Très bel endroit à découvrir à l'intérieur du Château Frontenac! Magnifique vue sur le fleuve à par de la verrière. Excellents plats avec un service aux tables irréprochable.

3.5 ⭐️ really. Food was alright. Cocktails were a disgrace, one was way too weak, & the other overly sour. Service was friendly & attentive.

Food was excellent but they tell you that half the tables are reserved (when they obviously aren't) & severely limit your choice of seating - no view, which is the predominant reason to visit. Didn't think it was worth the money

We came in for cocktails & we're so pleased with both the drinks & the service. Music isn't loud so it's a nice spot to catch up with friends

Amazing food! Especially the duck drumsticks. The oysters were probably the freshest we had ever seen. The kids menu was extremely good, the chicken breast was so juicy. It was pretty busy when we were there but the service was not too bad.

Great view of the river, attentive service, & tasty well-presented food. The servings are very generous, & all items we had were satisfactory. Overall, a good dining experience. My husband & I ordered 6 oysters, a bowl of French Onion soup, a 3-cheese plate for appetizers, & we were full before the entrées. One entrée would've been enough. The soup could've been hotter, but it was tasty. The 3-cheese plate & the cheese puff with grilled veggies were my favorites. The seafood casserle was propbably overpriced. Oysters were fresh. The wines - a Barolo & a Pino noir - were also solid.

Although ask the restaurants are wonderful, this is probably the best IMHO in Chateau Frontenac. It has a spectacular view of the St Lawrence River, & the food is delicious, yet it won't break your wallet.
