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.

Service gentil & sympathique.
La terrasse avec chansonnier est fort agréable. Le bloody Mary ne goûte rien.
Une entrée d'huitres à 19$ ne vaut aucunement le prix...c'est presqu'une arnaque. Les huitres sont très petites. L'entrée d'escargots à la crème est très bonne. La fondue chinoise à 29$ est un peu dispendieuse pour ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette. Il y a 4 petites cuillères de sauce à différentes saveurs, mais honnêtement, elles ne goûtent pas grand-chose.
Le fish'n chips a une belle portion & est bon.
Nos attentes étaient peut-être trop grandes! Nous sommes sortis avec une facture de presque 200$.

Service & ambiance impeccable mais grosse déception sur le trio de fondue. Fondue au fromage suisse, Gruyère & mozzarela avec du pain décongelé...
Fondue chinoise, c'est une soupe a l'onion...
Fondue chocolat, même le Nestlé dessert de supermarché est meilleur .

I can not say enough good things about this restaurant. We had the trio fondue & crèpes & it was fantastic. The server was engaging & attentive. Plus, its the only fondue restaurant in the area.

I brought my family here this evening to experience traditional fondue because it's not something we experience commonly in our province. We were seated quickly & Pascal took our order for a three course fondue meal. It started out well enough & the cheese fondue was excellent. However, our waiter seem to have forgotten about us after the first course & served the entire restaurant while we sat there in total for an hour & a half. At this time, we decided to cancel the rest of our order & leave. The waiter was asked by other staff to bring our bill & he never did end up coming back to the table. Another waiter had to set the bill for us. If you get Pascal for a waiter, I would recommend you ask to be seated in another area. Worst service we have ever experienced.

We had a family fondue dinner & really enjoyed the experience. We went at 530 & the restaurant was very quiet. The kids had dinner from the kids menu & we shared the cheese & chocolate fondue. We added on the apples & veg & were happy we did. The service was great. Very friendly & great w kids.

Very tasty cheese fondue where you get apples instead of bread if you're gluten free. Nice staff & great atmosphere!

Crepes & fondue - what's not to love! Great atmosphere & attentive staff - William joyfully encouraged our attempts at conversing in French & made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Cheese fondue with a side of sliced apples & a ham & cheese crepe (along with beer & wine) was just right for our family of four. Glad we stopped by after a morning of touring - we really enjoyed our visit!
