Nous avons eu le plaisir de venir bruncher à la Place Dufferin au Château Frontenac avec un groupe d'amis, & nous avons passé un excellent moment. Le brunch était délicieux, avec des produits de grande qualité & un très beau choix de plats. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin. Un merci tout particulier à Christopher, notre serveur, qui a été très gentil, attentionné & professionnel. Il a contribué à rendre notre expérience encore plus agréable. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !
We arrived early & had a 10:30am reservation. While we waited we watched several groups who had arrived after us, including some who had no reservations, get seated first. We finally were seated 20 minutes later than our reservation. Granted the food & view were great.
Excellent breakfast. We did the sit down & ordered waffles, eggs benedict & oatmeal. The oatmeal was beautiful! The buffet looked perfect for families with hungry kids. The food was incredible. Service was amazing. Only reason why I gave it a 4.5 is because I don't think there is a patio.
Pour une 3e visite, très très déçu, beau choix de buffet, mais tout était froid oeufs, saucisses, bacon,les petites patates, pas de nappe sur les tables, tu dois déposer ustensiles direct sur la table, il y avait des oeillets mais la nôtre était tellement fané qu elle était sèche, pour le resto du château très très décevant, je n y retournerai & recommanderai plus qualité prix ça ne vaut pas la peine .
Tomamos café no hotel , valeu pela experiência. Mas o buffet de comida nao é muito igual a de hotéis comuns. Valeu mesmo
Pela experiência de estar tomando café no Fairmont
The breakfast experience here was surprisingly disappointing for a hotel of this level.
First, the selection was quite limited. More importantly, the fruit was clearly not fresh. The strawberries looked wilted, & when I tried one it tasted dry, sour, & almost bitter.
Second, the waiting system was very poorly managed. We had to wait around 30 minutes just to get seated. During that time we asked the front desk three separate times, & each time we were told it would be another 10-15 minutes.
Only after we became visibly frustrated did they suddenly say a table was available & let us in.
If you can't host that many guests for breakfast, get more tables. Plus, the food was NOR WORTH the wait anyways..
