Ce restaurant est bien. On y va pour sa bonne bouffe & le cachet de l'endroit. Je recommande de réserver à l'avance, car une place dans la véranda vous offre une vue exceptionnelle à ne pas manqué.

Dans un autre ordre d'idée, lorsque vous y sommes allés en avril 2025, le service était un peu lent, mais la personne qui nous a servi irréprochable.

Enfin, c'est un endroit historique où vous serez ravis de la cuisine.

They have good food & great drinks. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to go as it cane get quite busy during dinner time. Had a salad & beef, both were great. Really recommend as a spot to end your day after strolling through Quebec city, where you can get a view of St Lawrence River (if you get a table by the window).

Nous y sommes allées pour une boisson chaude en après-midi. Luana, notre serveuse, nous a offert un service hors pair.

L'hôte à l'entrée nous a aussi très bien accueillies.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse. Les sièges sont confortables & la vue sur le majestueux St-Laurent est imprenable.

Le thé est servi dans une théière, lui permettant d'infuser convenablement & de demeurer chaud plus longtemps.

Le chocolat chaud est personnalisé avec guimauves &/ou crème fouettée.

Je recommande assurément cet endroit.

We had a wonderful dining experience! Annie provided amazing service, making us feel welcome & taken care of throughout our meal. She even brought fresh cut ginger for my wife who wasn't feeling well. The vegetarian soups were absolutely delicious-full of flavor & very satisfying. I also really enjoyed the drinks, which paired perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food & service!
Thank you Annie, pleasure meeting you & enjoyed your service!!!!

The view is beautiful. The service was great. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to accommodate my sister & me for lunch in a very sunny portion of the restaurant where we could see the view of the Dufferin Terrace. The scallops & fennel were chef's kiss 💋. My sister had the seafood casserole that tasted really yummy, also. I ordered the truffle popcorn for dessert. The cosmopolitan 🍸 was sooo nice. Would definitely recommend, & will return.

Fabulous drinks, great food. Friendly staff. Great place to enjoy while staying at the Chateau Frontenac. Highly recommend.

Shoutout to Annika, who had to deal with some drunk hockey parents, who were part of the Pee-Wee hockey tournament. The restaurant was overwhelmed with poorly behaved kids & & their difficult parents. Regardless of such, the staff kept things in good order & it was much appreciated!
