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.

I tried the afternoon tea service here over the weekend & it was lovely. The staff are super friendly. We arrived earlier than our reservation & they were able to fit us in earlier as well. The french macaron was a little dry & some items weren't to my tastes, but overall the service & food assortment was great. My favourite item was the scone & the raspberry blackcurrant spread for it. I was actually quite full & couldn't finish all of the sweets. Our table was right next to the window & had a beautiful view of the city line across the river. I would definitely recommend trying it out at least once.

Overall, I'm glad that we did this, but I wouldn't do it again. The tea was beautiful. The room & lighting & piano music & the presentation of the food were all pitch perfect. Also, the staff were wonderful.

The food, itself, ranged from okay to good with two exceptions. There was a biscuit/scone that was amazing with clotted cream, orange marmalade & raspberry jam. It was to die for. & the then there was a profiterole with a chocolate cream & caramel. It was truly exceptional. Everything else was very average.

In summary, fun experience & ambience. Average food.

This place is amazingly beautiful & elegant. The staff was super friendly & very helpful. The food was just okay. The buffet food wasn't great but you get a lot of it! The omelet station didn't do a great job of cooking the vegetables before the egg was added resulting in semi cold vegetables surrounded by barely cooked eggs. Still this is a must see location even if you dont eat here.

Great option for a nice buffet breakfast inside the iconic Chateau Frontenac with beautiful views of the Dufferin Terrace! Service was great, buffet was plentiful with many options. It was a wonderful way to start our day of exploring Québec City!
