My wife had visited this restaurant over 10 years ago with our daughter. They had been telling me how great it was for years. This summer I joined my wife & daughter for a visit to old Quebec City & Le Petit Chateau. We had the three course fondue. I was in haven. The food was delicious & the service was excellent. Our waitress took very good care of us & we greatly appreciated her kindness.
Nous avons adoré la place le serveur était à c est tout début un peux gêné mais très sympathique la serveuse qui travaillais avec lui était très souriante & aimable la nourriture très bonne on a pris le trio fondu ,pour ma part je trouve que c est servie un peu simpliste avec un restaurant appeller petit château à côté du château, je metterais un peux plus de glamour sur la vaisselle & le visuel des plats servie mais sommes toute ma deuxième visite & j y retournerais dans mes voyages futu

200$, trio fondu (fromage, boeuf & chocolat), la première était bien, les deux autres, vraiment décevantes. On a été très biaisé à sa proximité du Chateau Frontenac. On a regardé un peu autour ce que les gens prennaient, tout avait l'air pas super non plus. Un attrape touriste, soyez à l'affut. Le service était très moyen, mais le propriétaire était acceuillant.
Le Petit Château es, sin exagerar, un auténtico espectáculo culinario. Más que una cena, la experiencia se vive como un ritual gastronómico cuidadosamente orquestado, donde cada platillo invita a disfrutar sin prisas y con todos los sentidos.
Optamos por el fondue de carne, perfectamente ejecutado, con cortes de gran calidad que se sellan a la perfección en la mesa, y por un fondue de queso cremoso, profundo en sabor y absolutamente reconfortante. Iniciamos con una sopa de cebolla sublime, de esas que abrazan el paladar: intensa, equilibrada y con un gratinado impecable.
El cierre fue memorable: un fondue de chocolate sedoso y elegante, seguido de crepas banadas con auténtica miel de maple canadiense, un homenaje perfecto a la tradición local y al placer del postre bien hecho.
En conjunto, Le Petit Château ofrece una experiencia sofisticada, cálida y deliciosa, donde la cocina se convierte en espectáculo y la sobremesa en un lujo. Altamente recomendable para quienes buscan algo verdaderamente especial en Quebec.
I have been with my family during my vacation, & we absolutely loved it. The food was very good, I suggest the blue cheese fondue, & the service was exceptional. If you want a nice experience during your time in Québec city, you won't be disappointed at Le Petit Château!
Don't get sucked in to this place. Very disappointed in this restaurant, especially considering its premium location right next to the renowned Chateau Frontenac. We ordered the Trio fondue - cheese, meat & chocolate. The cheese fondue came & the bread was already stale - ok, no big deal. We quickly finished that course, but then waited ages to have it removed. Finally the 2nd fondue arrived. Broth that was basically French Onion soup stock & thinly sliced beef. It was ok - not amazing but decent. However, once again we had to wait eons for our plates to be cleared & the next fondue course served. After nearly 2 hours there, we still had not received our 3rd course. Our server was all over the place, but not checking in with us. The maitre'd only seemed interested in seating people & keeping an eye on the door - he was evidently the boss but did nothing to expedite service (like serve water or bar drinks). Extremely lazy. . I saw several tables that waited forever for their food orders to be taken, & one table just got up & left.
After waiting far too long for our dessert fondue to arrive, we hailed the the'boss' down & said we just couldn't wait any longer - we were exhausted. We asked him to cancel our 3rd course & get our server to bring the bill. Again - this took over 15 minutes just to get her to come to the table with the bill & card machine. We paid $179 for a pot of cheese fondue for 2 & a meat fondue with a tray of sliced beef - less than 100grams, a baked potato & a green salad that had no dressing & 3 glasses of house wine. They didn't take the dessert fondue off our bill because it was part of a'Trio' order. I stupidly left a $20 tip because I was so exhausted that I could not bear to wait for the change on $200.
Also, the tables & chairs are shabby & need replacing. A couple near us had a pendant light fixture fall from the ceiling after he bumped his head on it while sitting down - crashed all over the place. Lucky he wasn't hurt
Spend a $100 more & go to Le Continental across the street. You will have one of the most amazing meals of your life there & you won't have thrown away $200
Avoid Le Petit Chateau & don't be seduced by its location. It is a rip off.
Un super restaurant, avec vue sur la tour principal du château.
Le service est super chaleureux, la nourriture est bonne & vite servi.
C'est animé par des chouettey musiciens..
Un lieu vraiment agréable pour y manger, boire un verre & y passer un moment !
