, otherwise you will probably not get in. We found the food to be very good, but we were disappointed in the service we received. Our waiter walked past us several times without looking in our direction or asking if we needed anything. However, it appeared that he had too many tables to tend to there should have been more wait staff.

Lovely and welcoming restaurant with delicious and beautifully plated food. Pricey but worth it. Service outstanding. Definitely recommend.
