We ordered the chocolate fondue & two drinks. While the chocolate itself was fine, the accompanying fruits were a major letdown. The strawberries had clearly been cut long before serving & were dry & starting to spoil, while the blueberries were shriveled & some even had mold. Only the banana was fresh & edible. It's disappointing, especially considering how simple it is to serve fresh fruit.

In addition, once our order was brought out, the staff seemed to completely forget about us. We couldn't get anyone's attention to order anything else or even to request the check. In the end, my husband had to go all the way to the front desk to find the person who had seated us just to ask for the bill. Overall, not the best experience.

We initially visited this restaurant in 2022 & provided a glowing review.

Recently, we returned to Quebec City over the weekend & decided to revisit.

However, the experience was significantly disappointing. It is unclear whether the restaurant has changed ownership, but the quality has deteriorated significantly.

The cheese fondue resembled solidified fondue cheese found in supermarkets. The bread appeared to be approximately two days old, neither too hard nor too soft, with a lingering aftertaste. The overpriced apples we ordered were soggy & soft.

Moving on to the main course, the fondue pot & heating apparatus were outdated, preventing the fondue stock from boiling & consequently hindering the cooking of the meat. The fondue was served with a warm, not hot, baked potato containing a single, packaged square of butter, a microscopic green salad, & a small amount of dipping sauce.

For the final course, we were served a chocolate fondue with fruit. The serving consisted of four grapes, three strawberries, some bananas, maraschino cherries, & mini marshmallows. The chocolate fondue had a burnt flavour, which persisted despite the waiters bringing out a fresh bowl.

The only positive aspect of the evening was the attentiveness of the wait staff. The young men serving us were courteous & professional.

In summary, while there are excellent restaurants in Quebec City, this establishment falls short. On a Saturday evening, the restaurant was empty. The decor appeared to have remained untouched for over three decades, accompanied by a musty odour. The utensils & fondue pots were outdated, lacking any attention to detail. The meal was excessively expensive for the quality of the food. The presentation & the quality of the dishes were abysmal. The cheese & chocolate fondues were particularly disappointing. The soft drinks, served in cans, were priced at $5 each. Very limited selection on the children's menu so we ordered from the full price adult menu for the kids.

I was deeply disappointed, especially since I had recommended this restaurant to eight of my friends who were with us.

Our previous experience was far more positive. I doubt we will be returning for a third time.

Lots of mixed reviews for this restaurant. We had a wonderful time. We were two families with kids. The service was excellent & the food was on point!! My favorite was the cheese fondue.

For dessert we experienced their maple fondue which for me was a first. Excellent!!

Everyone had fun & our meal was very reasonably priced.

Friendly staff, good service, great food!! Looking forward to coming back in the future.

If you want a Fondue experience to remember, Le Petit Chateau is a must! Servers are very helpful & want you to have the best experience possible, we had a 3 course fondue dinner, started with cheese then i chose beef for my main & of course chocolate for dessert. This was a dinner experience i wont forget.

The fondue pot used for the cheese had seen better days. Some new pots would be in order. The chocolate should have been more flavorful. It seemed like chocolate sauce poured into a bowl

We had a lovely food experience at this fondue restaurant. The cheese fondue was delicious & the wait staff very attentive to our needs. The only complaint that we had was that the bread accompanying the fondue tasted a bit stale which was definitely a bit of a let down. The actual cheese fondue was delicious & the chocolate fondue was yummy.

We enjoyed our evening very much. Our waitress was attentive & helpful. We had the trio with the cheese, meat, & chocolate. The meat was amazing! We had never had meat so thinly sliced which made it much easier to cook.

Lively bistro atmosphere in interesting old building next to Chateau Frontenac. The French onion soup was delicious, as was the chocolate fondue.

It was a fun experience. My boyfriend & I shared the trio (cheese, beef & chocolate). It was enough for the both of us. We would of preferred to have a selection of veggies & not just stale bread for the cheese. The selection for the chocolate was really yummy! Our server was nice but didn't come by often.
