We can here twice on our 4 day visit. We had the mushroom & cheese crepes & ham & cheese. It was so delicious. We came for dinner on our last night to try the trio fondue. To start you off with a cheese fondue served with bread, & you can add apple or vegetables with it. Then came the meat fondue & you can get the beef or chicken & this came with a baked potato & salad & 3 sauces. What was nice about this was that it was not oil but a beef bouillon. It had a really nice flavour. Then came the chocolate fondue with fruit & marshmallow. I highly recommend this trio fondue as we really enjoyed it. It was a lot of food & incredible. The staff there are great! They very attentive & made for a very nice experience. If ever we go back to Quebec we will be back for more crepes & fondue. Thank you so much!
Went as a group of four. Had the fondue trio which was great. Cheese fondue was tasty, meat was tender, broth was good, & the chocolate fondue delicious. Overall a nice experience.
I feel like the interior got updated since our last visit. I remember the interior having more character.
Overall, a great evening & fun-due is always great.
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

Bon accueil, personnel serviable & succulent trio de fondues ! La fondue au fromage est succulente ainsi que la viande de la fondue chinoise. & la fondue dessert à l'érable couronne merveilleusement le tout.
Cozy, warm, & honestly the perfect Valentine's Day spot. We ordered the trio: bread with cheese fondue, then beef cooked in hot broth, & finished with chocolate fondue. Everything felt comforting & fun, & it truly made my Valentine's Day. 💛🍫
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.
Nois avons pris le trio fondue qui est excellent mais les quantités ont diminué versus avant. La fondue au boeuf, au fromage & au chocolat wow.
Les crêpes repas sont aussi excellente
Serveur tjrs agréable souriant & accueillant.
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.
