Came here with my partner for quick drinks & bites & ended up not even eating. Service was incredibly slow & the staff were extremely inattentive. We were not even able to get a glass of water even though we asked. After ordering our first drink one of the bartender gave us a check even though we had ordered another round of drinks. Drinks & ambiance are fantastic but when the service is that much of an issue it does not make you want to come back. Disappointing to say the least.

If you're looking for proper mixologists, this is unfortunately not your spot. As much as I would love for it to be a great cocktail & booze spot, it's simply just a disappointing big brand hotel with a photographic vibe & no class. The bartenders have no creativity beyond the menu - perhaps that's by design.

Lovely setting to grab a cocktail in this beautiful historic building. Cosmo was delicious! Service was prompt & bartender takes care to create each cocktail with detail.

What a treat to visit this historic hotel while sipping on one of the most creative cocktail bars in QC. As soon as we were seated at the bar, we were served water & bar snacks. The service was very smooth, & in between watching our bartender make all the beautiful drinks, he took time to jot down other speakeasies around town for us to visit.

Our chosen cocktails, Hemingway's Retreat & Soie, were out of this world. Yes, both drinks were expensive, but rightfully so given the location & the complexity of the drinks. Both drinks were so tasty that we can't wait to return again to try other drinks.

Classic legacy hotel bar experience. We went for a night cap & so, so glad we did. The bartenders are excellent at what they do. We enjoyed gin martinis & some of their creative cocktails. My partner says the oysters are delicious.

What a fantastic bar!! We didn't order food but they have a menu with small bites. Our bartender Jeremy was top notch!! He made the drinks with care. We are guests at the hotel & the vibe was great!!

Nice bar in Chateau Frontenac, just a bit pricey.

We had a drink here for the first time in March 2025 as part of our vacation/anniversary.

They have a menu of signature drinks & plenty of other options to choose from & the bartenders are very skilled & polite.

They offer you potato chips & another mix of crunchy snacks while you wait.

We had a mojito that was pretty good & the drink of the day with rosemary that was set on fire, which was unique & pretty good too.

$55 for 2 drinks, we find to be a bit excessive but overall the space is nice with staff who were very helpful & professional.

Worth a visit for a special occasion drink.

It's the place to see & to be seen when you are in Quebec City. Charming old world bar with very skillful & professional bartenders. A bit pricy but it's the experience you pay for.
